Under Fire by Lynn H. BlackburnMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Since the first book, there was this chemistry between Zane and Tessa and readers had to wait until the final book in the series to see what is keeping them apart.
This book had emotional depth due to the subject matter of alcoholism and the effects on those dealing with the disease and especially those with loved ones which struggles with this addiction. I felt that the author tackled this subject with the hard facts but also sensitivity.
The suspense kept my attention, but I did wonder about the plausibility of it and the ending was a bit mellow for all the hype in the beginning.
There was a few loose ends, like -what is the reason that Bruce lives on the street – there was the expectation of more coming for this reader.
This was a great conclusion to the series. I loved the characters from the Dive Team Investigation series playing roles in this one and hope these secret service agents will pop up in future series as well.

I'm glad this was a suitable solution to the series
ReplyDeleteYes, series always has the risk of starting great but then disappoint.
