Linear Tactical Book 6
Dragging an innocent into his war was never a part of the plan.
Heath Kavanaugh lost years of his life working for a covert agency that ended up being the enemy. Knowing they put something inside his head--constant, incomprehensible whispers--is driving him crazy.
He needs answers, but they're nowhere to be found.
What he definitely doesn't need is to fall hard for his Linear teammate's younger sister, Jacquelyn--the adorable linguistics doctoral student who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Especially when Heath's attention puts her directly in the path of a danger he thought was gone for good. To stop it, they'll have to figure out what's in his head. And hope it doesn't destroy them all.
My Review:
Holy wow. This book led me though more twists, turns, double-crosses, and red herrings than I knew would fit in a single book. Much like Ghost’s story, my highly suspicious nature kicked in and I suspected everybody. Turns out, I wasn’t quite wrong – I wasn’t quite right either. Heath has flown under my radar in this series. I wasn’t paying any kind of attention to him until the previous book, and obviously I was missing out. This man is the same kind of alpha protector, with the same kind of noble heart as the rest of the Linear Tactical crew. The biggest difference is that Shadow doesn’t trust everything in his own mind after learning the truth about Project Crypt. Enter Lyn; a woman with a similar facility for languages as Heath, who (initially unknown to him) also just happens to be his best friend and teammate's little sister. Their chemistry burns up the page while also being sometimes comical. I loved that Lyn’s fighting spirit shows us that physical limitations don’t always have to restrict us as she worked to carve a life out that wasn’t confined by her heart condition. And that was the sweetest, silliest, most adorable ending. It left me all the warm fuzzies while I wait for the next book in the series. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
