Edge of the Storm: Book 2 by Lisette Kristensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“The sad thing about betrayal, it never comes from the enemy.”

Francesca, or “Sonic” has been training for the time when she will have be in the field as a Katsa for the Mossad. After escaping her past and being given a chance by May, or “Jet”. It is now on her shoulders to figure out how to put the skills to the test. Much sooner than she was expecting she is thrust into a situation where she is the one that needs to save Jet this time.

“Jet was the best Mossad had in the field. But her gaze made her feel like I missed something. She never relaxed around Jet, it felt like she was being tested constantly.”

“That is all Francesca needed to hear “head out”. To be a spy, find the bad men and do some good.”

Will Sonic be able to save Jet before she becomes the next victim of Jihadists? Or will her life, and thousands of others, be ended before she even gets a chance to try?

“No guarantees, follow orders and mission first.”

“The only visions filling her mind was the slow-motion replay of Jet getting ambushed.”

I found this novella to be almost too short. It made me feel like I was missing a lot of back story, or like I was missing something in general. I felt like if it was just a bit less rushed and had some more background info on Francesca and Jet, I would have been able to focus on the book more than I could. This is the only reason I marked this as a four-star read. Otherwise, the story had a great concept, and action-packed drama. This is the first book I have read by J.E. Vassar and will definitely be looking into more of her work, the longer ones anyway.
