This is the second book in the Trinity missions series by Drea Damara.

If you are anything like me, you may need to read the first book in this series for a lot of the nuances of this book to make complete sense. I always felt like I was a step behind while reading this. All the foreign names threw me off in the beginning. I had a hard time remembering who was who. There came a point where it was down to just Carla and Ivan and after that, the story just flew. I have to admit that I almost gave up on this book. I wanted to put it down so many times. But I pushed through. This book could be 75 pages shorter and it wouldn’t take away from its impact.

I didn’t really see the point of the beginning half of the book, most of it was just the author letting us know who was who and what the entire set up was. There were some great character revelations here that almost seemed to fall a bit flat upon the revealing of them.

The end does leave us hanging a bit which I assume means there will be another book in this series.

If you like spy guys, spies and just espionage in general, definitely check this book out. It will be just your speed. It was just okay for me.

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.

4 stars

Great spy novel that draws in the reader.

Realistic action and the characters leap of the page.

The story flows around the two main characters, with the supporting characters adding to the believability of the story.

Broken hearted and bullet-ridden, agent Caria Milosc returns to work after the attack that nearly toppled the Trinity intelligence organization. As she digs deeper into her new mission, she uncovers secrets about her boss, leaving her with a moral dilemma—show mercy or taste revenge.
After a favor that nearly cost him his life, mercenary Ivan Skavinsk reunites with an underworld group he had infiltrated. Deep in the jungles of Bolivia he finds he may have pushed his vigilantism to the brink.

Readers will find the story intriguing, but perhaps a bit long, with some of the later part of the book a little tiresome.

Overall though it is a good read, bring back some of the missing actions and tension of sky novels of yesteryear.

I had a good time reading this espionage story, the writing was really well done as were the characters. The motives felt like they'd be real to the characters.

This book starts out slow but ends with a bang. About a third of the way in I was getting really bored with all the boo hoo poor me, she doesn't know I'm her father and she'll never forget me and all the other emotional stuff going on but when Caria takes on the mission of retrieval of the russian than everything changes the story becomes tighter, a lot more action and better all the way up to the end. I hope to be able to read the next book if the action is as good. #NoDeathForTheWicked #NetGalley
