Jonel B. (Pure Jonel)
McKenna takes readers deep into her intensely action packed novel right from the very first sentence. I appreciate the way that McKenna uses slang and acronyms, yet also defines them. She keeps up the fast paced, in your face, reality of the situation while at the same time allowing readers full access to the subject matter at hand. Not only is this novel action intensive and suspenseful at times, it is also emotionally poignant. You can feel it pouring forth from the pages. The story is so lifelike that you will be on edge rooting for the characters. Khat is a mix of contradictions laid bare for the reader to see. She’s a fighter yet completely vulnerable. Broken, yet has a strength most of us will never experience. Mike, being the overprotective alpha type that he is in in direct contradiction with, yet fully needed by, her. Combined with their intense chemistry you have a couple that will definitely catch your attention. And even with the characters, it’s the small details that count, or rather in this case, one big one. The ending with Mina was perfect, she made it home as well. This vividly lifelike take will have you hooked. It was a fantastic read
