Overall score:

I scored this book 5/5

Short Summary of the book:

With the prototype weapon in the hands of Sirius Dynamics, everything appears to be back to normal. Aidan suffers from nightmares following the plane crash and the relationship with John Kane has turned awkward. When their boss Charles Stemp goes missing with the prototype and he is suspected of being a traitor, only Aidan seems to believe in him and tries to find out the truth. Another action-packed book worth reading.

What I liked about the book:

I loved this book as much as I did the first seven. As in the other books there are many twists and turns mixed with humour and I just love the sassy Aidan Kelly.

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:

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.
