Loved this as an audio book! Super fun to hear the character voices and relationships build. Twist and turns I wasn’t expecting and really enjoyed It!

Zach has spent the last four years dealing with the trauma and responsibility of deciding whether his ex-wife, Rebecca, should be taken off life support. His former in-laws have strong feelings that she should be kept alive, so Zach has abided by their wishes, but now, the man responsible for the attack that left Rebecca in a vegetative state, is being released from jail and the only thing that will put him back in prison is Rebecca's death. When Zach is first visited by a prosecutor named Kate Lennon urging him to make use of his rights where Rebecca is concerned, he balks at the idea of stepping back into a situation that ruined his pro football career and forced him into seclusion. However, Kate is very persuasive and Zach finds himself incredibly attracted to her.

Overkill addresses the controversial topic of how medical means to prolong a person's life is handled by family and friends. The rest of the book is fairly devoid of action, suspense, or romance. The relationship between Zach and Kate seems very insta-love and borders on inappropriate as Rebecca's life hangs in the balance. We already know who is the culprit behind Rebecca's attack, so there is little mystery left to be figured out by the reader. Also, several characters are left underdeveloped, especially the three men involved in what happened to Rebecca, and the only thing we really know about her is that she was a promiscuous gold digger and heavy substance abuser, leaving her as an unsympathetic victim. Overall, Overkill's only redeeming quality is the fact that it brings to light serious subject matters but otherwise doesn't offer much enjoyment for the reader.
