Thea Paris is a hostage negotiator and part of a team of really tough characters called Quantam. She buys a last minute ticket upon a chartered plane with two orphan boys when it is high-jacked over Libya. Using her intelligence and MacGyver like skills she keeps the passengers safe and unintentionally involves herself in a mafia scheme. This extremely fast paced book involves gutsy hostage negotiators, cruel mafia men, insane scientists and lonely teenagers with a plot that reads like an action movie. I didn’t read the first in the series which didn’t affect my reading too much but did leave some gaps in character history. The alternating narratives and short chapters made this a short but sometimes confusing reading experience but overall I am excited to find this series with a strong, intelligent and imperfect female lead. I received a copy of this book through Bookish First in exchange for an honest review.
