or maybe he&#8217;s just paranoid.\u00a0 Then he&#8217;s immediately offered another job (violating the rule to never work back to back hits).\u00a0 Walsh is sure something&#8217;s not right,\u00a0 but he needs the money so&#8230;\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was a simple hit until someone unexpected showed up.\u00a0 Now Walsh is on the run with the knowledge that he and his brother are marked for death.\u00a0 Unsure of who he can trust, Walsh must figure out why things went south and who he needs to kill to fix them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Angel Luis Col\u00f3n has created an interesting character in Bryan Walsh.\u00a0 He&#8217;s far from the genre hitman.\u00a0 I liked the supernatural aspect of Walsh interacting with the ghosts of those he&#8217;s killed.\u00a0 Was it his mind playing tricks?\u00a0 Walsh has an interesting backstory and we see how his decisions led to his current situation (just as he blamed his targets for their decisions putting them in his path).\u00a0 This was my first book by Angel Luis Col\u00f3n, but it won&#8217;t be my last.<\/p>\n<p><u>Hell<\/u> <u>Chose<\/u> <u>Me<\/u> rates 4 of 5 stars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_b.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\" \/><br \/><u>Hell<\/u> <u>Chose<\/u> <u>Me<\/u> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Pn3B9o\">Trade Paperback<\/a><br \/><u>Hell<\/u> <u>Chose<\/u> <u>Me<\/u> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3M5hvLh\">Kindle<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hell Chose Me by Angel Luis Col\u00f3n 240 pagesPublisher: \u200e Down &amp;
