Review: Great First Effort...
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 3, 2014
This is book one in the RARE series.  While this is the only book out at the time of review, I recommend that the books be read in order for continuity of the storyline.Angel and her team are RARE, Rescue and Retrieval Extractions, and they have a reputation for getting the job done where others have failed.  Their abilities allow them to be the absolute best extraction team in existence.  Just home from their latest mission, and getting ready to unwind, Angel takes a call from an unknown number.  Jenna Montgomery begs Angel and her team to find her daughter.  When one of her team members, Nico, all but leaves to start the mission she hasn't even accepted yet, Angel doesn't question it, she just gives Jenna her requirements and packs her team up to head out to find the little girl.I really enjoyed this book, while the overall premise has been done before (and lets face it, what idea hasn't been?)  The author puts enough of a spin on it to make it a unique take on things.  The characters have plenty of potential, and the writing is solid.  I would say that the average reader will love this book.  That being said, I think it could have been better.  The characters and their story could have been fleshed out a bit more, things moved along far too quickly.  The fact is that there are several major plot points in this one short book, and honestly, it could have been split up into at least two or three books without harming the storyline or making the story drag.  Splitting up the book would have allowed the author to really flesh out the members of RARE and to tell their stories with the time and attention to detail that they really deserved.  Still, it's a good first effort and I am interested to read the next installment.  I have a feeling that as the story develops, so too, will the author.If you enjoy a good shape shifter romance/action story, then you will really like this book.Reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors that Rock.
