Yet another great KGI book! I must say, this one was very emotional for me. I have always really liked PJ because I knew there was so much there and I was dying to get to know her. Man... I wasn't disappointed! Now I am ready for more!!!!

3.5 Stars. I really liked Penelope Jane and Dave Coltrane but that "sloppy" work that lead to PJ being captured was BS. It made KGI look like newbies as well as the 6 month gap. That caused the loss of 1/2 a star.

Shades of Gray was such a spectacular read and it definitely fits with the vibe of the rest of the series but I will say that this installment, is significantly darker than the previous books. And I would say that you need to check the trigger warnings on this. I can't believe I am saying this for a Maya Banks, but yeah you will need to because I was blown away by one of the scenes and what happens to the heroine in this one here. But Maya Banks does occasionally delve into the darker elements sometimes. I really found this one to be such an interesting one. I love a female military badass heroine, and Maya Banks wrote PJ so well. I don't always go for the alpha females, but I really adored this heroine in many ways. I did love her strength and courage, I enjoyed her tenacity and taste of revenge. I did find the hero so wonderful. How devoted he is to PJ and willing to stand by her but also let her do what she needs to do but stand by her even though you could see his fierce need to protect her. The way that the whole KGI team stands by her really showcases the type of relationship that black ops teams have for each other. I will say that the romance felt not quite fully satisfying, there is a lot that happens in the plot here and so it affects the romance as a whole, and while there are aspects done well, I do wish there was more built-up with the emotional elements.
Overall I was delighted by this installment and eager to continue with the series!

It's a nice book, but I didn't like it as much of the rest of the books of the series. Mostly I didn't like P.J. all that much. On one hand, she wasn't feminine enough for me. And I don't mean her wearing dresses or liking girly stuff, I was glad she was different that way, but I wished she was more guided by her feelings, and that she analyzed everything the way most women seem to do. On the other hand, her physical strength seemed to be exaggerated even for the KGI books standard. I would have liked her to be more human in that aspect. And the whole cold-blooded vengeance was a little too gray for me.

Riskante Vergeltung hat es für mich total in sich gehabt.
Endlich ging es um Cole und P.J.. Direkt zu Anfang ging es heiß und knistern zu. Die Spannung zwischen den beiden war zum greifen nahe gewesen.
Doch der verpatzte Einsatz hat es nicht nur für die Charaktere in sich gehabt sondern auch für mich als Leser. Das Ganze ging mir direkt mit unter die Haut.
P.J. weg und Cole fast mit am durchdrehen, denn er kann nicht glauben dass die Frau seines Herzens einfach verschwunden ist.
Doch Maya Banks foltert ihre Leser nicht allzu lang und die Ereignisse überschlagen sich schon bald. Und P.J. muss lernen das ihr Team wirklich hinter ihr steht und die Vergangenheit sie nicht einholt. Doch ist ihr Team bei einer neuen brenzligen Situation auf Leben und Tod rechtzeitig zur Stelle?
Herzklopfen und Gänsehaut sowie ein Wechselbad der Gefühle bleiben hier nicht aus. Total in die Geschichte gefangen musste das Buch schnell gelesen werden. Heiße Erotik und ordentlich Spannung waren hier gut zu finden.
Ich kann es kaum erwarten den nächsten Band zu lesen.

Similar in feel to Echoes at Dawn. Includes the novella "Softly at Sunrise."
