Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, book 3) by Amy McKinley – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forged by Secrets is book three in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. This book book was intensely nerve wracking and had my anxiety levels at a high level. The foundation of this series was set in the previous stories, but I have to say that Tyler and Malina stole every thought and feeling from me, making the other stories fade into the background slightly. Tyler was this strong SEAL and the games he played with Malina were funny as well as endearing. While it was frustrating for Malina, I loved the dickens out of it. Malina was an extremely guarded woman, but you get why as you get further into the story. She wants what everyone around her has, but it seems out of reach for her and Tyler. She is not prepared to take the risk on admitting her feelings. She believed she could not afford to be weak. Her and Tyler together were a bigger force than even she could have anticipated. When guards are dropped and true feelings are laid out on the table, all bets are off and Tyler goes to battle for her, all guns blazing.

Amy McKinley has the crafty ability of just unveiling enough to get a reader thinking thy know what will happen without giving it all away. All with an intense subtlety that takes incredible skill. The suspense will stretch every nerve and the anticipation will almost break you. But you will be enthralled, thrilled and blown away by these characters from this special ops team. I love this series, but Tyler and Malina hold that special spot in my memories. 5 stars.
