Never Saw It Coming is a fast-paced, action-packed book that I devoured in one sitting. It suggests a bright future for both the author and the series - I am already excited about the next instalment in the series.  The biggest compliment I can give the author is that I do not usually read books in this genre - yet I thoroughly enjoyed the book.Mike Jordan utilises cinematic storytelling devices to great effect - the action sequences are energetic, the dialogue is hard-hitting and the prose entertaining. The dialogue is the book's strongest feature - it never wastes a word yet it propels the story and character development with rapidity and precision.The ending will infuriate some readers while delighting others. For those who fall in the former category, I would say that if you were thoroughly entertained by the majority of the book; trust the author, I suspect much of the story is yet to come and the scene will make a lot more sense once all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place.
