Hawk TheQuiet Professionals Book 2 by Ronie Kendic Book Review

ABOUT BOOK: Raptor’s communications expert, Staff Sergeant Brian “Hawk” Bledsoe is struggling with his inner demons, leaving him on the verge of an “other than honorable” discharge. Plagued with corrupted intel, Raptor team continues to track down the terrorist playing chess with their lives. Afghan pilot Fekiria Haidary is devastated when a systems glitch on her aircraft forces a weapons launch on a safe target.

My review:

I just finished reading "Hawk" and I was intrigued by the story. The storyline was great and the characters were strong and brought to life by the author. This book is full of action, suspense and fear. An Afghan woman named Fekiria is a pilot and has left her family because they are against her way of life. Staff Sergeant Brian "Hawk" has made a promise that he will not take back. "Hawk is hit with decisions that he does not want to make. He is in a position that he never wanted.  Now, it is war against a terrorist and all of their lives are in danger. I give this book a 4/5, I was given this book via The Book Club Network Inc., for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
