Emotional and dark with heart-stopping action, The Price You Pay packs a powerful punch you’ll feel in your bones. Nick Petrie has taken this wonderful series to another level by providing an unforgettable story about trying to outrun your past and the strength of unconditional friendship.
Lewis has always been there for Peter Ash, no questions asked. Now Lewis’ criminal past – which he thought was behind him – has come back with a vengeance and it’s Peter’s turn to be by his friend’s side no matter what they may face. With a ruthless, wealthy and powerful adversary pulling out all the stops to make Lewis pay dearly for a past transgression, Lewis will get his old crew back together and, with Peter’s help, flip the script and go from the hunted to the hunters. And nothing short of the lives of everyone he cares about hang in the balance.
The Price You Pay is amazing. Full Stop. It doesn’t allow you to catch your breath for a second. An enemy out for blood at any cost. Peter’s complete commitment to Lewis regardless of the level of danger or number of laws they might have to break. June’s resolve to support their efforts and do whatever is necessary. Lewis’ emotional journey and reflection on his worthiness to have a family and life after what he’s done. Compelling character development wrapped around a violent and propulsive story. It’s fantastic stuff.
It's no secret that this series is one of my favorites and that I love these characters. Peter is an incredible protagonist and has been exquisitely developed over the course of the prior seven books. And I absolutely adore Lewis and June, two of the best and most entertaining supporting characters in the genre. So, to get a book that deep dives into Lewis’ backstory and is dedicated to further strengthening the bonds between these friends through intense adversity is a fantastic way to progress this series. Add the fact that it’s brilliantly constructed, gorgeously written and hits you squarely in the feels, and you get a book that is a beautiful gift from Nick Petrie.
Fans are going to absolutely love this one and it’s also a great entry point for thriller fans looking for a way into this series. A book that will create early buzz and be talked about as one of the best books of 2024.
