My Review:
Last Chance by Lindsay McKenna is a fast paced, great introduction to what looks like will be an action packed, thrilling new series.
Former military, Lia lost all of her self confidence after a horrific attack by two soldiers. In the aftermath of the attack, she lacked emotional support and felt shunned. Working in Costa Rica was just what she needed...until the terror began.
Lindsay writes Lia's character well, and I really cared for and felt for her. She has been through so much, she just deserves goodness! Lindsay's descriptivism and the emotions she portrays through her writing make Lia a very believable heroine. I felt this introduction to Lia was well done...I got to know her, and while I didn't feel like I was left hanging, I am eagerly anticipating what the future holds in store for her, and I find myself hoping she finds a way to heal.
I like reading Lindsay's books because she doesn't sugar coat anything, she writes it as it is and how it's happening in the plot. At times very explicitly so, but it is relevant and necessary to the plot. That is how it is when a drug lord's minions appear in Last Chance. This was a chilling, edge of your seat part of the plot!
Last Chance is a quick read that's easy to follow and fall into!
4/5 stars
