3.5 stars

I have adored each book in the K9 series to date, and whilst I liked Explosive Forces, I didn't love it like I have the previous books.

It may be just me, but I didn't feel the connection between Noah and Carly. This may be because they didn't spend that much time together in the scheme of things. Don't get me wrong, the arson/firefighter part of the story was very interesting (I am a volo firefighter) but it took a bit away from our lovelies.

I am not going to lie though, I think Harley is by far my favourite of the K9s so far. I loved that he wasn't the perfect service/guard dog. He has a little bit of mischief in him, and I adored that. Made me feel a bit better about the way my dog behaves lol

I did like Explosive Forces but for me it just fell a little bit flat compared to the other books. But I am looking forward to whatever D.D Ayres brings us next.
