Book Spotlight Fridays! Willow

 

Book Beginnings and Friday56

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader and share a non-spoiler sentence or two.

I fell in love with the Metcalfes in Ronie Kendig's prior series and am enjoying getting to know the siblings.

Today (April 22nd) is release day, so if you haven't ordered your copy yet -you can do it here:

Willow

About the book:

To save her, he must become the evil he fights.

Aftercare specialist Willow Metcalfe joined Mission: Liberate Everyone to help trafficking survivors navigate the healing process. When MiLE’s Obioma Compound is attacked by the Nigerian mafia, she’s taken hostage. Against nightmarish odds, she and the victims attempt an escape—and are thwarted.

A decade after leaving his beloved homeland, Chijioke “Chiji” Okorie returns to find his sister and fight for his own country. Believing a global trafficking ring behind her abduction and a string of kidnappings across Nigeria, he goes undercover to find the head of the serpent and his sister. Chiji is stunned to discover among the hostages a familiar face—a friend’s sister, Willow. The woman he vowed years ago to marry.

The man who has interfered with her escape attempts seems … familiar, kind—but Willow knows better. He reeks of the warrior ethos that has devoured many a good man. Engaged in an impossible battle and losing at every turn, Chiji is determined to complete his missions—all of them. Even if it kills him.

Book Beginnings

"Think hard because I've seen ops like this destroy the best of men."

Friday 56

Cord tucked his arms under his armpits.  "I'll call Canyon.  Update him.  See if they can't pull some strings to get us some unofficial satellite traces on the movement of that cell."  

"Then I suggest you put on a containment suit because he's going to go nuclear."

My thoughts so far

This was not an easy read but one worth reading.  I always love how this author breaks up the darkness with some lighthearted banter between the characters.
