Justice with a vengeance.Imagine if you were offered a choice: give up your freedom or watch the people closest to you lose theirs. What would you do?When international fugitive Sydney Rye turns herself over to authorities in order to protect the vigilante network she inspired, her freedom depends on helping Homeland Security shift the tides in a war for “hearts and minds.” Sydney Rye is tasked … in a war for “hearts and minds.” Sydney Rye is tasked with the perfect assignment: recruit female fighters to take on jihadists. Being killed by a woman is the only thing extremists fear because they believe it bars their entrance to Heaven. But when the director who enlisted Sydney Rye is killed, and the deal she made is scrapped, Sydney and Blue are left in a war zone, hunted by both the U.S. government and jihadists.

Interesting concept, but too violent for my taste.
i love this serious… Can’t wait for the next book!!!!!!
I enjoy the series. Always look forward to the next.
Sydney has a back story that is fascinating, but she and the series just keep going forward like a freight train, and you want to hang on for the ride. I’ve read them all, and Sydney just keeps on developing into more and more of an action hero WOMAN who fights for justice. The plots are incredibly well thought out, the characters are fascinating, and I can’t wait for the next one.
As usual, an excellent read. I really like the Sydney Rye books. It’s hard to put one down once you start reading.
Have totally enjoyed the entire series. Currently reading book #9 of the Sydney Rye story.
This is the end of series book (Sydney dies at the end)
Was odd – thunder rumbling in her head throughout – and kind of sad. Sydney knows she is going to be killed by one of her fighters and goes into the trap anyway, not caring about dying herself, but wanting Blue to survive and be free.
good book
Quite unrealistic but very readable. Didn’t rate it higher because of not being told ahead of time it was a serial book.
Enjoyed reading the story
This is a rage-filled female mirror image of male, rage-filled psychosis. Not for me.
This was an excellent book. I loved the whole series to date (up to book 8). Can’t wait to read #9. I love this character ~ female dog-walker-turned-assassin looking to right the injustices of the world. Contains graphic violence, wonderful characters and a most lovable canine sidekick.
Loved the book but ending left you hanging
“The Girl with a Gun”
Emily Kimelman
I did not realize I was in the middle of a series when I read this book. But you know what it did not matter. The story and Characters supported this book So well. As Usual I will only tell you enough to make you want to read this book, but not enough to spoil your Read!!! Sydney Rye and her Dog Blue are Fugitives wanted by the CIA and Homeland Security. She is the mainstay of a vigilante Organization known as Joyful Justice. Sydney is a high Quality assassin and Warrior.She has to turn herself in to someone who has the information to destroy her Organization. They take her to Iraq and Syria where she meets the leader of an all Girl Fighting Force!! This meeting of two Equal and deadly warriors is what develops this Story and why its important!!
And you know what that’s all you get, you “gotta git”the book to find out the End!! I looking for the next book and the start of the Series. The author Emily Kimelman does a great job on this Story. So enjoy a Good Read.

I have read one other oftbesebooksand I have enjoyed them both. I would tell all my friends to read these. Thank you for writing it so I could enjoy reading it.
This is an interesting series.
Hard to put down till end. Very good read. Can’t wait to read other novels.
It was pretty good!!!
This book is a very entertaining read. The characters keep you a little off balance trying to figure out what they’ll do next.
The Girl with the Gun by Emily Kimelman
To say that this book is fast paced, is an understatement. I could barely catch my breath! If you have not yet become a fan of Sydney Rye and her dog Blue, you will be after reading this story.
I will admit that at times I was a bit overwhelmed by the gory bits, in fact had to keep looking the Kimelman’s picture in order to reassure myself that she did not look like a killer. The advantage to the fast pace is that those scenes quickly fade and the reader is transported elsewhere.
This story is sometimes artful, sometimes tender, sometimes philosophical. And sometimes downright brutal.
Sydney and Blue are sent to Iraq to help out an all-woman fighting force. They are fighting for the rights of women to be free of brutality and slavery. They are at war with a group that kidnaps and enslaves women.
As it turns out, there are other factions fighting for the same thing and Sydney tries to broker cooperation and, hopefully, peace between these groups. Along the way she bonds with some strong and powerful women and those bonds make her all the more determined to help them. Blue is always by her side, he is faithful and perceptive and tries, unfailingly, to guide Sydney away from danger; when danger is inevitable he is there to help her.
At times Sydney is forced to choose between the women she wants to help and troops from her own country. Definitely not a win-win situation.
Aside from the big actions, Kimelman is a genius at describing every day scenes. She can make you a part of a bumpy ride in a truck, feel a long needed shower, look with dismay at a rumpled unmade bed. All these familiar scenes are what make the characters so real.
This is not my first Kimelman/Sydney Rye book and I am confident that it is not my last.
