Enjoyable read

Dawn of the Storm (Raina Storm Action Thriller #1), my first read from author Kim Cresswell. Well-written thriller with captivating, well-developed main characters, I’ll be reading more by this author and look forward to reading Dawn of the Enemy, book 2 in the series! Narrator Sarah L. Colton adds greatly to the listening enjoyment with a wide variety of entertaining voices & inflections. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it.

Dawn of the Storm

Raina is a deadly assassin/operative. She is always in hiding because of past cases and the danger to her life. A team is sent in to get her to help out against a jihadist group. One that she actually angered. This was a fun fast paced action thriller. The narration was nice and easy to listen to.

Good Book!

The story line was very interesting. I enjoyed the book. The narrator done a great job telling the story.

Action-packed from the first to the last word.....

Dawn of the Storm is hopefully the first in a new series by Kim Creswell. In this book, Hal and Angela, covert, freelance agents, recruit/blackmail former CIA assassin, Raina Storm, to help them stop the detonation of a dirty bomb. The book starts out with an Al Qaeda sleeper agent blowing up a nuclear power plant, and the organization for which Hal and Angela work assigns them the task of preventing the delivery of a nuclear bomb through Columbia, the second planned attack of the Al Qaeda terrorists. As a former CIA assassin, Raina Storm has extensive contacts in Columbia, and her skills and contacts prove invaluable to Hal and Angela. Although truly action-packed from almost the first to the last word, this story also gives the reader some background on the three main characters and sets the groundwork for future collaborations between them. I hope to see additional stories in this series soon.

Sarah L Colton does a terrific job with the narration. She differentiates well between the characters, and her accent for the Columbia natives is excellent. She uses just the right amount of emotion to increase the suspense without sounding over-the-top. I would definitely listen to another audiobook narrated by Colton is the future.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request in exchange for this honest review.

Dawn of the Storm

Very fast paced audio book. Acton filled and doesn't disappoint. Lot of information bit not packed to the rafters where it can't be taken in. I totally enjoyed listening.
