A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Raptor 6 (The Quiet Professionals #1) - Ronie Kendig

In the past, I have been able to read Dead Reckoning and two of the books in the A Breed Apart series: Trinity and Beowulf, all great books by this author.  When I had the chance to read this book, I didn’t hesitate.

Dean is the leader of Raptor Team and has endured a great deal.  Zahrah is the daughter of a powerful retired General in the United States and has come to Afghanistan to teach children.  When her particular skill set puts her life in danger, Dean takes it upon himself to try and keep her safe.

Someone has gotten a hold of a military computer and needs Zahrah’s exceptional skills to unlock it and decode sensitive information.  Getting a hold of her isn’t terribly hard when Dean is sent on a wild goose chase, but when Dean ends up captured as well, will Zahrah buckle under the stress and give the captors what they want?

This book was great.  It has action from beginning to end, and when the man behind the entire thing escapes, we have a great lead-in to the next book.  Hawk is the next book in the series and is scheduled to come out fall 2014.  That leaves Falcon scheduled to come out spring 2015.  These characters are in Raptor 6, and with the evil villain story line not resolved, I can’t comment on whether these would be okay to read alone.  Reading the torture was hard, but you can tell that the author does her research and the excellent writing makes the book hard to put down.  I’ll be on the lookout for the next one in this series for sure!  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
