The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising Book 5) by Nadia Han – Review by Kerry Carr

The Strategist by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 5 in the WaterFyre Rising series. Even though these books can be read as standalone Indo recommend reading them in order so you can get a more complete picture of the WaterFyre men and how they find themselves where they are now
I have enjoyed every book in this series and this one was just as enjoyable. The author has an amazing way of gripping a reader and making them completely invested in the characters lives. Another thing I love about these stories is that they are told from a duel perspective so you get a complete story from both characters and not just a one sided story
This is a story that is filled with drama, angst, hot chemistry, secrets and danger
Both of our lead characters Arrow and Vivian have had traumatic pasts but both of them are trying to better themselves despite their demons.
Vivian is a strong independent woman. She has had a lot to deal with in her life and things aren’t getting any easy as she is trying to locate a girl who has been kidnapped. With everything she has goes on the last thing she needs is romance and when Arrow approaches her she turns him down. However when they meet again she can’t deny the attraction she feels towards him. There is something about him she is struggling to resist but is it a wise decision to let him in?
Arrow has his own demons that he fights with everyday. He struggles to trust and let people in but there is something about Vivian. When he is near her the demons he fights seem to calm and he doesn’t want that feeling to stop. However she isn’t making it easy for him. She is resisting him at every turn. Can he persist and eventually break through the wall she has around herself?
When Vivian goes up against some dangerous people all Arrow wants to do is protect her but will she allow him close enough to protect her from this danger or will she keep pushing him away to protect herself from the danger giving him her heart could cause?

This story is captivating and gripping. I wanted them to find peace and happiness they deserved together but it wasn’t an easy ride for them. I couldn’t stop reading.
