Critical Alliance by Elizabeth GoddardMy rating: 💛💛💛
Rating 3.5
Though there was a lot of action at crucial points, this book was not as suspenseful as expected or more to my preferences for suspense. I think a lot had to do with all the cybersecurity explanations which was needed, but it made the book slow and a bit boring.
I did not expect who the cyber criminal was - so I was glad to be surprised there, but the ending felt a bit resolved too quickly.
The plot about the vandalized memorial wrapped up in this book. I wanted and expected a more mysterious suspenseful plot here as well, and again this plot’s conclusion felt a slightly bit rushed.
I did enjoy the book and will read more from this author.
