When i found this one on iBooks,i was instantly intrigued. And once i started,i knew this was a story i needed to finish. One i couldn’t put down until i knew what happened to Phoenix. If she got her memory back. And who she really was….besides the strong woman that kicked ass. That was part of a team called Alpha Squad,but felt she stood on the side-line. That needed to be trusted by her commanding officer Cobra,but never received that trust. The end of this book drives me straight to part 2,Retribution. I need to know more! Really,i do!
I love books that feature a strong heroine and Phoenix was definitely it. The head of her squad, Phoenix, along with Medic and Wolfe, hunt down criminals under the order of their leader, the mysterious Cobra. The action at the beginning of the book is a real hook but as the story continues, the mystery deepens as Phoenix’s past is revealed and how it connects to her future in the squad.
Definitely a must read for fans of action and suspense.
A fast paced page turner with an interesting twist. Phoenix has a past, she just can’t remember it but her present is as a soldier in an alpha squad. Whilst on a mission in Columbia her past and present collide. Good characterization and action sequences with a small romance thread. Note this is not a standalone book and is part of a series so the story is not resolved in this novel.
To be honest, I’m not a big fan of such genre, but I dive into this story.
“Snakebite. Alpha squad book 1.” by Heather Ramsay.
This is a thriller with bite (snakebite ) Actions, violence, surprises and everything that you want from this genre, will wait for you. Are you ready?
Phoenix is newest recruit. Where she came from, nobody knows, even she herself. She does not remember her past, or identity. Phoenix is a strong female character amongst alpha males. Squad is all she has… And then, wait for surprises.. Oh, almost forget about General Cobra (cobra, hmm) , who is cold, hard and ruthless, and he does not trust her
I really ate my nails while reading.
If you’re looking for a roller-coaster ride, this book is for you. 5/5
Great action packed adventure with a twist I didn’t see coming. Well-written and edited. I can’t wait to read the next in the series!
Not for the squeamish!
A UN military unit The Alpha Squad shelters the hard-bitten heroine Major Phoenix, who has no past and is trained to kill. Arms dealers are the target and are ruthlessly opposed. Code names reign supreme in this action novel, which lend to the mystery. Just who is Major Phoenix? Mysterious boss Cobra adds tension, and sometimes seems like the enemy, but that soon changes in more ways than one. Intriguing take on international and personal relations simmering below the veneered surface.
The warnings didn’t lie when it mentions adult language, but that’s fine by me. I find cursing much more realistic, especially in military high-stress situations. While I’m usually not a huge fan of the brooding, mentor relationship, in this book it works. There are several aspects of the relationships within this story, and the characters are well-fleshed out and multi-faceted. There is plenty of high action, intrigue, and I look forward to the next installment. I do warn, it ends on a cliffhanger!
