Will watch for the next one.

Very good plot and excellent narrative. Ended too soon. When is the next one coming? Great job to the author and narrator.

Best one

BB book 4 was the best and we can’t wait until the next one comes out!!

Twists and tension

Loved the progression of the relationship, the turns of the story, and another unexpected ending!

Clive Cussler

Style is very similar to Clive Cussler.
I like the main character. He could be Dirk Pitt.
Scott Brick is best reader around.

Ok

I do like the suspense of the story but it seems like they are all the same.

Great read!

I really love reading these books the stories fantastic the characters are great they’re just a lot of fun!

Great book

Really enjoyed the series up to this point. Can’t wait to read the next one!

Strong Start

The book had a strong start and I thought it would be a solid 4 stars but it went off course in the Zurich bank. Haeli's logic in dealing with Sokolov at the bank was irrational. No way would he just let her walk out without checking what was in the case. Also, for someone who is supposed to have a moral compass, Blake threw his beliefs aside in Zurich. For a short moment he sounded appalled at what Haeli had done and appeared to be rethinking his future relationship with her. Then not much later he sounds like a love sick puppy willing to take the fall for something he didn't do to save her from her own bad actions. Her actions (both with her team and with Blake) would not warrant him trusting her again regardless of her motive (which was not very believable).

I also agree with other reviewers who found the switching timeline awkward. The story would switch between 2 years ago, then present day, then back 1 week ago, then back 2 years ago then present day. It ended up smoothing out to a present day story but I'm not fan of erratic timeline changes.

Last, I found the ending to be somewhat weak, but it was obviously done to set up the next book. Overall, I'd say this was 3.5 stars. I rounded up because the first 3/4 of the book was fast paced and a page turner.

Review

Hard to follow because of the foreign names and the frequent timelines. I finally gave up.

!! Spoilers Here!!

I’m sorry, but I just had a hard time with the level of immorality and deceitful actions of Hailey in the book. Maybe the author was making a statement about the ambiguity of life but call me idealistic. I just like my fiction heroes to stand firmly on the moral high ground. Silly I know….

Her theft led directly to the killing of her whole team and then she lied repeatedly to the love of her life in critical situations. Hard for me to stomach!
