Review
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this one. It had a kick ass female character and a lot of action. However, I felt like it needed more explanation as there was a lot of the story that felt rushed over. I had to draw some of my own conclusions and it would have been rated higher had there been less of that.
I also wasn't a fan of the switching between first person with Eliana and third person with the MI-6 squad. I thought it made it a bit hard to follow and I wasn't sure who the other "main" character of the bunch was. I thought maybe it would be Waterstone but I think it is supposed to be Blackwell. I'm not sure.
I did love Eliana though. I wanted so much more about her and from her. Like where did she get some of her information from? Why does she not have a last name? She was such an interesting character, I really enjoyed reading through her voice. She was witty and badass and someone to admire.
The rest of the characters meshed together for me. I do hope the next in the serial has a bit more explanation about them and their personalities.
Overall: 3.5/5 mostly because it was very short. I feel like there were some things and scenes that could have been better developed.
About The Author:
Jane D
Everly was born in Nottingham, England where she developed a depthless love of
fiction. While aspiring to be a romance novelist, she discovered an edge to her
work that was quite unexpected. It appeared that her love of action and
adventure stories would forever prevent her from writing the stories of sappy
romantic entanglements she believed she had always been meant to write. Instead,
heavily influenced by the rise of geek culture, she began to write stories
filled with kick-ass heroines and villains with delusions of attaining world
domination.
Jane
relocated to Vancouver, BC, Canada in 2013 to pursue her writing career. She
now lives in a beautiful downtown Vancouver apartment with her cat, Mr
Bojangles, and an entire world of espionage and intrigue poised at her
fingertips.
