Beth Revis dialed it up for Full Speed To A Crash Landing! What a great introduction to this series as we meet fiesty and slippery Female Main Character, Ada Lamarr. Despite being stranded due to a hole in her ship, she has a space suit with a Jaxon Jet. A JAXON JET! And she has a mouth on her. I giggled out loud and said, “Oh boy, Beth Revis dropped the F-bomb in a book!” (OH my!)
Ada is indeed a slippery charater and a very unreliable narrator. Or is she? She captivates her rescuers or at least some of them – especially Rian White, who can’t tell whether he should trust her or not. (Or kiss her.) Ada lures him in with her forwardness and confidence and tells them enough of the truth that they trust her. And her Jaxon Jets. Her ability to risk her life to a job done seals the deal. She and Rian play quite the game of cat and mouse, but who is the cat and who is the mouse is often up for grabs I could not put this book down. Read this novella if you love:
>Space Heists
>Feisty FMC
>Worldbuilding
>Plot Twists
>A MMC who hates being double crossed
>Excellent supporting cast
>Lentils
>Epistolic Writing at the end
This is the first book in a Trilogy, so there is more to come, and I am here for it. Here for but waiting impatiently.
