Kill Switch by Chris Lynch

Synopsis:

Some things are best left forgotten. A gripping account of espionage and loyalty from National Book Award Finalist Chris Lynch.

All Daniel wants to do is spend one last summer with his grandfather before he moves away for college and his grandfather’s dementia pulls them apart. But when his dear old Da starts to let things slip about the job he used to hold—people he’s killed, countries he’s overthrown—old work “friends” show up to make sure he stays quiet. Was his grandfather really involved in a world of assassinations and coups, or are the stories just delusions of a crumbling mind? On the run from the police (and possibly something worse) before he has time to find out, Daniel may have to sacrifice everything to protect his grandfather from those who would do him harm

My Rating
-2.5/5-

Interesting book that keeps you wondering what is up with Daniel and his family. Daniel seems to care about his family a lot especially his grandfather who Daniel proves he will do anything for him.
You have some really interesting characters between Da, Daniel and even Daniel's cousin Jarrod. Jarrod a useless character more or less but helps out. Daniel, the one who cares and doesn't know what he is actually capable of tell something happens. Then Da crazy old man!
Also you have a really good story as Daniel tries to get his Da someone where safe where he will be left alone and left in peace. 
I have to say though this book was just lacking a lot of something, I think interested and excitement it would have been so much better with a little more excitement or action or something, it was lacking in my mind.
Overall it wasn't to bad of a book though.
