Review: Exciting first episode
Rating: 5 out of 5

This was my first read of Ronie Kendig's work and I can understand why she calls her work Rapid Fire Fiction. For a novella, there is a lot of action, suspense, and a little romance. Since this is the first in a series, it lays the groundwork for the story and piques the reader's interest about what really happened during the Misrata mission that went horribly wrong and who is trying to kill Team Zulu. For a quick read, the author is able to convey emotional depth, fast-paced action, and likable characters. A lot of characters are introduced and, at times, I had a hard time remembering who was who (they have their real names and false names). I had to keep flipping back pages to re-acquaint myself (this would probably have been easier with a paperback instead of an ebook). I am not a particular fan of the serial format, I would prefer to have the entire book in my hands before I start a story. Having said that, I can understand why this story would serve as a great serial because you really want to find out what happens next. A great first "episode" that makes the reader want to keep reading!
