Honor Redeemed

by Andrea Renee Cox

When I first heard about the First Responders series, I had just won a copy of the first book. The premise for it and the entire series sounded like something I would really enjoy. I was disappointed that the first book was a lot slower paced than other suspense books I'd read. That made me hesitant to continue the series, but the idea of this elite tactical team coming together to make a difference in the world continued to intrigue me, so I have slowly been collecting them. That way I could read the rest of the series pretty much back to back to back.

I am disappointed no longer.

Explosive Alliance was a huge improvement on the pacing, and I absolutely got the suspense vibe. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading. Susan Sleeman improved her approach and pacing, and boy, did she ever deliver some surprises! I'm quite impressed at the transformation and am now really eager to begin book three. I can't wait to see the rest of the FRS team members' stories.

In Explosive Alliance, I really enjoyed the relationship between Krista and her grandfather, Otto. It was such a sweet connection, and the devotion and courage that came from it were really beautiful. My mind's whirling with this amazing story, so I'm not really sure what else to say about it right now, other than how awesome it was. Honestly, just get this series and binge-read it. It's looking like it's going to be worth it.

This is my honest review.
