Summary:


Best friends Kayla Falk, an engineering student, and Olivia Bellamy, who is studying nursing, are nearing the end of their college career when terrorists attack their university. Through a combination of cleverness, bravery, and luck, the two manage to foil the deadly plot. A mysterious man from the United States government, Mr. Hightower, sees their potential and attempts to recruit Kayla and Olivia for a program to take on ISIS. They initially refuse, but another terrorist attack that strikes close to home pushes them to change their minds and join the Azrael Initiative.

After several months of hard training, the two women are dropped into Al-Raqqah, the capital of ISIS, in Syria. Once there, they must blend in with the locals as they strike from the shadows to kill ISIS leaders, destroy their facilities, and free captives. As Americans deep within enemy territory, they know that they will be killed if discovered. As women, they also know that they would suffer before death. Walking the line between vengeance and justice strains their relationship. As they work to resolve their differences, the symphony of brutality around them ultimately pushes them closer together and forges them into the warriors that they were meant to become.

(I voluntarily received a ACR of this book)
My Rating: 4 Stars
My Recommendation: High

This was a very fast, action packed, entertaining read. I do have some things that I wasn't to keen on. I'm not going to get into that, because major spoilers, but it has to do with.. info, and you know, luck... I get it, you sometimes need make a push, to make the plot move forward and fast. But sometimes it makes the story a little unbelievable. 

Other then that, the two MC's were amazing characters. Strong, good heads on their shoulders and not useless. I mean, that they were badass, took beating and give them out just as bad. It was a nice change. I find sometimes, you'll get MC's that are all talk, but the first sign of action and they are utterly useless, and get their asses handed to them.  

Overall this read was for me, a keeper and something that I will continue to follow. I give this book my stamp of approval and my super high recommendation that you will not only love it, but feel refreshed with the lack of clichés and tropes. 

Happy Reading
