***Short & Sweet Reviews are
short, quick reviews. These will mainly be used for series books where I
have already done full reviews on some of the earlier books or for
books that I feel will suffice with a quick review. These will not be
used for review requests or blog tours.

My thoughts: This was an extremely edge-of-your seat and thrilling read but with a eye-opening message of just how desperately we need funding for our veterans when they come home after serving for our country. It’s one of those books where you have to constantly remind yourself that you are reading fiction and not reading something out of the news, though this truly could have been pulled right out of the papers.
