Reviews

I loved the first book and I think I liked this one slightly less in some ways. PT annoyed me in a lot of ways - his lack of loyalty. I understood it, but I also hated it. Henderson also grated on my nerves. He seemed to become more and more childish and immature. To be honest, he seems really young and I guess due to my own advancing age - particularly young. His relationship with Maxine annoyed me on many levels - one of which was you know, his wife? On the other hand, I grew to love Marc, Paul and Rosie even more. Each had strengths that developed further in this book and it was nice to see them take on greater responsibility for their 'mission'. I particularly liked how being a woman or being tiny or young didn't affect their ability to kick ass. All of them take on stronger opponents and outwit them to achieve victory. Another favourite who doesn't really get a lot of screen time was McAfferty. But the scenes with her were wicked. I loved how she handled herself and the way her superiors recognised her worth. I hope to see more of her in future books.
