About the Book:

The enemy is relentless, but they made one fatal they underestimated him.

Australian mercenary Tyler Reid, known as “The Ghost of OZ,” has a talent for evading detection, a skill that has caught the eye of multiple government agencies. When a shadowy group targets a CIA asset and her revolutionary drug ND1, the Deputy Director calls in Tyler. Eager for action, Tyler takes the job. He soon realizes that the enemy is not only after the drug, but also out for his blood. Then the mission goes south, and he is forced to seek an unlikely ally.

For covert foreign operative Alexandra Romanova, freedom is a distant dream. Escaping one prison only led her to a more dangerous one. Her deadly skills are at her boss’s disposal, but she’ll use them only to escape. Her final chance hinges on retrieving ND1, but the elusive Ghost of Oz complicates things. Tyler Reid isn’t an easy mark, and the better she gets to know him, the more she questions the mission she’s tasked with. Soon she faces a dire kill a man she is convinced is good, or pay with her own life.

As Tyler and Alex venture beyond their orders, the line between enemy and ally blurs. On the edge of failure, trust becomes a dangerous gamble with every decision dragging them deeper into the line of fire. As enemies close in and alliances shift, they are ensnared in a ruthless battle where survival depends on split-second choices. In this high-stakes fight, time is running out, and the margin for error is zero.

My Review:

Line of Fire by Taylor S Newport
Rating: 3.5/5
Pages: 414
Published: November 7, 2024
Series: Dauntless Defenders

Disclosure: I received this book free from the publisher/author. The opinions I have expressed are my own, and I was not required to write a positive review. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

This is one of those that I’m not even quite sure how to review, or where to start. The ending was a little choppy, and the action scenes were difficult for me to follow. It reminds me of several action films and TV series, and as the story goes on I can tell that fans of those will likely love this book as well!

The story got better as it goes, and before I knew it I was cheering on the characters! I did guess some of the twists, but I tend to do that anyway. Still, I enjoyed the overall storyline, the characters were fun, and the action scenes also improved and become more clear after the first couple of opening chapters, once things are more established and we have had the chance to get to know the cast a little better, which is understandable, since apart from that it tends to be just chaos, lol. Once we get to meet the characters then the rest of the story really starts to shine.
