ARC provided by Escape Publishing via NetGalley for an honest review.I did find this book to be enjoyable, light hearted, but a little two dimensional. I feel that a little bit more time could have been taken to flesh out the characters in the book. There are some very interesting players on this stage that I would have liked to get to know a lot better – okay, one I wasn’t too keen on…..Bart the computer geek made me want to hurl with his “I’m such a stud, I use women” outlook on life. That is something I can live without – I didn’t find that character angle funny at all. But Queenie – OMG – hysterical. I would have like to have seen that character developed more, gotten to known what made her tick. Choden is a moderately interesting character, one that you expect to see in this type of story. Also would have like to have seen some of the story from Bremy’s sister’s POV – but the author might have been working within a certain page restriction.The relationship between Bremy and Clark Kent wanna be Pierce had very interesting angles that could be explored more. I enjoyed the byplay with them, but found some of it to be just a little unbelievable (yes, I know –it’s a book, we are to suspend our disbelief).The pace of the book was kept up at a pretty quick tempo, which wasn’t too bad. Might be argued that the authored could have slowed it down a little to allow you to get to know the characters. But overall it was very well written. I enjoyed the action scenes and the different mishaps and mayhem that Bremy kept finding herself getting backed into - - and thru it all, she kept up a “CAN DO” frame of mind with a lot of snark. Especially funny at the end when she is beating up a helicopter that she thinks is her dad and it turns out not to be – and she wondered why it had a shield painted on the door, hmmmm.I would recommend this for a quick light read, it is enjoyable, easy to read and will put a smile on your face.
