Book description:
Sometimes evil is so close you can’t see it.
Former NZSAS corporal Nik “Nikyboy” Te Koha is on vacation with his Task Force SEAR buddies in Indonesia when a suicide bomber targets a church. Triage efforts quickly morph into a full-blown mission, bringing Nik’s old demons knocking.
Terror has haunted Rina Soto from childhood, killing her family and fueling her passion to join Delta 77, a counter-terrorism unit. Convinced the recent attack wasn't a one-off, she sets out to hunt down the bombers with the help of an enigmatic Kiwi and his highly skilled team.\
Opposites attract; fighting the same enemy unites. Nik and Rina put their lives on the line to prevent more carnage, but another threat looms much closer. Can Rina's unwavering faith pierce Nik's darkness?
My review:
Myles is still a fairly new author in the Christian fiction world, with this being her second book in this series, and her third book total. But I would say she has quickly found her feet and is already churning out great novels worth reading.
I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but this second one was even better. Sometimes I think it takes a couple of books to get characters developed in a series like this with a team of very different people. And there was a lot more character development in this book. I loved Nik and Rina, but also enjoyed getting to know the other characters more. I am definitely looking forward to Ariel's story, whenever it comes out, but his brother's is next in the series.
There was non stop action, suspense, and danger in this book. And I loved it. I enjoyed the banter and interplay between the team and the way they worked together. This book definitely entertained, but it also brought home the sober reminder that not everyone has the freedom to worship as we please here in the USA.
In addition to all of the other elements of the story, Myles did not shy away from a Christian message in the book, and the reminder that no badly how messed up we are - or think we are - God can redeem us and our past and make something of us.
Special thanks to the author for an advance e-book copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
Elusive Evil releases December 19.
