This is not an awesome book. It is a frustrating book. There is an awesome book in there, or
possibly two awesome books, but this edition doesn’t quite hit the mark.
The story of FBI Agent Sierra Lancaster and her
interactions with the people around her is potentially gripping with plenty of
twists and turns. There are old flames,
FBI agents, partners, sort-of-estranged relatives, shoot-outs, deals, busts and
a whole swathe of difficult and challenging interactions. I am a sucker for complex interactions and
intricate layers of relationships and this is almost awesome. I found myself muttering as I read because it
isn’t quite there, and it could be. I
would almost be enjoying a sudden
revelation, but the foreshadowing hadn’t quite hit the mark. I would be almost caught up in a character’s development, but it wasn’t quite
consistent. I would be almost hooked on the story but some of
the details didn’t strike true. I
finished this book wanting to kick something because I read a nearly good book.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending this
book. If a second edition comes out,
however, I recommend grabbing it with both hands. I sort of hope that Ms Tyree makes two separate
stories out of it, because there are at least two separately awesome books in
there. I shall definitely be watching
out for further work from her, as there are some great stories in there and I
want to read the awesome ones.
