“Had Me Sitting at the Edge of My Seat!!!”

Five Star Review on Amazon By Polina

The Author does a fabulous job of weaving a storyline that’s believable and entertaining! It was difficult to put it down once I started reading! This fast paced military adventure had me sitting at the edge of my seat…anxious to know who the ‘bad’ guy was!!
Coming from a military family myself, I could easily identify with the many strong, forceful yet highly endearing characters in this incredibly well written military mystery. The book was very entertaining to read and it immediately pulled me into the storyline! I found myself engrossed in its twisted, but highly interesting, plot from the very start! Great job, CN Bring!
