My
Thoughts:
Atlee Pine is searching for answers in the abduction of her
twin sister, thirty years earlier. Her sister, Mercy was taken, and Atlee was
left, but assaulted and almost died. The events shattered her family and is one
of the chief reasons she became an FBI agent. All three books have taken us a
little closer to the truth of that night, but the focus of each story is
divided into that ongoing mystery and a new mystery Atlee which is solved by
the end.
I won’t spoil the series by detailing the progress in her
search for answers about her sister and family, but I will say that it doesn’t
fully resolve by the end of Daylight. Honestly, I was a little disappointed by
that, but even so, Daylight was a captivating read! Murder and political
corruption are at the center of this mystery, and this time in addition to her
intrepid FBI assistant Carol Blum she has John Puller as a partner in tracking
down these evil people. Lots of action and danger with them barely coming away
with their lives had me on edge of my seat!
So far, there’s been no serious romance for Atlee, but I have
hope (hopeless romantic here) that along with the truth, Atlee will find someone
special. There was the possibility in the last book, but nothing concrete happened
however something may come of it in the coming book (s?).
Atlee is my hero! She’s one badass having been an Olympic weightlifter
and MMA competitor, she has the muscle and skill to take on the nastiest
fights, and she has no problem fighting dirty when necessary! She’s a champion
for victims and can’t stand to walk away when she should be focusing on her own
investigation.
This series is best read in order.
I alternately listened and read the book, and the audio was
fantastic! Brittany Pressley’s strong, calm voice made Atlee come alive, and I
love that Kyf Brewer performed all the male parts. I listened at 1.3x normal
speed.
Good to know the series is best read in order. It does sound promising.
ReplyDeleteI just love those female characters that can kick booty, and train their bodies to embrace their best strengths.
ReplyDeleteI've never read any of Baldacci's books although my mom loves them. But Atlee does sound like an awesome character. I hope she finds love in the next book. ;D
ReplyDeleteI like that her personal mystery case is going on through the series with cases solved in each book. She sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteI will get to this series at some point. :)
Did not fully resolve, hmmm
ReplyDeleteI have the first two books in this series and really need to try to get to it this year. This one sounds like something that I would really enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying this series. Fantastic review Rachel! Atlee and Carol are my heroes! There is a whole separate series about John Puller with 4 books and I've read the first one now. So much I always want to read. Luckily they are all at the library on audio even.
