The Spy Coast
by Tess Gerritsen
medium-paced
WELL THAT WAS A RIDE.

This book wasn’t on my radar whatsoever until my Dad mentioned it to me, and told me, “it has plenty of romance.” Famous last words.
NOW. I wouldn’t call this a romance, at all (there is a sub plot dynamic that does play into the larger theme). I did like the dynamic though and was intrigued by where the story would go.
This book gave me Red 2 vibes. But add in flashback chapters and focus on mostly one character. I did love that this had multi-POV and felt that all of the POV’s played a part and made sense for the story. The audiobook was great too, definitely recommend that format.
The twists and turns of the second half were fantastic. I usually don’t love thrillers because it often comes across as, a lot of bad people doing bad things. I loved that this did have some good guys who were trying to do the right thing. Even with complications and mistakes, I loved having someone to root for.
Not disappointed at all in reading this spy book. I will be interested to see what the next book in the series will be about!
Overall audience notes:
- Spy Thriller
- Language: moderate
- Romance: fade to black
- Violence: high
- Content Warnings: murder, loss of life, gun violence, kidnapping a child, teen drug use
