Overall score:

I scored this book 5/5

Short Summary of the book:

While she still poses as an arm dealer, Aidan learns of the threat of a terror attack at Remembrance Day Services. Services her friend Arnie and his elderly neighbour Miss Lacey attend every year. How can she prevent them falling victim to the threatened terror attack? Especially, since neither is willing to not go to the service.

What I liked about the book:

I loved this book as much as I did the first eleven. Aidan seems to get another impossible task. However, fate interferes and Aidan once again ends on top.

What I didn’t like about the book:

There is nothing in the book I didn’t like.

My favourite bits in the book:

Too many to count, I loved the book.

My least favourite bits in the book:

There were no least favourite bits. The book makes you want to read on and not stop after the next.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

That is the good news, there are 14 more in the series already and I can’t wait for no. 15.

What books could this be compared to and why?

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children
No
Young Adult
Yes
Adult
Yes

If you like a tongue-in-cheek spy mystery this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

…If a kickass middle-aged bookkeeper got sucked into a spy’s life…

Reluctant secret agent Aydan Kelly is posing as an arms dealer when her gangland buyer is implicated in a deadly plot to attack Remembrance Day services.

Partnered with an agent she can’t trust, Aydan races against time to stop the terrorists; but her partner’s volatile temper might blow the whole op… if it doesn’t kill her first. And when she discovers that her lover is embroiled in the case, Aydan must decide: Will she sacrifice him to save hundreds of innocent lives?

Contains coarse language, moderate violence, and sexuality. The story can stand alone but will be more enjoyable if read in order.

If Janet Evanovich’s quirky humour met Robert Ludlum’s taut thrillers, the Never Say Spy series would be their love child: racy, fun, and action-packed!

About the Author:

By profession, I’m a technical writer, computer geek, and ex-interior designer. I’m good at two out of three of these things. I had the sense to quit the one I sucked at.

To deal with my mid-life crisis, I also write adventure novels featuring a middle-aged female protagonist, Aydan Kelly. And I kickbox.

This seemed more productive than indulging in more typical mid-life crisis activities like getting a divorce, buying a Harley Crossbones, and cruising across the country picking up men in sleazy bars. Especially since it’s winter most of the months of the year here.

It’s much more comfortable to sit at my computer. And hell, Harleys are expensive. Come to think of it, so are beer and gasoline.

Oh, and I still love my husband. There’s that. I’ll stick with the writing.
