Collateral Damage (#01 in Danger Never Sleeps Series)

If any of you know me then you know that I absolutely love Lynette Eason's books. Her stories always draw me so that I don't want to put them down. I have to keep reading until I finish. This series was no exception. All three books drew me in and kept the suspense high. I enjoy how all three books remain with the same group of friends but also starts and connects with their time serving in Afghanistan. \\n\\nI think part of the reason I enjoy these books so much is that the lives of the characters is so far from mine. I'm not in the military, I'm not in an emergency services job. I don't live my life reacting to action, drama and danger. But it is enjoyable to read a book that is so far from your normal life.

Lynette Eason is new to me it was the title that first taught my attention, 'Collateral Damage', it intrigued me. Once I started I couldn't put it down the story line just keeps giving and the pages just kept turning. This story is full of adventure, action, it got quite tense in parts but also funny. \\nThis may be the first Lynette Eason book I've brought but it won't be the last. Great story teller, well done LE.

Lynette Eason has her finger on the pulse with a fabulously timely new series, Danger Never Sleeps. Tensions are high in the Middle East, and Collateral Damage shows how it impacts the military both at home and abroad. The story focuses on a former military psychiatrist and a war vet suffering from PTSD. They rapidly realise that the past has followed them from Afghanistan, and things quickly spin out of control in a tale that will hook you on Eason's writing.

As a result of surviving brutal explosions in Afghanistan, both Asher and Brooke have left the military. Suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), each of them are trying to piece their lives back together. Not really knowing each other while in the military, they have now been thrown together because someone is trying to kill Brooke. Can it be related to something she unknowingly became linked with while overseas?\\nAt the same time, a number of shallow graves are found in South Carolina, the people are multiple ages, races and nationalities, what common link do they all share that led to their deaths? Law enforcement is mystified about what the connection could be. \\nMeanwhile, back in Afghanistan, reporter Sarah is working incognito in an orphanage, and has uncovered a terrible crime involving the children. She fears the dangerous people behind it have found her out, making her life at risk--but she might not be able to get out in time. \\nFast-moving thrills and action fill this book, with faith woven in lightly. Even though there are a lot of characters introduced at the beginning, stick with it, and the story will smooth out. Keep in mind that, once revealed, the subject matter is shocking, and, for me, it was difficult to read. This many layered 4 1/2-star tale will be enjoyed by those who like fast-paced, action stories. \\nRevell Publishing has provided bookreadingtic with a complimentary copy of Collateral Damage, for the purpose of review
