Silent Strike (Luke Steele #3) by Traci Hunter Abramson, Book Review

By Books Are Sanity!!! -


Book Review:

In the heart of Washington, one deadly secret could topple the presidency and ignite a national crisis.

Captain Luke Steele knows the corridors of power can be as perilous as any battlefield. As a military aide to the president, he carries the nuclear codes and stands at the center of America's most closely guarded secrets. But when whispers of betrayal swirl inside the White House, Luke is drawn into a web of political corruption and hidden agendas that threaten not just the presidency but the stability of the entire nation too.

FBI agent Amberlyn Reiner never expected her late grandmother to leave behind more than keepsakes. But on Christmas Eve, Amberlyn receives an unmarked box containing her grandmother's jewelry from Eastern Europe, coded documents, and obituaries linking to a string of suspicious deaths. As Amberlyn digs deeper, she uncovers whispers of Cold War poisons, vanished operatives, and secrets someone will kill to bury. What her grandmother knew connects directly to a network that didn't die with the fall of the Iron Curtain.

Together, Luke and Amberlyn must follow a trail of hidden alliances stretching from the highest offices in Washington to the quiet streets of Europe. With time running out and enemies embedded within their own government, the two are thrust into a deadly game, where one misstep could cost them their lives--and ignite an international crisis.


My Review:

Abramson has hit it out of the park with Silent Strike! This next novel in the Luke Steele series is unputdownable! It centers around the mystery of Amberlyn’s grandmother and the things she left to her after she passed away. Who really was her grandma? Why did she leave her these specific things? Luke and Amberlyn find themselves pulled straight into harm’s way with no idea why. There is action, suspense, mystery, with a side of romance! The perfect combination while the reader tries to solve the mystery alongside Luke and Amberlyn. Abramson keeps the pace fast and the danger high! If you like romantic suspense you will love Silent Strike! I received a complimentary copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Happy Reading!!!
