Customer Reviews
Action-packed
This is a gripping, action-packed, mystery-filled read, laced with deceit and betrayal that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat.
I love a good suspense-read, who doesn’t? There’s a strong female lead who’s climbed her way to the near-top, and the reader is shown a little background that gets across how well she deserves to be where she is.
There are terrorists with a long-underway plan about to come to fruition and human lives plus American life as we know it all at risk…
Twists and turns are also fairly abundant and while I did predict all of them, they still were extremely fun to experience. I missed this book whenever I put it down and I still miss it, now that it’s been finished for a couple weeks.
I cannot wait to see what else is in store for Bendel, I expect things will not calm down any time soon. There were some strong secondary things as well.
It’s mostly well-edited and there were only a couple little things I’d do differently—things that didn’t distract from / or negatively impact the reading experience.
Overall:
4 stars
