This action packed novella about Halo and Blackbird will grab your attention immediately. It moves quickly and is full of vivid detail. This is my first book from this author and I enjoyed it. The limited writing space does not hinder the character development or plot pace. Very enjoyable read. I look forward to reading more in this series.
Edge of the Storm by Lisette Kristensen is the second book in the Silent Secrets series. This is a short story that packs a punch. I really am enjoying seeing the transformation and growth of the character Blackbird. Also, despite the short length, there is a lot of story told. Characters are interesting and developed and the story is action-packed. I also enjoyed the story and the angle of the target being Vatican treasures. I look forward to more in this series.
Edge of the Storm: Book 2 (Silent Secrets)
By Lisette Kristensen
Rated 5 stars
This is the second book in this series and all I can say is Wow! So fast paced and full of action! I really enjoyed this one! We get to see the first mission of Blackbird. It and the story completely enthralled me. The characters are smart, fit and have zero tolerance for fun. It’s all business all the time…well except that one brief moment. I feel these stories get better and better with each one I read.
In a side note I have to say…400 pushups? Dayum! That is impressive! I can only imagine the shape she is in. Well done to the author and I look forward to reading more about this character.
Edge of the Storm: Book 2 (Silent Secrets) by Lisette Kristensen is an action packed thriller that is a very short and quick but the plot is fast paced and full of action that will keep you on the edge of your seat right up to the very last page. Lisette left it open for the story to continue and I hope it does. These agents are trained to be deadly and it’s that, that will keep the terrorists at bay but when one of their own is taken can the team reach her in time before a major disaster happens? Will they be able to stop evil and save their agent?
I recommend you grab this book as it will get your heart pumping.
Edge of the Storm was a great 5 star read and book two in the Silent Secrets series by Lisette Kristensen.
She hit like a hammer, and was deadly like a rifle.
I love Blackbird (Sloane), she is an extremely strong character and knows how to take care of things. We continue with her story and as she finishes her training she is paired up with Halo.
We get a little glimpse at Adam, who Sloane has developed a little crush on during her training. But fraternization is forbidden.
Blackbird and Halo end up in Rome, when something goes wrong and Halo goes missing Blackbird is part of the search team. We get a lot of non stop action and edge of your seat moments. Can Blackbird and her team find Halo before it’s too late? Can they stop the terrorists plans?
The sad thing about betrayal, it never comes from the enemy.
Overall this was a thrilling read. This cannot be read as a stand alone or you will be completely lost. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. Once I got started I couldn’t stop until I was done, and I’m impatiently waiting for the next book in the series. Thank you Lisette for another great read.
For the most part I really enjoyed Sloane’s journey into becoming Blackbird. I’m a little tired out on the destroying something at the Vatican story line but there isn’t really much else that old and precious to as many people so I get the intrigue. I’ve always liked more detail in training aspects of spies, secret agents, mercenaries, ect. so I would have enjoyed a little more of how she and Halo get to a point in their lives and careers that they are able to get back up form everything they endure. That being said, this book as well as the previous novel and novella are non stop and will have you tearing through to get to the next page. Can’t wait for the 3rd book
Edge of the Storm (Silent Secrets Book 2) by Lisette Kristensen
5 Stars
WOW!! This was written really really well. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to see what was going to happen.
Sloane (Blackbird) was an awesome character, You MUST read the first in this series to completely understand what is going on and how Sloane got where she is in this story. The action in this book was non stop. I followed it easily and although it was hard reading about terrorists with our world being the way it is right now, it was totally awesome watching the other side go after them. I was not completely sure about Halo at some points in this story but I ended up loving her as much as I did our Blackbird.
I absolutely must have the next in this series ASAP! Blackbird and Halo are AWESOME and I’m also very very curious whether there is any more to come for Blackbird and Adam.
Very quick read, full of content and very easy to follow. Will have book 3 as quick as I can get a hold of it and would love to read more from this author.
Amazingly Awesome!!!
I enjoyed my first book by this author. Her writing skills are creative and has the ability to make the situations feel real. The characters will take you on a few twists and turns that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. They are full of feistiness. This is about a terrorist threat made to Rome. Halo has come to Rome to mentor a new agent. When meeting with an informant Halo is taken prisoner. Her partner Blackbird is set on getting her back. I highly suggest this book.
Edge of the Storm by Lisette Kristensen is the second book in the Silent Secreta series. This book is fast paced, intriguing and will have you hooked until the very end.
This is an author I have recently become familiar with and so far I have loved every book. This was definitely has to be my favourite though. The whole story had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen. It was full of twists and turns that meant you never quite knew what the outcome was going to be. I enjoyed Halo’s character. She was strong and commanding on a way that added to the story.
I fell in love with the cover of this book. It is eye grabbing and makes me want to read the book.
My only gripe, and it is a small one, is that I wish the book were a little longer. It felt like I had finished it all too quickly.
This is a great story and one I would definitely recommend.
Edge of the Storm picks up with Blackbird as she goes on her first mission with Halo in Rome. When Halo is taken, Blackbird has to put everything she has learned to save her partner. I am loving this series! The suspense, the action, the bada$$ women the story revolves around. The only thing I’d like to see is more action and a longer story!
What a story!!! Blackbird is a woman that knows what she has to do and will not stop until the mission is complete. This is a non stop action adventure that we’re taken on from beginning until the end. Halo is strong and all that she endures is unbelievable but at the same time she’s trained to take it all and never give up. I was on the edge the entire time reading this book, my eyes couldn’t read fast enough to see what was happening next. This is a story that is a MUST READ hands down you will not be disappointed. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
This is the first book I have read by Lisette Kristensen but it will not be my last. The action and adventure that follows Halo really is what makes this book. I wasn’t completely sold on the character at first but as I became more and more involved in the high stakes terrorist fight that unfolds I was quickly swallowed in whole. I would be interested in seeing what else there is to find out about the characters in the first book this time around however. Combined with reading out of order and the short brief and rushed feeling I got with the size of the novel is my only reason really for marking it four instead of five stars. I am definitely looking forward to book three as well.
