BOOK REVIEW- BLAZE (Linear Tactical #12) by Janie Crouch

   

Ivy League graduate and computer genius Kendrick Foster, aka Blaze, never expected to find himself putting down permanent roots in a tiny Wyoming town.  

But family isn’t always blood, and the Linear Tactical team is very definitely his family. He’s not going anywhere.  

Neo LeBarre has always been a loner. Her computer hacking days brought her into contact with Linear Tactical, but she’s never felt like she could fit in here. These people are good, decent, honest.  

She’s not.  

When her past catches up with her, demanding more than she can possibly pay, Neo will have to turn the heroes surrounding her, especially Kendrick, to help.  If they'll even give her the time of day after what she's done.  

There's a danger closing in—one that will threaten to rip them all apart.    

The Linear Tactical family has deep roots.
They're going to need them to survive what’s coming.   AMAZON LINK

5 STARS

 

 The opening chapter had me blinking my eyes in surprise. And the surprises just kept coming. 

 There is plenty of action and emotions in this story.  Some of that comes from Dorian and Ray's story with Theo and Savannah.  I really liked that part but that's all I'm going to say about that.  You'll have to read it to know what I'm taking about. 

Kendrick and Neo lead most of the story and are really intriguing people.  They have been raised so differently and their support system was so different too.  But the attraction is real and the way their minds work is real too when it comes to computers.  They work well together when it comes to computers but Neo's trust issues still get in the way for quite a while.  Then Neo does something so stupid I just want to shake her.   But it also weaves the story into even more danger.  The  criminal organization, called Mosaic has some truly brutal people working for them and provide plenty of that danger I was mentioning.

There is also a fair amount of "crew" or in other words, people.  But it's not overwhelming.  It should be easy to follow even for first time reader of this series. 

I liked the way the story ended. I also liked the way the Epilogue leads us into the first book in a new series "Code Name: Aries.  And let me say that info about Ian DeRose and Wavy sounds really good.

 

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy 

of this book.
