S’aven, the dystopian city surrounding the closed off London, is quite an interesting world to explore. The poverty, the thriving crime, the every day struggle for the most basic of things, the hopelessness, everything is palpable. While set somewhere in the future, it does not seem so far away, a future where everything becomes a few shades darker, more terrifying.Rachel Aaron, a young Reacher and a doctor, struggles to maintain the facade of a normal life, hiding her super human abilities. She shields herself from the prying eyes of those looking for Reachers. Yet one of the crime bosses of the city has her sights set on her, and that is how the Smith brothers, John and Charlie (also a Reacher), and Roxy, enter her life.If there were teams, I am team John all the way! Dark, brooding, a perfect killing machine, dedicated to his brother, loyal to a fault. But while I loved him the most, this quartet is perfect. The four of them make for a lovely interaction to watch. Rachel who’s just struggling to come to terms with her new life, Charlie with his demons and nightmares of the past, John who bears his own scars, and Roxy, smooth and untrustworthy through and through, they have an interesting dynamic that caught my attention even more than the mystery and thrill of the book.I’d tell you more, but I hate spoiling parts of the story for new readers. Just grab your copy and start reading! I personally can’t wait for the next book in the Reachers series.
