No Pistol Tastes the Same (PTSD Disaster Book 1) by Jacob Paul Patchen – Review by Amanda Swindle

No Pistol Tastes the Same by Jacob Paul Patchen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is heavy, and may have intense trigger warnings for those that suffer from PTSD. That being said, this was a book that I could not put down. No Pistol Tastes the Same is about PTSD, a very real and very intense illness that many of our war vets come home with. The synopsis of the book reads “Sergeant JP Grimm didn’t pull the trigger. Now his Marine brothers are dead…” The intended target of that bullet? A child. A child in a suicide vest that eerily reminds him of his very own son. A moment of hesitation, and the bomb goes off, leaving his entire team deceased around him. After the split second that cost him everything, JP must go home, and pretend war never happened. He tries to bond with his son, who he keeps seeing in that young boy so very far away. JP struggles with his own thoughts, denial, and grief, and you (the reader) will be taken on an emotional rollercoaster.
