winecellarlibrary 's review for:
The Raid
by Steven Konkoly
This review is also available on my blog: Wine Cellar Library
First, I would like to thank Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer Publishing for providing me with a free Kindle ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
Having read [b:The Rescue|41632412|The Rescue (Ryan Decker #1)|Steven Konkoly|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1538808789l/41632412._SY75_.jpg|64969169], I felt that this book was much better. The prequel had left me with some nagging questions. The current text doesn't have the same plot holes that I felt The Rescue had. My only complaint, really, is that there never is any resolution whatsoever to the presence of the five children in the desert who are found by the Border Patrol agents at the beginning of the book. Who were they? What happened to them? How did they have anything at all to do with the cartels, or the story in general? It felt as if their existence was created purely for shock and awe.
Action books are not my personal favorite, but this book kept the action level high and was full of comedic banter between characters, so the entertainment was definitely there. I could see this series being picked up by Hollywood with actors like Jason Statham and Liam Neeson.
Still hoping for a spin-off series centered around Harlow and her badass team! They are the real heroes in this series!
