THREE DAYS to DIE (Aaron Quinn thriller series, No. 1) [Kindle Edition]

John Avery (Author)

Book Description

HE DIDN'T MEAN TO OVERHEAR ... but he did.

HE ONLY HEARD A FEW WORDS ... but he heard too much.

HE RAN ... but he was followed -- a mistake that would turn thirteen-year-old Aaron Quinn's, and his beautiful, courageous, single mother, Ashley's, worlds upside down.

THE CLOCK STARTS TICKING ... when Aaron is stolen from his mother by a psychotic killer and thrust headlong into a dark underworld of armed robbery, prostitution, and death. Will Aaron lose his mind as he's forced to participate in a deadly crime spree and witness first hand the horror of cold-blooded murder?

THE WALLS CLOSE IN ... on Ashley when she listens to a tape recording left on her pillow by the killer, giving her two choices:

1) Call the police and risk being responsible for her only child's death ...

2) Offer herself as a sacrifice in exchange for his life ...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE HER?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced thriller! December 15, 2011

By McDroll

Format:Kindle Edition

I wouldn't particularly choose to read a novel where the central character is a thirteen year old boy but I am so pleased that I read Three Days to Die. The main character Aaron and his friend, although they are young, come across as real characters - not stereotypical teenagers. They have problems, hopes and fears in their everyday world that compare to any adult.

I flew through this book at quite a lick and that's always a good sign for me, I just kept reading far into the night because the adventure never stops. I particularly liked the part where the boys were locked up in the factory - very descriptive writing. John Avery seems to be able to get under his characters' skins and he hits the emotional button time and time again. The book focuses on themes of loneliness, loss and abandonment at a variety of levels in all of the characters in the book.

So if you enjoy a fast paced thriller with an emotional heart, Three Days to Die is the one for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Completely wowed! March 20, 2012

By N. Budden

Format:Kindle Edition

John Avery took me into a world I didn't expect. I couldn't imagine living through, much less having to endure, many of the circumstances the characters in this book faced. Even the title of the book is perfect because, essentially, every character mentioned had the possibility of dying in three days, depending upon how the events would unfold, of course.

Three Days to Die, at the heart, shows just how people may react under desperate sets of circumstances. It shows how the "decent" people of society can fall from grace, whether from an action they've committed or because of uncontrollable circumstances - which causes the tide to turn against them. It points out how a child with a home can be falling through the cracks of society because of dysfunctional families which they don't want to return home to. However, Three Days to Die also reveals how courageous the human soul can be when confronted head on between right and wrong - between life and death.

I truly got lost between the pages of this wonderfully told story - though I did cringe and even cry sometimes and wanted to hit someone at other times, which is totally against my nature. It just goes to show how totally absorbed I was in the world John Avery created in Three Days to Die.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why Such High Ratings July 29, 2012

By Annie Athens

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Once again I am surprised at the high ratings that readers have given this novel. As it was advertised as a thriller and seeing the number of 5 star ratings, I was looking forward to an exciting read. Frankly I had to skim through parts of this book as the writing was so immature. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because I considered some young adults might enjoy it as a good read.
