Exit Strategy

Exit Strategy by Jen J. Danna NYPD Negotiators #1 Thrilling story from beginning to end. I could not put this book down! Knowing that your job is to save as many as you can while remaining calm and unflappable while dealing with hostage takers cannot be easy but Gemma and the people she works with do their jobs well. The fact that there are the action types that would rather use force can be a problem and tact is needed not only with the hostage taker but with colleagues, too. What I liked: * Gemma: Strong, capable , intelligent, smooth – a person to be reckoned with and a woman I want to get to know better. * Gemma’s brothers and father: all working as policemen except one who is a firefighter. Wonder if they might show up in future books in the series * Gemma’s team: there for one another and worked smoothly together * Logan: interesting man that could, maybe be a love interest in the future for Gemma * Frankie: Gemma’s best friend * The plot, story and writing * The action scenes * The dialogue between Gemma and the hostage taker * It was believable * I felt I was there * Information about New York * The additional last little bit that was added to the end of the story…loved hearing from Logan then * Reading a new-to-me-author that I will look for again in the future * All of it really except… What I did not like: * The hostage taker: a twisted hateful man that I couldn’t like even when I understood his motivation * Having to say goodbye to all of the characters and wondering what will happen in book two of the series Did I enjoy this book? Definitely Would I read more in this series? Without a doubt Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
