BOOK REVIEW- CODENAME OMEGA: OMEGA RISING by Jessica Meats

Omega Rising (Codename Omega Book 1) by [Meats, Jessica]
Jenny Harding has no money, no qualifications and no career history. A job working security for a big tech firm seems too good to be true. Maybe it is. 

She is tasked with hunting down a group of thieves who have been stealing sensitive technology. Caught up in a battle involving alien forces, Jenny has some important questions to answer: 
Who are the thieves? 
What's their real purpose? 
And is she on the right side?


AMAZON  3.5 STARS

On the plus side,  I found the story a bit different.  Jenny was an everyday type of person just trying to survive.  Well she does have some martial arts skills which puts her in a place she never dreamed she would be in.  A dream job comes her way because of it.  But is everything truly as good as it appears?  At first Jenny is cool with everything but she begins to be uneasy and some of the questions mentioned in the book blurb start cropping up.  Some of the story is also written from the perspective of if only I'd known what I know now.

I also like the smart, kind, friend she found in Dr. Swinson.  There are secondary people in the story, who aren't shown real deeply.  I think mainly because they were still feeling their way around and just trying to stay alive.   This book has the feel of a introductory book, just setting things up.  It was a clean story, one that I like YA readers would enjoy.

On the downside is the fact that I didn't like how the book ended.  Although it did end with some things solved, for now.  There was hope, a maybe,  when it came to Jenny and the man she finds she really likes. 
It looks like more adventures are coming... 


I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and these are my honest thoughts about it.
