The Spotted Owl:

A Derek Riley Novel

Derek Riley spent nearly his entire life in the service, most of that time in special operations. He was the tip of the spear in one of the most clandestine teams in the government. Things are about to change. Now, nearing the end of his career, a corrupt government agent named Smith has ordered Derek to assassinate a struggling anthropologist before she discovers the truth behind a global conspiracy.

 

Susan Parker has been humiliated by the media and abandoned by her university, but she remains steadfast in her beliefs. That is when she finds herself caught between trusting a man she has only just met and forces beyond her control. The Spotted Owl: A Derek Riley Novel follows Derek and Susan as they go on the run after being framed for murders they did not commit. Where once he was surrounded by equally trained and lethal men, Derek's only backup is Susan until the couple turns to Derek's past for help. To defeat an ever-widening government conspiracy, they work to clear their names, save their lives, and protect innocent victims once thought to be only myth.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A wonderfully well-woven story with twists and turns that you aren’t expecting. The author has well developed characters whom you love…and some you hate. But each one you come to know well.
The plot is intriguing. If you love cliff hangers and mystery, this is for you, but hard to put down. I look forward to the next book from this author.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the best books I’ve read. From the prolog the author keeps your interest, giving you just enough information about certain places to make you question could they be real? The author is able to paint pictures in your mind with his descriptions that you can actually picture yourself in the moment with the characters as if watching a movie. The ending leaves you wanting more! There has to be a sequel to this book if not even a series. You will not be disappointed .

End Game:

A Derek Riley Novel

Book cover for End Game by Kyle Hiller

A year earlier, Derek Riley, a former special operations Marine, had been working for the Department of Energy. His unique job assignment had him crossing paths with Doctor Susan Parker, an established professor of anthropology for Washington State University. His life was turned upside down when a sadistic government agent gave him an order he could not fulfill. Framed for murder, their lives became thrust together when this unlikely couple were forced to go on the run. Not only was every federal and state law enforcement agency looking for them, but they were also being hunted by a secret group of government assassins.

Having gone into hiding, Derek and Susan nearly disappeared. That is, when one mistake caught up with them. Now, faced with a choice between a lifetime in prison, or working for the same people who had them framed, they have few alternatives. To secure their freedoms, and prevent a world-wide catastrophe, they must risk everything, including each other.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Read book one and pre-ordered book two as soon as I could. Another great read, with characters you could love and characters you could hate. My daughter has been waiting for me to finish so we can compare notes. She is really excited. Enjoyed the real world tactics and terminology. Can't wait for Sasuatches vs Aliens or whatever Kyle comes up with next.

The second book by Kyle Hiller, featuring Derek Riley. Kyle’s ability to weave actual historical fact in amongst an exciting novel is second to none. It is fast paced and action packed. Many fascinating characters…both good and evil… show themselves thru his work. It ends with me wanting more. A new favorite author. I highly recommend this book.

I read the second book with high expectations, based off my liking of the first book in his series. The second book, End Game did not disappoint! Lots of plot twists and how he manages to tie it all together, and make sense is impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series, and End Game was even better. Looking forward to the third book when it comes out.
