This is the first book of the BAD series that I have read
and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I had heard mixed reviews about the book,
but I wasn't going to let that stop me from reading another one of Sherrilyn
Kenyon’s works. I’m glad I read it and I will most likely begin reading author
Dianna Love’s work soon after this. It really is a book I will add to my shelf
of favorites. Now getting into the story…
You’re leading character is Special Forces member Nathan
Drake who is quickly represented as a strong, self-sacrificing, and revenge seeking man after the death of his brother who sought out Nathan’s help in the
beginning of the book for being tangled in the wrong crowd. Nathan later runs
into Terri Mitchell, a new, gusty, female agent working for the Bureau of
American Defense (BAD), who is working to bust an organized crime ring
suspected of funding terrorism. The two of them end up crossing paths when the
people Nathan is looking for are tied into Terri’s case.
Throughout the story--and many untrusting moments between
both Terri and Nathan--they find themselves having to work together to not only
survive, but to keep a threat from being unleashed on thousands of innocent
people.
Without giving too much more information away I must say
that it took me a little bit too really get into the story, but once chapter
two was at my fingertips there was no shutting the book and walking away. The plot
is thoroughly thought out with interestingly, well-rounded characters I would
want to have conversations with. And a couple of characters I wouldn’t want to
run into in a dark alley. I’m also glad to see that they mixed loads of action
with the right amount of romantic flare. There were a few moments when the
story was a bit much on the details, but you could keep up easily enough. Most
of the time when I struggled to get the information clear in my head was
because it was way past my bedtime!
The story does shift between POVs, which could be
frustrating at times when you’re really into a character and you have to jump
to someone else, but it’s not so bad as to take away from the book.
