Worth the wait!
If you’ve been reading these interconnected books (Immortal Ops, PSI-Ops, Immortal Outcasts, Shadow Agents, Crimson Ops) by Mandy Roth, you will recognize Striker (Dougal McCracken) from previous books. His character has grown with each appearance, and I, for one, have been waiting to hear his story. A big Scotsman, who would be called a player in today’s world, he has lived hundreds of years. Nothing has bothered him until about 5 years ago. He met 2 women in a hotel in Egypt. He helped save one, but the other has been lost. Striker has tried to move on and forget that he was unable to save her. And this is where his story starts.
Well written, with fully developed characters, Mandy M. Roth has done an outstanding job of giving us Striker’s story. Characters from the other books in this series make appearances, but they add to the story, not just fill space. If you are a new to Mandy Roth reader, this is a terrific book, but you really need to know the backstory that encompasses the entire series. Either start with book 1 in the PSI-OPS series Act of Mercy, or book 1 of the entire series from Immortal Ops entitled Immortal Ops. All are easy to read and entertaining. And you’ll join the rest of us, waiting for the next book in this Paranormal world.
I was given an ARC of this book by the author through Booksprout, and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
