Welcome to the wild, wild world of S.W. Frank's A.D. (Alfonzo Series Book 30), where we're apparently 30 books deep into a saga that probably makes Game of Thrones look like a picture book. You'd think by now, we'd have figured out what's going on, but surprise! You're still going to need a flowchart and perhaps a caffeinated beverage to keep track of all the drama.
Now, if you thought your family dinners were complicated, wait until we meet Alfonzo and his crew. A.D. is that dinner table where every uncle has a secret, and every cousin is embroiled in some sort of high-stakes, life-altering decision. Who knew espionage and family ties could go hand in hand? One moment, they're debating who brings the casserole, and the next, they're neck deep in international intrigue.
This installment continues the escapades of Alfonzo-who, let's be honest, is starting to sound more and more like a soap opera character with each passing book. He's dodging threats, spilling secrets, and somehow managing to keep his hair perfectly coiffed amid all the chaos. It's like he stepped straight out of an action movie and straight into a family reunion gone wrong.
Set against a backdrop more explosive than a toddler with candy and a sugar rush, the narrative doesn't hesitate to keep things moving at a breakneck speed. Expect plot twists that come more frequently than a New Yorker's subway delays. Spoiler alert: Just when you think you've got it figured out, bam! Someone's hiding a key piece of information or there's a betrayal that had you saying, "Wait, what??"
Characters are introduced at a rate that would make your head spin-just when you think you've got a handle on who's who, new players step into the scene with backstories that are likely longer than your last text message. This is the kind of book where if a character says, "Trust me," it's essentially a red flag waved in front of a bull. Spoiler: they probably can't be trusted.
Themes of loyalty, deception, and maybe even a hint of redemption peek through the chaos, but do they really matter when the next explosion is scheduled around page 50? It's like asking if there's real substance to a reality TV show; you just enjoy the ride, don't you?
On the technical side, the writing is punchy with a style that feels like it's perpetually stuck in "watch me" mode. The pacing is relentless, so if you go in expecting an easy Sunday read, think again! You'll need to put on your best detective hat to keep track of the myriad threads crisscrossing throughout the plot.
In conclusion, A.D. is not for the faint of heart or those who can't handle high-octane family drama. If you're ready to dive into a world of chaos, conspiracies, and characters who are one bad decision away from total meltdown, then grab this book and settle in. Just remember: family is everything, except when it's about saving your own skin.
