Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.

Flashpoint by Brian Shea and Stacy Lynn Miller is the sixth installment in the Lexi Mills series, and it does not disappoint. This novel is a high-octane thriller that takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of suspense, action, and intrigue.

The story picks up with seasoned ATF Agent Lexi Mills on the trail of a notorious crime boss, Anton Boyko, following the mysterious death of a top Federal Prosecutor. Lexi’s pursuit leads her to the Raven, a criminal mastermind with a deadly high-tech weapons system. Alongside her partner Nathan Croft, Lexi finds herself entangled in a complex FBI plan that pushes her skills and morality to the limit.

Shea and Miller have crafted a narrative that is both explosive and meticulously plotted. The pacing is relentless, making it nearly impossible to put the book down. The authors’ backgrounds—Shea’s experience as a detective and Miller’s military service—lend authenticity to the tactical and procedural elements of the story, immersing the reader in the world of federal law enforcement.

Lexi Mills is a protagonist for the ages—tough, intelligent, and unwavering in her pursuit of justice. Her character development throughout the series reaches new heights in Flashpoint, as she navigates the murky waters of national security and personal ethics.

The writing is crisp, the dialogue sharp, and the action scenes are described with a clarity that puts you right in the middle of the fray. The stakes are incredibly high, and the tension builds to a crescendo that delivers a satisfying payoff.

Flashpoint is a must-read for fans of thrillers, especially those who enjoy a strong female lead and a plot that keeps you guessing.

This was a good story which kept me turning the pages throughout the night. Great mystery, writing and plotting will recommend to all my friends who love this genre.

A strong and powerful story, which I read the first five beforehand, lots of twists, I am sure a great series.

4 stars

This is a very well written book with great characters. It can also be entertaining if you turn your brain completely OFF, as there is a lot of tactical nonsense. The technology is still sci-fi, and if it were realistic, it's (unfortunately) not possible to un-invent anything, so their quest is moot.

Full of suspense, this is a fast paced and action packed story. While part of a series, it stands alone so is accessible to any reader. I loved the sense of tension building as the book progressed and there are some real nail biting moments.
