Proximity

This was a fast-paced and engaging thriller! I did find myself wishing I had first read other books involving the main character, Lexi, because I did feel like I was missing out on some of the background of the story. That being said, I enjoyed the intriguing plot, fast pace and nonstop suspense. I appreciate the opportunity to read this novel!

ATF agent Lexi Mills is drawn into a hostage situation in a small family run grocery store when explosives are discovered wired throughout the market. The situation becomes even more precarious when the mastermind pulling the strings turns out to be her former nemesis with untenable demands.
Great action story with very well defined characters and plot line.
The suspense builds as the plot unwinds and it becomes a rapid page turner.
The only less than riveting part for me were excessive personal sideline add ins which really were totally superfluous and a bit tedious.

What a treat to be approved to read this advance reader copy from NetGalley. I read and enjoyed the first of this series although each could be read as a standalone. Carve out some time for this action packed, tension filled story, you won’t be able to find a place to pause.
Lexi is a decorated ATF agent with unparalleled skills when it comes to diffusing explosives. She literally gets pulled from her flight to a new crisis. Hostages, incendiary devices, SWAT, the FBI and an evil terrorist group leader demanding her presence. The scenes play out with white-knuckle intensity.
Lexi’s life partner gets an up-close, frightening experience seeing what the job entails and she is not prepared for how the unrelenting fear of losing her feels like. She may not be able to handle loving her. It takes a special commitment to love someone you know risks their life every time they go to work.
What sets this series apart is the diverse representation of ordinary people with strengths and flaws, those you might pass every day. The homeless, an addict, a deaf child, the LBGQ couple, a housewife, the store clerk, each one is relevant if given the opportunity.
Highly recommend this thrilling read and the authors. Proximity is 2nd in the Lexi Mills series, by Brian Shea and Stacy Lynn Miller, expected publish date Feb. 09, 2023 by Severn River Publishing. These are all my own honest personal thoughts and opinions given voluntarily without compensation.

This was an enjoyable and quick read. It is part 2 of a 4 part series. Once again Lexi Mills is chasing her arch enemy Belcher and risking her life to do it. She’s also risking the love of her life in the process.

This book is filled with action and diffusing bombs left and right. Lexi has her work cut out for her but luckily she has her friend Noah Black to help her.

Lexi’s girlfriend Nita, is along on this mission and she has a very difficult time dealing with the danger that Lexi jumps into headfirst everytime.

ARC received from Net Galley for an honest and voluntary review.

Proximity is an excellent addition to The Lexi Mills series!
Fast paced, action packed, thriller.
Intriguing plot with interesting and developed characters, returning and new.
Look forward to reading Impact next!
