This was an excellent book! It was one I’d definitely read again, although I had a hard time with it. The realistic portrayal of mental health and the true experiences shared are so enlightening. It’s such an important topic to understand and yet there’s such a strong stigma against discussing it. I truly adore that this author sat down and decided this story was the one to be told. I will absolutely be looking up his other books! If you’re looking for a story that will teach you something, or let you understand someone else’s experiences in a way that lets you walk beside them and just listen – even if they may not have all the words – I would definitely recommend this one.

This book is incredibly intense. Going into it, I knew it would be a little heavy, considering what the synopsis is about, but it was way heavier than I expected. I am a person suffering from PTSD, and even though I didn’t get mine through war, the details and intensity of the flashbacks did almost trigger mine, so if you struggle with PTSD go into this book carefully and delicately, and take breaks when you need to. That being said, however, it is a very good book, and wonderfully written. The author is keen on details, and it goes from a rocky beginning to a well done ending. I’m looking forward to the second book, now that I know what I’m expecting.

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.

This a book of what happens to people after war. PTSD is a real illness that our soldiers come back with. The main character of the book is JP Grimes. He is fighting to regain his hold on himself after, in the middle of a firefight, fails to shoot the child wearing a suicide vest. He can’t pull the trigger because he sees his son in the child resulting in his entire squad dying. He returns to his family tortured by his moment’s inaction. After returning home, he struggles with connecting with his son. He can’t control his emotions and flashbacks. He refuses help, and things go from bad to worse with the death of his grandparents who raised him. This story is deeply emotional and gives good insight to what living with PTSD is and how to heal.

No Pistol Tastes the Same (PTSD Disaster Book 1) by Jacob Paul Patchen. This is my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. I loved this book. It was so very emotional. Its the story of Sergeant JP Grimm who has watched many of his friends die. The child in the suicide vest reminded him so much of his son. When he returns to his wife and son things are not the same. His relationship with his son is totally different. His relationship with his wife is falling apart. JP is shutting everyone and everything out. The guilt and shame he has after seeing his whole troop die is indescribable. This story is filled with so much emotion. Living with PTSD must be horrific. Will he be able to put his life back together or will he lose everything he cares about. Can he patch up things with his son? Will he be able to let his wife in so they can repair the damage done? This book was so good I didn’t want to put it down when I started reading it.

From the very beginning, you know that this book is going to get down into the nitty gritty of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In today’s society, most people know what PTSD is, but very few understand or can comprehend it. We know the definition, the diagnosis, and some of the symptoms that come with PTSD. However, not everyone experiences it and those that do never respond or experience it in the same way as another. I think this novel does a great job of telling a detailed story about how PTSD can play a role in someone’s every day life.

This book takes on a slow pace but does not fail to keep your attention. The way author tells the story of JP and his family is undeniably fascinating and heartwarming. This family is what America would consider the average home. Being able to see behind closed doors, specifically into JP’s mind, is enthralling.

I could talk all day about this book. If you are a psychology lover such as myself, you will want to devour every page of this novel. If you enjoy war fiction, pick it up. If you want a fast paced book, you might want to save this one for a rainy day.

Just because you make it home from the battlefield does not mean the war is over. While this particular solider may be fiction his story is just one example of the horrors and struggles one with PTSD may face. Patchen brings this story to life in a way that makes your heart strings pull, your eyes water, and has your mind struggling to process. In the story, Sgt. JP Grimm has physically returned from war, but in many ways he is still in that desert. Grimm struggles to mentally. He plays what if, if I had done this differently, self loathes, struggles with survivors guilt as well as adapting back to home life. One moment he is home then with one sound, shadow, movement, he is right back in the war. The struggles faced as a result of his PTSD affect more than himself. It influences relationships with family, friends and himself. Self medicating is just one of the ways Grimm attempts to cope. Will he get the help and support he needs? Or just me another example of the glaring lack of support faced?

Hands down this story is worth reading. It is a well thought out, realistic glimpse into just one of the many common contributors to PTSD. The thought provoking story line that puts you through the ringer. Patchen did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. While it did take me a moment to get into the story once I was in, I was in. This book brings more light to the issues many people still face today.

4 Stars

 

No Pistol Tastes the Same by Jacob Paul Patchen is a book that has stayed with me long-after finishing the final page. It is a though-provoking, and at times, confronting story that takes us into the mind of former marine, JP Grimm who suffers from PTSD from a mission-gone-wrong that saw his lose his brothers-in-arms. He grapples with survivors’ guilt and incredible shame- feeling like he’s to blame for not taking aim to prevent the blast that took their lives. Being on home soil again hasn’t eased his struggles, which not only takes a massive toll on him, but also his small family.
The story takes us on a journey with JP as he wrestles with the demons that weigh heavy on his soul. Add to this poignant story danger from an impending disaster- and Mr. Patchen delivers a hard-hitting and gripping read.
Emotive!

Thank you, Jacob Paul Patchen!

I enjoyed reading Nicholas Harvey’s forward introducing us to Nora Sommer. I knew right away I was going to like this chick! The book starts off with action and suspense and has you going all the way through. I especially enjoyed the Florida and Grand Cayman descriptions that added to the intriguing story line. One of Nora’s hobbies to clear her mind, is diving which I thought was so cool since I also like to dive and got to read about the different Caribbean fish she came across on her dives. Nicholas Harvey’s writing was fast paced yet easy going and I look forward to the next book in the Caribbean Suspense Series and may need to go back and read the AJ Bailey Adventures as well!

This is a new author for me. I was not sure how I would react to this story, Being that this is a story about PTSD, it hits close to home. I enjoyed the way Jacob Paul Patchen told this story. The attention to detail was phenomenal. To me, that is what makes this book interesting. I recommend having enough time to read it in one sitting because you will not put it down. His characters are realistic. They are fully developed and personable. Could you take down a child in a suicide vest, especially since it resembles one of your own? Will you become a changed person? Through all the emotions, this book is enjoyable. I highly recommend this book to see that the struggle is real.

This is the first book from this author that I’ve read. I see there is a prequel but I haven’t read it, and thankfully I never felt confused or lost. I loved that this book had a storyline that sucks you in and makes the story come to life (in my mind). I’m an empath so I tend to take on peoples emotions or feelings (even when reading), so when this book had sooo many plot twists and turns I expected to feel queasy. However I felt somewhat excited, full of anticipation, and felt on the edge of my seat. That never happens for me, usually I need to stop reading and take a break! This book was well written and easy to follow. A fast paced – page turner kind of book! Overall really good suspenseful read, strongly recommend!

JP is home from war, but the war continues to live within him. Sgt. JP Grimm lost some of his men in war and he doesn’t know how to forgive himself for not pulling the trigger. A hard-hitting look at PTSD and the horrors of war even after the soldier is home. The first 3/4 of the book was great for developing the characters, showing the horrors of war and PTSD, highlighting the mental health struggles our veterans face. The last part seemed like a completely different story as JP dealt with his changing family through electromagnetic changes. While it served the purpose of redemption and facing fears for JP it didn’t fit the rest of the story.
Overall, it was a great look at PTSD and the harsh reality many military member face upon their return home.

Deadly Sommer (Nora Sommer #1)Deadly Sommer by Nicholas Harvey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deadly Sommer is a book about a young rookie officer who recently joined the force on a small island in the Caribbean. Weeks into her new job, a girl is kidnapped and the young officer finds herself alone, thrust into a game of challenges that she must complete and she has to play by the kidnappers’ rules. As she begins these challenges she realizes it wasn’t by chance that she was the one selected, the kidnapper chose her specifically, and when her losing means the death of the kidnapped girl, failure is not an option.
I really enjoyed this book. It had a good story and was an interesting read. You find out early on who the kidnapper is, so you are left to solve the “why?”. The kidnapper is not asking for money, they have a purpose for taking this girl and for the way they did it. I enjoyed following Nora through these seemingly random challenges and reading her thoughts along the way. I did have to take away one star because this book has a very slow start. I usually appreciate an author painting a picture with words to draw you into the story, but this seemed excessive. There was too much description in some places to the point where it distracts from the story. Fortunately, the story is good enough that I still think it is worth 4 stars.

This is not only a suspenseful story but it is a “game”…..the game of challenges for new policeman Nora as she was chosen to partake in a series of challenges to free a girl whom is kidnapped. Once you start in the story, you really get thrown in to the web of lies and deceit and the kidnapper whom is in the midst of these challenges has an agenda. Will Nora be able to finish each task to save the girl whom was kidnapped? Definitely read and find out! If you like a story that really is hard to put down with suspense, agendas and heart stopping moments this book is for you!! I am looking forward to book 2!!

Full of crime, suspense, mystery and more this story really has everything a reader needs. Having read several books by this author before, I knew that I wanted to read this one as soon as I saw it. Nora out main character is strong and beautiful and really pulls the story together. But I didn’t just love her, the supporting characters on this book really helped pull it all together too. Needless to say I loved this book and I personally can’t wait to get my hands on book two.

While not all of the geography and topical facts were correct, with this novel being as well written as it is the errors can easily be overlooked. From start to finish the reader is hooked. Even without reading other series by this author readers won’t be lost or wondering who the character is! The development is great and the story is interesting from start to finish!

This is a great book for lovers of suspense and thrillers. There was quite a lot of intrigue surrounding the kidnapping that played out well. The only reason I didn’t give it more stars is that it read more like a sequel than the first in a series. There were some backstories referenced that seemed like something that would have happened in a previous book that were not really explained or touched on.

Phenomenal, edge of your seat read. Had me hooked from page one & the initial kidnapping…First time reading author Nicholas Harvey, however it won’t be my last!! Easy 5 stars! Can’t wait for Nora’s next adventure! Will go back & read the prequel, Finding Sommer, as well as the AJ Bailey Adventure Series.

Nora Sommers is settling in as a tough as nails heroine; newly assigned consulate to the Cayman police force, when her & her new partner are swept into a complex plot set in motion by a grieving husband, while on patrol. Full of twists & turns, Nora raises against the clock in order to save the hostage & solve the crime.

Action packed & full of suspense, I found that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!! Thoroughly enjoyed the sprinkle of humor and the tropical island references too! Highly recommend

Deadly Sommer is a book that I would pick up from the bookshelf because the cover looked very intriguing. The read was great, and very suspenseful. I enjoyed it being set in such a beautiful place, and it really sets the mood for the rest of the novel and a complete game of cat and mouse. I would recommend reading this book and would love to read more by this author. The main character, Nora will do whatever it takes to save a young girl. It kept me turning the pages wanting more.

I wish I read the previous books that Nora was in ! Girl you’re a hardcore survivor! All is not as it seems and the past doesn’t always stay hidden , sometimes it comes back to haunt you …..

Nora hasn’t had it easy and I think she thought Cayman Islands was going to be a fresh start for her and it was until a young girl disappears , desperate to save her she has to face and complete challenges …….

A brilliant read that had me on the edge of my seat at times and biting my nails , in between packing my bags to head off to the Cayman islands ( the author really makes you want to go there ) I was a bit of a nervous wreck 😉

Looking forward to more time with Nora ❣️📕

Let me just start this with WHAT A FAST PACED thriller. We are met with Nora, a new Constable in the Cayman Islands. She is thrown into a situation she never dreamed of.

I do wish we had more of Nora’s background and why she was “chosen” for this particular situation. We are told part of her story but not the whole thing. Maybe that will come in the next part of the series.

This story was fast and full of dread and hope. I highly enjoyed everything this had to offer!

I think it was a great introduction book for the character. The storyline keeps you on your toes and makes you want to know what will happen next. The ending was tied up nicely and answered all my questions. I would definitely read this author again!

Nora is a native Norweigian who is living on the Grand Cayman Islands. She is a newly inducted Constable with the local police department. This particular area doesn’t see a lot of crime but Nora is chomping at the bit to do “something fun”. Little does she know that her life is about to change!
Entering a house that had a sign that lured Nora and her partner, Nora finds herself in a dangerous mind game with a girl’s life at stake. Can she maneuver through these grueling tasks that this insane kidnapper is demanding, while knowing that he’s livestreaming every step she takes?
This is a new-to-me author but not much longer! There are other stories that give a little bit more of Nora’s back story but I don’t feel like I missed a lot by not reading them prior. The author gives enough background to grasp the gist of her story. I do look forward to going back and reading other books that contain her character to see how she progresses. This book did not disappoint and kept me on the edge of my seat!

The author penned an amazing account of the very real disease of PTSD. You are on the edge of your seat from the very beginning of the book, and in pain from JP’s pain. The author takes us through what it means to have suffered so much incredible guilt and shame, and how it eats away at you. JP moves throughout the book experiencing tremendous anguish through extreme nightmares, terrible daymares triggered by distant sounds, and even becomes dangerous to his small family! It is so terrifying to witness this much of the tragedy after such a short time away. As I turned each page I was hoping and praying for JP to get the help he needs and for him to make it past the danger of suicide. This book to my breath away with every chapter, and it will take yours away too.

Deadly Sommer (Nora Sommer Caribbean Suspense Book 1) by Nicholas Harvey – Review by Maryn Belling

Deadly Sommer is the first book in the Nora Sommer Caribbean Suspense series by Nicholas Harvey. If you’ve been waiting to meet a new female main-character built of tenacity, grit, gumption, sass, and resourcefulness (and a past) Nora Sommer is who you’ve been seeking!
Deft storyline creation with compartmentalization that ring of Tom Clancy or Shakespeare, Nicholas Harvey brings us into the world of the Caribbean. Whether it’s your first visit or you’re a seasoned traveler, details bring the water, land, and people to life with familiarity and uniqueness.

Appealing to natives & transplants, Nora’s thinking brings us all together: “Home can be about familiarity, where you were born, or where you spent the most time, but ultimately it came down to people.” Her youth belies wisdom & experience.

Added bonus: Norwegian swear words!
