| Louise G. | ★★★★★ | I feel like this book’s protagonist responds how a real person would respond—he is no textbook hero who acts without thinking and copes with whatever trauma ensues. This makes for a very interesting point of difference. This is not to say the book is not full of action. Rather, there is action aplenty—but the descriptions and reactions are more thoughtful and credible than many fast-paced thrillers. It’s a great book—can’t believe I missed this series and am keen to read the previous books. |
| Anna L. | ★★★★★ |
A twisted and suspenseful thriller Glen Hellman’s Time to Die is a gripping and immersive thriller that’ll keep you on the edge. The story follows a complex plot involving mercy killing, secrets, and a web of consequences. Hellman’s writing is taut and engaging, crafting a narrative that’s both a thrilling ride and a thought-provoking exploration of morality. The characters are complex and relatable, with a cast that’ll keep you invested. The plot is expertly woven, with twists and turns that’ll keep you turning pages. If you enjoy thrillers with plenty of suspense and moral dilemmas, Time to Die is a compelling read. |
| Brea B. | ★★★★ | This was a fun, fast-paced thriller that kept me guessing. Greg is just trying to shop for his daughter’s nursery when his world is turned upside down, setting off a chain of dangerous events filled with action, suspense, and a surprising amount of humor.
I liked that Greg felt like an ordinary person thrown into an extraordinary situation. His reactions felt believable, which made the story more engaging than a typical action thriller where the main character always seems to have the perfect answer. If you enjoy thrillers with relatable characters, plenty of action, and a touch of humor, this one is worth picking up. |
| Janet R. | ★★★★ | Really enjoyed this book—enjoyed the humour, and the plot kept me interested. Look forward to reading more from this author.

| Danielle G. | ★★★★ | This was a very enjoyable read for me. Greg has survived a lot of dangerous situations in his life. While shopping for his daughter’s nursery, everything comes crashing down around him. This book was tragic, comical, a thriller, an action—and keeps you on your toes. It has the feel of multiple genres in one and keeps you wanting to read more. I would recommend this book! |
| Karen R. | ★ | The book was too slow. |
| Justyna B. | ★ | DNF at 20%. I didn’t like the pacing or the writing in this case—found it hard to connect and follow the story. |
