Theo’s Retaliation
Theo’s mind has been clouded from the moment he failed to keep his promise to set Fiona Petit free. His job of infiltrating a crime ring and becoming one of them has turned Theo’s once-happy demeanor dark. Now he has one purpose, and one purpose only…to find Fiona. If she’s still alive.
Rebel builds the Gunners with new team members and gains intel on another organization whose crimes resemble those committed by geNetics. This time, it’s almost right outside his own back door. The Gunner team will go into battle against a familiar force that leaves none of them unscathed.
Will it lead Rebel to help Theo find Fiona, or will it dig Theo’s grave deeper? Will Rebel die trying to save them all, or will he lose Fallon in the process?
Will Theo get his retaliation?
My Review:
Once again, I finish the book feeling somewhat conflicted. I loved the story and the characters. The action and intrigue kept me glued to the pages, desperate to know what would happen next. But I’m highly frustrated that after the main story of this book finished, once I was basking in the happy glow of their mission accomplished, it started a whole new book. One that then abandons us at the top of a really steep cliff. And that drove me batty. I pretty regularly read books that end on cliff hangers and accept them as part and parcel of reading books that are part of a series, but there’s nothing organic about the choice of where this book stops. And I still wasn’t a fan of the format with the lead-in novellas before we get to the meat of the book. Overall, I adored the story – full honors. It’s just the story’s insertion point and exfil that left me cold. I read a borrowed copy of this book.
