Welcome to my stop on Escapist Book Tour's tour (sorry for the redundancy LOL) for Credible Threats! I hope you're ready for this one, because I...was not. LOL! Keep reading for my review and more!
Credible Threats is the first book in Daniel Meyer's Sam Adam's series. This book is going to snack you up before you can even get comfortable. So make sure you're sitting, comfortable, and cool with not moving for a while. Because once you start this book...there is no pausing, no taking a break...none of that. It's sit still, devour this book to the last page, and wonder when the next one will be available. Trust me, I'd seen other review teases for this book and I was skeptical until it was my turn to dive in.
Credible Threats starts off with a bang. Okay, not really a bang "bang" but it starts off with a calm atmosphere, and then the next thing you know you're getting thrown into the chaos along with the main character, Sam. What he thinks is just a poltergeist situation turns out to be soooooo much more. The signs are there so you'll piece the puzzle together before he does, but boy do things get wild! And that's just the FIRST chapter! Just imagine what the rest of the book will be like!
Well, just to give you a few clues - there's tons of drama (which makes this book a page-turner), a talking cat (cue squeals of delight from meeee LOL), and a storyline that keeps you glued to your seat. Sounds pretty enticing right? Yeah! Thought so!
Something strange is going on in town and it appears that it's up to Sam to figure out exactly what. It seems that it all leads back to a new drug being all the rage on the streets. But what the drug is doing is something bigger than what one would have thought or expected.
You're going to love the range of this book. It keeps one foot in the "real" world and then has the other in the "spirit" realm. Talk about fantastic dynamics. It takes Sam across it all as he's in a fight and race against time to piece the puzzle together and figure out how to protect the people of the town and those he truly cares about (even when they get on his nerves. LOL)
This book is one heck of a thrill ride and sure to keep you page-turning from beginning to end with tons of fantasy elements and magic to satisfy most readers who choose to dive in.
You just know that Sam is going to have some seriously epic adventures as things continue to move forward. Being a teenage wizard is going to be a lot of fun...and work...for him. LOL!
5 out of 5 stars

Blurb:
Sam Adams,
sixteen-year-old wizard, has zero interest in saving the world—but
staying out of the line of fire isn’t an option for wizards.
When a new
designer drug hits the streets, giving ordinary humans magical powers
and leaving a trail of bodies in its wake, it threatens to turn his
city of Williamsport’s long-simmering conflict between the haves
and the have-nots into a full-scale war.
The only one with
the skills to protect the city, Sam finds himself thrust into a
conspiracy far darker and more dangerous than he ever imagined, with
tentacles stretching into the criminal underworld and the wealthy
elite—and into the spirit world. Fighting for his life, surrounded
by enemies, Sam has to dig deeper than ever before to keep
Williamsport from going up in flames.
But even magic
has its limits.
