Veena’s review of Lethal Redemption (Steele Ops, Book 2) by April Hunt
Romantic Suspense published by Forever 26 Nov 19
This is a great series with an excellent cast of characters If you haven’t read Book 1 in the series, I highly recommend you do so – not because you need it to figure out what’s happening in this story, but because you’ll be sorry to miss it.
From the get-go when Grace enters the dark building in a questionable part of town, my nerves began to sizzle in excitement. Then she’s stopped and frisked and has to give up her gun and tasked with infiltrating the very cult that she had once barely escaped alive and assigned Cade Wright, her estranged lover, as a partner. The deck sure is stacked against Grace on this one, isn’t it?Grace spent her childhood in a cult after her father died. Never one to take things at face value, she finally escaped with her life at the age of 13 and ended up with her Steele cousins. Cade Wright is her cousin’s best friend, but, even from that young age, their relationship was different, until Cade enlisted for another term with the military, leaving Grace high and dry. Now he’s working with her cousins and will be her partner on her new mission, but even with their strong chemistry, Grace is not going to open the door he once shut.
Ms. Hunt does an excellent job of taking her readers into the cult and introducing the mind control and fear that is used to control the members. Grace’s mother is the right hand of the cult and has designed an effective set of punishments and brainwashing techniques that are administered by none other than the person who Grace and Cade have been assigned to free. While they are in the compound, Grace and Cade find that the cult has a much darker and much more violent agenda than Grace remembers, but, nonetheless, they execute their mission, only to find they’ve just uncovered the tip of the iceberg.
The twists and turns will keep your adrenaline pumping, and just when you think you’ve got it, another tangent will uncover a whole new series of surprises. I absolutely can’t wait for Roman’s book next, so that I can step back into this world.
Grade: A
Summary:
Top FBI profiler Grace Steele was just a girl when she escaped the Order of the New Dawn, and she’s spent the last seventeen years trying to forget her time there. But when private security firm Steele Ops needs her help extracting a young woman from the secretive cult’s clutches, she’s all in. Even though the mission requires posing as the fiancée of the only man who’s ever broken her heart.
It’s been nine years since Cade Wright turned his back on his childhood sweetheart, and he’s never stopped regretting it. Now that they’re forced to work together, he knows this is his opportunity to show Grace how much he’s changed. But the deeper they get pulled into New Dawn, the clearer it becomes that the demons still haunting Grace are very real, and Cade will have to risk everything to keep her safe . . . including his own life.
