Danger Rising (Red Stone Security #20)
By: Katie Reus
Recommendation: 👍👍👍👍 - (Out of 5 👍)
Lana didn't have a normal upbringing. When she was a teenager, Lana learned how to scale buildings, crack safes, and escape crime scenes undetected. Her mom was a modern day Robin Hood, stealing from those who were doing evil and then giving the spoils to their victims. Lana travelled the world with her mom to assist on her heists. But Lana had plans to leave that life behind, that was until her mom was murdered and a prized family heirloom was stolen by her mom's shady business partner.
Teague is a black ops agent who fell in love with Lana between assignments. He can never share with her the intimate details about his job even though she has told him everything about her life. The past few months, as a way of protecting her from enemies who want him gone, Teague has allowed Lana to believe he was dead. He has watched her from a far and realizes he needs to intercede when Lana decides to go up against the monster who stole her inheritance and get back the necklace that was stolen from her.
I received an Advanced Reader Copy from NetGalley and the publisher KR Press, LLC for an honest review.
I have been a long time fan of Katie Reus but admit that I have never had the opportunity to read a story from her 'Red Stone Security' series. From the very beginning of the book, Danger Rising grabbed me and drew me in with a fast paced, action packed, edge of my seat scene. The main character Lana, was already in the middle of her first heist. At that point in the story I didn't need to know why or who, the writing of this first chapter was so engaging I couldn't wait to learn more. Reus created in Lana a strong female character who is self sufficient and capable of taking care of herself. Yes, she is a thief and technically that is a bad thing but Lana has a moral code of ethics her mother instilled in her. They always stole from those who were wealthy and then used that wealth against those less fortunate. A portion of the money stolen would go back to the victims. As you read deeper into the book you find there are several layers to the story, each one creating a greater depth to the overall storyline. I enjoyed Danger Rising and will definitely be checking out the other books in the series. Danger Rising can be read as a stand alone; no evident storylines from the prior books carried over.
Danger Rising will be released on September 20, 2022 but you can pre-order your copy now.
