Edge of Your Seat International Thriller


Skyjack (Thea Paris #2) by K.J. Howe
Publication Date – April 10, 2018
4 stars


Thea Paris is a hostage negotiator and part of a team of really tough characters called Quantam.  She buys a last minute ticket upon a chartered plane with two orphan boys when it is high-jacked over Libya.  Using her intelligence and MacGyver like skills she keeps the passengers safe and unintentionally involves herself in a mafia scheme.  This extremely fast paced book involves gutsy hostage negotiators, cruel mafia men, insane scientists and lonely teenagers with a plot that reads like an action movie.  I didn’t read the first in the series which didn’t affect my reading too much but did leave some gaps in character history.  The alternating narratives and short chapters made this a short but sometimes confusing reading experience but overall I am excited to find this series with a strong, intelligent and imperfect female lead.  I received a copy of this book through Bookish First in exchange for an honest review.
