5 out of 5 stars
FALCON is the third installment in The Quiet Professionals
Series, and once again, Ms. Kendig’s writing draws you in from the very start.
Raptor team member, Warrant Officer Salvatore “Falcon” Russo
is as tough as they come. Being a part of the Raptor Team is his life. But,
there are deep wounds behind the ‘no guts, no glory’ persona. One of those
wounds is Cassandra Walker. Hate and bitterness is all Falcon feels for
Cassandra, so when she is assigned to Raptor Team to help take down terrorist
Meng-Li-Jin, it challenges Falcon, and his ability to follow the orders given
to him. Cassandra is responsible for the death of people that were front and
center in his life. Putting his team in her hands in the last thing he wants to
do.
Cassandra Walker has never loved another man beside
Salvatore Russo. But she knows all too well that Salvatore blames her for doing
the inexcusable. When assigned to Raptor, Cassandra feels this is her chance to
get close to Sal again, and maybe repair the damages she’s done. Unfortunately,
it only proves to push him farther away. She has so much she wants to explain
to Sal, but knows she doesn’t stand a chance.
When things go sideways for Raptor, the team doesn’t know
who to trust. The walls are closing in around them, and defining who is friend
or foe becomes even harder.
I don’t know how she does it! Ronie Kendig is phenomenal when
it comes to edge of your seat suspense that is articulated to perfection. Her
characters are flawed, and many are struggling with deep-seeded wounds, but that’s
what makes them real and relatable. Spirituality is not front in center in this
series. Though characters talk of God and pray, it’s not the focal point of the
story or the characters. But you know it is their patriotism and their faith
that get them through the trials and struggles they face in their everyday world.
A must read for anyone who likes to hold their breath while
reading.
