Guardian Ranger (Shadow Agents)

by Cynthia Eden

This was fantastic. Much better than the first book in the series. The mystery is interesting and the team dynamics come into play a lot more in this book - it was kind of lacking in the first one. Plus I liked Jasper and Veronica much more than I did Logan and Juliana. Veronica was a total badass. She was cracking computer passwords, hot wiring cars and shooting people like a pro. Okay just one person but it was awesome. Her takedown of the bad guy at the end was epic. I'm not sure if I like that she shot him or totally engineered the situation to steal his gun better.

The romance between her and Jasper was easy, with a fairly low amount of angst. I had no real issues with Jasper, he was a pretty straight forward character. I loved Cale (Veronica's brother). I can't wait to read more about him.

The investigation was interesting and I liked the way the evidence unfolded. The ending was good, I liked the twists and turns they uncovered. Well written romantic suspense read, 4 stars.
