A review by harmony
Eagle's Heart by Alyssa Cole
4.0
I am completely embarrassed to admit that I mistook Albania for Algeria and was getting rather annoyed at all the white-coding of characters from Africa. My bad. This book featured a Black heroine, a Latina bestie, and queer secondary characters, all of which were done right, without needing to make a big damn deal out of any of it. What a pleasure!
The plot itself was thrilling. A highschool teacher gets in way over her head while trying to help an abused student. A FBI agent on the heels of a notorious gangster from his past runs across a beautiful woman whose life is being torn apart as collateral damage. Sparks fly and the two of them team up to save the day. Wonderful.
