Mission Target (Jake Wolfe Thrillers Book 7) by Mark Nolan

Mission Target is the seventh book in the Jake Wolfe Thriller Series and is a Action Thriller that will have you turning the pages till the end. This series just keeps getting better and better. The attention to detail along with fully developed characters make for a adventure. The twists and turns had me turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Jake’s back at it again but this time the mystery has him in a race against time. What will happen when he is faced with his past and can he find a way to leave it there? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another exciting and fast paced novel with Jake Wolfe and his highly intelligent dog Cody. Jake and Cody must find and stop a mysterious criminal syndicate which is importing large amounts of a strange new drug. The drug causes many users to drop dead and there is no known antidote. Jake then discovers that the drug is being used as a weapon, and even being deployed by a hostile foreign entity fighting a secret war against US citizens. Jake and Cody once again put their own lives in danger to investigate and stop these conspirators who are threatening mass murder. Jake is horrified to discover that he knows some of the people involved in these acts of treason. I literally could not put this action-packed book down as I was gripped throughout!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a fun read. I have never read one of the Jake Wolfe novels before, so this can be read as a stand alone. I really enjoyed Jake and Cody’s characters. The only reason for four stars instead of five is because I felt like there was a lot of filler that could have been left out. I found myself trying to skip ahead to get back to the main plot.

Overall, I enjoyed the book, the characters, and the world that they live in. I love a good happy ending, and I truly feel like this book deserved the ending it got. I highly recommend for any crime or thriller junkies!

When reading the other books.in the series I somehow managed to overlook this one so decided it was time to finally add it in. Although I never felt like I was missing something, I am really glad I did because it is such a great story. It was nice seeing an earlier version of Jake and Cody and seeing how their characters had developed.over time. They are juat as engaging now as they were then.
The story itself is fast paced and exciting. So much seems to happen in these books and I am always engrossed in this story. This is a fantastic book and the whole series is worth a read!

It feels like it has been such a long time since I read one of these books and this one has to be the best so far. It was so easy to reconnect with the characters and become engaged with the story. This book is just as exciting and fast paced of the rest of the series. It is action packed right from the word go.
One of my favourite things about this series is the connection between Jake and Cody. It is lovely to see how much they both rely on each other, not just one way or the other. With each book, their relationship grows stronger. This author has created a strong and lasting series and I hope there will be many more books to come.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jake and Cody rule. There are just no two ways about it. They are classy and fun.

So much has happened since my last Jake and Cody thrill ride. Cody has puppies!! No surprise that they are super smart and helpers, just like Cody. Okay, I digress.

While enjoying some time off in the Florida Keys, Jake is contacted by his Secret Service contact about needing Jake for a job. It is during this job that Jake finds out about a new weapon being used against citizens of the US, a new drug that is deadly and being used to taint the drug supply. This new lethal combination is causing havoc throughout the drug trade, even in-fight within the cartels.

Jake and Cody have been tasked with taking down as many of the traffickers that they can find to stop or at least stem the tide of this new drug entering the US. As Jake and Cody do their thing, it paints a large bullseye on not only them but friends and family. Jake and Cody must work within the law to keep everyone safe, especially themselves.

The action in this book does not stop. Whether it is guns blazing or Jake and Cody saving senior citizens from bullies on the beach, Jake and Cody are in constant motion. The author does not fail to entertain or keep you guessing. There are a few surprises sprinkled throughout.

Here is to Jake and Cody saving the world (or at least some part of it) again and again!!! Fantastic read.

Once again, Mark Nolan knocks it out of the park with this Jake Wolfe book. Jake and Cody are at it again and they are trying to stop a deadly drug that is spreading like wildfire. However, this assignment is not going to be what it seems and we are taken on a well crafted roller coaster ride as Jake and Cody work to finish the assignment and stay alive. This is perhaps the best Jake Wolfe book yet and I hope that there is more to come. I definitely recommend reading this book and the rest of the series!

Killer Lawyer
By: Mark Nolan

Jake and Cody have quickly become some of my favorite characters in any series. Jake has some crazy ideas and I love watching how Cody helps Jake with these ideas. This story moves quickly and there were so many times when I thought for sure that there was no where else for the story to go when another twist comes out of the woodwork. Throughout the series Jake makes fantastic connections with other characters. Although these books each function as a standalone, Mark Nolan leaves threads that bring characters back up in some way.
Mark Nolan knows how to craft a thriller, it is filled with twists and turns that keep you riveted until the very end. I recommend reading this one and the rest of the series!

Jake has such an interesting background and he’s not afraid to go rogue when the situation arises. He and his trusty sidekick, Cody, are immersed in another drama that is threatening American lives. Together, they set out to get the people behind all this action and bring them to justice.

Deadly Weapon
By; Mark Nolan

Every once in a while an author creates a character that I find myself consistently wanting to read more of. Mark Nolan created this in the character is Jake Wolfe. I am so excited everytime I see that there is a new Jake Wolfe book for me to read. I know that it will be a book that sucks me in and sends me on a fast paced suspenseful ride. This story definitely ups the suspense factor as it seems so much more realistic than some of his past books. Not that any of the others were far fetched but I think it is really because the story hits so close to home for me. This is book 5 in the series, but each and every book so far would be able to be read as a standalone. But I definitely recommend you read each of the series as you will be entered into the world of Jake Wolfe.

Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie
By: Mark Nolan

This is a very well written story. The characters are completely well developed and interesting. I loved how Cody (the dog) was such a great part of the story. Jake is always in the wrong place and the wrong time and that really drives the story. That and his secret past. I found it interesting that he was engaged to someone he felt he had to record. This part of the story really felt somewhat relatable to me but it definitely also felt like it was the stuff that reality shows are made of. When he finally comes to his senses and moves out things get even more interesting. I truly loved how fast paced the story was and how there just seemed like so much depth to Jake and the whole plot. I definitely recommend this one as it was well written and fast paced.

For the wealthy lawyers of the San Francisco area, beware! The Artist is coming after attorneys and Jake is going to do everything he can to save as many of them as possible. Can he do it without coming into harms way himself though?

What a great start to this series! I love that there is a military war dog involved in this series. I’m a bit of a pushover for these creatures! There is a lot of action, twists and turns, and some deceit thrown in to make this a very enjoyable read!

Mission Target (Jake Wolfe, # 7)Mission Target by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mission Target is book seven in the Jake Wolfe Thriller series. I do recommend reading the previous books in the series just to get better character development but it can also be a standalone. Jake and Cody are back at it again, with more adventures, action, danger, and violence. Mission Target deals with drugs, and the aftermath of them. Jake and Cody must try to find the source of the drug war to end it before more people are affected, or killed. That is, until Jake becomes a target himself. If there is ever a person that can attract all the danger, it is Jake. This one is full of twists and turns and when you think you got it figured out, more information is released. I liked this one more than the previous ones but still way too unbelievable for me to get fully immersed into the story. I absolutely LOVE Cody and his intelligence and loyalty, so if there are any more adventures planned for Jake and Cody, I will definitely read them. Overall I would say this series is a solid 4 star, for me, but don’t allow that to deter you as it is a fun storyline with a lot in each book.

Key West DeadKey West Dead by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Key West Dead is book six in the Jake Wolfe Thriller series and can be read as a standalone. This one is probably my least favorite of the series so far, and feels rushed and not executed as well as the previous books were. It could be that I am used to Jake and Cody now, and predicting what is to come, so it could be a biased focal point for me. This time around, the duo are on a boat in the Keys with long-time girlfriend Sarah when someone decides they want to take out all the military in attendance. Cody is an ex-war dog that can do it all, and this time is no exception, and goes right to work helping Jake discover who is involved and taking down the bad guys. While we still have all of the action, danger, and over the top scenarios, the last two books have also had quite a bit of romance in it as well. This is still a good book to read, just not as interesting to me as the previous ones have been, but hopefully the next one will step back up to the plate. Anyone that is new to the Jake Wolfe Series may love this, as there is a lot to unpack in it, just like the others.

Deadly Weapon (Jake Wolfe, #5)Deadly Weapon by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deadly Weapon is the fifth book in the Jake Wolfe Thriller series and can be read as a stand alone. Reading the previous books does help with the character development but is not necessary for the story and plot line. Action, danger, and trouble seems to follow Jake and his ex-war dog, Cody and this time is no different. Deadly Weapon focuses on something we have all recently dealt with…a global pandemic of a deadly virus. Now Jake and his beloved sidekick/dog must get to the bottom of who/what has caused the spread, and ultimately get it stopped before things get worse. I did like this one more than the previous ones as it was somewhat relatable and had a lot of issues we face going on in it. That being said, what can Jake NOT do? He has done so much in just five books, and keeps changing careers and gets his hands dirty in everything he does. I like the action and danger, but it becomes unbelievable and makes me lose the immersion that I love in a book. Still a great read and plenty of people will love this series for the fast paced craziness that always happens. I still adore Cody most of all, he is such a loyal and clever companion and always knows just what to do! I will continue the series to see what other trouble these two can get into next.

San Diego Dead (Jake Wolfe #4)San Diego Dead by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

San Diego Dead is book four in the Jake Wolfe Thriller series. As with the previous books in the series, San Diego Dead is full of action, drama, danger, and violence. Jake and Cody have returned again, and as we know, trouble is always present with these two. This time around, a dangerous cartel boss has set his sights on Jake and his loved ones and doesnt seem to be backing down any time soon. These stories are told in multiple POV, including Cody (the ex-war dog), so you get into the heads of good guys and bad guys alike. Even though I have read through this series, I do think this could be a standalone and easily followed without the previous books. Reading the entire series does give background and insight into Jake and Cody, but the excursions and things that happens becomes a bit much and unbelievable at some point. Everything that can happen, does. I do like the action and the fast paced read of this series, but wish it was more believable overall. I still say Cody is my favorite character, and is such a clever dog. I will continue to read the series to see where else Mr.Nolan can take us with these characters and how much more trouble they can find. Not a bad read at all for those that love the action and on-going troubles that follow.

Get ready to hang on for this one. Once again Jake and Cody are out to protect the innocents and get rid of the evils of the world. While Cody is the Dog he plays a big part in this story. Don’t get me wrong, I fell in love with Jake, Cody just brings the story together. This is a match not to be messed with. The action packed events will keep you reading. I do recommend you start the series from the beginning. You don’t have to but you would be missing a lot more adventure. The story is an unforgettable and action packed page turner. The story is well written and keeps the reader engaged. This author brings so much to his series. I am looking forward to book 8.

Killer Lawyer is book three in the Jake Wolfe Thriller series. Jake and Cody have returned for more adventures and danger, reminiscent of the previous books. This time around, Jake is a lawyer who also works in a secret agency, trying to find a killer who murders at random. The story is more complex than the previous two books, but still plenty of action and danger. As Jake gets more involved, the killer turns his sites on the main character, and his loved ones. This book is told in multiple POV so you get insight into the antics of different characters, including Cody the dog. I think my favorite part of this series is the dynamic relationship Jake and Cody have, and how they work so well together.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vigilante Assassin is the second book in the Jake Wolfe Thriller series. Book two returns with Jake Wolfe and his very clever dog, Cody (who may be my favorite character). Cody is extremely smart and an amazing service dog that gets in the middle of the action and wins you over quickly. Jake, an ex Marine with has seen his share of action, continues to bring more to the plate. The book starts out fast and never slows down. There is A LOT of action and scenarios that happen in this one and is more fast paced than book one, which I did enjoy. My only complaint are the scenarios are very far fetched and unbelievable. For instance, Cody alerting Jake about a man approaching with a grenade launcher…who has a grenade launcher!? I do love reading multiple POV books and seeing things from different angles and there is plenty of that to be had with this series. You even get inside the head of Cody (the dog) as well and I found that to be unique. Overall, it is a nice read if you love action and military cat and mouse style books, and would give it a try for sure.

Dead Lawyers Don't Lie (Jake Wolfe, #1)Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dead Lawyers Don’t Die is the first book in the Jake Wolfe Thriller set, and also the first book I have read from this author. Former marine and current photo journalist, Jake Wolfe, accidentally comes across “The Artist”, a local murderer. Now that is is involved, the inevitable and predictable game of cat and mouse begins. The story was entertaining and kept me turning the pages, but was not my favorite, as I found some instances unbelievable and pulled me from the immersion. Some things seemed a little TOO conveniently set out for the elusive murder and while his games were fun to follow, they were also a bit cliché at some points. That being said, I enjoyed the characters and their many very different personalities, and that they were well written. I especially loved Cody, a very clever dog, and you get to see some things from his perspective as well! Some dialogue was left hanging, but let’s be real, conversations can sometimes be hard to write. I did, overall, enjoy this book, and will give his other books in the series a try and see if the story continues to develop and grow on me.

Jake is on another covert mission, this time trying to help stop a deadly drug ending up on the streets but when he discovers a beautiful girl on a beach and with similar resemblance to Sarah his girlfriend the case deepens and become dangerous for not just Jake but his friend and family.

As more and more is discovered and they are reaching the top of the tree can Jake keep himself, Cody his dog and everyone from the crosshairs of the gang. you will have to read to find out.

This is a great series and although I have read a few books and not all it does detract from story, these books can be read as stand alone and are well written and the story is developed brilliantly. The twists and turns have you on the end of whatever you are sitting on and will have you guessing till the end.

The character of Jake seems rough and ready but in the story you see the loyalty he shows not only to his partner, Cody his K-9 dog but to all the important people in his life and appreciates the struggles most people have. I always love a flawed hero and Jake is that with his PTSD from the marines playing a part in his daily struggles. Sarah was a great counter to Jake’s character and the love they show for each other was there on the page.

This is full of twists and turns and offers a sight into the underworld of drugs and gangs but I could not put the story down. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series and will go back and read the ones I haven’t, I forgot what a great thriller these books are.
