My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an enjoyable story from two great authors. This story has a little bit of everything in it from sitting on the edge of your seat suspense to nail biting revenge. Shane and Emme took me on a journey of building bonds and facing dangers that they may not be able to see coming. I enjoyed both of these characters and the growth of their friendship. Will they break each other’s barriers and realize that they are better together? I highly recommend this book to find out what happens to them.

Deadly Alliance is an exciting Fortis/Purgatory crossover novel by Maddie Wade and India Kells. When I heard that two of my favourite authors had got together and written a crossover novel, there was no questions asked, it was a no-brainer, I just had to read it!! I love the Fortis series by Maddie Wade, as well as the Purgatory series by India Kells- so the thought of combining the two was incredibly exciting for me. I must admit that I had a lot of expectation for this book and I am happy to say that the authors didn’t let me down- although I don’t exactly know what I had been expecting, because I went in blind, but they delivered much more than I had hoped for. From the gorgeous cover, to the incredible writing, to the action-packed and gripping storyline, and the fantastic characters- this book has it all!!!
This is a romantic suspense- with action, adventure, emotion, danger, thrills, intrigue, mystery, undercover ops, drama, intense chemistry, tension, serial killer, teamwork, spice, and romance. The authors managed to hold the tension and suspense at an elevated level throughout the book- which kept me guessing and had me flipping pages to find out what happens. The brilliant twists and surprises also elevated the thrill level up several more notches.
Shane Rhodes and Emme Wallace are highly skilled agents from the two different teams, who find themselves undercover and posing as a married couple in the hopes of flushing out a serial killer, whose body count is mounting. As one of the victims is Shane’s best friends’ little sister, the investigation has a personal aspect that drives Shane- and he’s determined to hunt down the killer. But the mission is a bit more complex than just solving a murder, testing them, and resulting in some electrically charged moments, intense action, and heart-racing suspense- that makes this story soar!!
The authors styles compliment one another, as I couldn’t tell which parts were written by whom. The story was polished and really well blended, and the whole thing felt like it had all come from one mind- which is testament to these authors writing skills and compatibility.
I am hoping that these two will team up for more crossovers/stories in the future, because this book works on so many levels and I love how the two worlds combined! But in the meantime, I will continue to devour everything that they produce, either individually- or together!!
Brilliant!!!

Thank you, Ms. Wade and Ms. Kells!

5 out of 5 stars

The story Deadly Alliance: A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover Novel by Maddie Wade and India Kells is an amazing crossover book that I absolutely loved reading. It is a book that hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put down until I had read the final page. It has an atmosphere of suspense and mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is a page turner that is action-packed. Both the Fortis and Purgatory covert agencies are working together on this case and it is one that includes danger at every turn. I loved reading about the characters of Shane Rhodes and Emme Wallace. This case is personal to Shane and he is determined to find the serial killer who murdered his best friend’s little sister. He is an agent that is calm under pressure and knows how the undercover game works. So when he is teamed up with Emme who he believes to be young and less experienced he at first finds it hard to trust her. Emme is a woman who has been chosen to be in the line of fire on this mission. She may be young however she has the confidence of her mentor and others. When Shane and Emme meet they both affect each other more than they will admit. She is a distraction and she finds him very attractive. They soon find a passion and connection between themselves. Will they admit to their feelings for each other or will they push each other away? Are these two soulmates that have found each other? A serial killer is on the loose. Will they be caught before more lives are taken? Read this story to find out. This is an amazing story that I highly recommend. It is wonderfully written and a pleasure to read. There are some steamy scenes that are included in this story that will make the temperature in the room rise. I enjoyed reading about the other characters that make up the Fortis and Purgatory teams and how they banter/interact with each other, Shane, and Emme. Don’t miss out on this book.

Deadly Alliance: A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover Novel by Maddie Wade & India Kells. Wow, I just love the Fortis Series but have not read the Purgatory series (don’t worry I intend to after this book), but this book is a fantastic read and the crossover is done extremely well. Good work ladies! The Fortis group are family and with just the few characters from Purgatory I already like what I have seen and I certainly look forward to the new group that Maddie and India have indicated maybe coming (well I hope that it is coming). There is never a dull moment in this book, action, you betcha, drama, yep, murder and mayhem, definitely, hot alpha men, oh yeah, kick arse women, sure is and they all come together in one compelling, enthralling, engaging and fantastic story. Maddie and India have worked their magic and come up with something that is magic.

Book 7

By Maddie Wade
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a suspenseful romantic story, with a twist of adventure.

Megan Bennett secretly has fallen in love with a forbidden friend of her brothers. Just a one night stand has come to mean so much more to her. After all she is an adult, soul don’t she be allowed to love who she wants? Now she is stuck with keeping the secret or facing the music. Oh and let’s throw in some suspense and you have a story.

Daniel Thompson should stay his path and keep his heart out of it. His priority is keeping his daughter safe. He has already lost his wife, and the mother of his daughter. Running a security company is more than enough to keep him busy. Now his best friends sister has taken a part of him. All this and add someone out to kill them all.

Maddie Wade has done it again. Her stories are so intense. This series has proven that. I love her characters, but more then that, I love how their stories come together. This is a must read series. Can’t wait to see where she takes this series. Job well done !

Phoenix Rising is book seven in the Fortis Security Series by Maddie Wade. I like this series with each new instalment, and have to say that Daniel and Megan’s story is the best so far. It was edgy, packed with action and bursting with passion and danger.

Megan and Daniel face a rough road, and the attraction he fights is both entertaining and frustrating. Maddie Wade draws out the intensity expertly and maddeningly. Burning with the relentless urge to know all the mystery surrounding their story, I turned the pages way too quickly. I did not want their story to be over. I could have read about them for days more. A story bursting with heat, sexiness and energy, Phoenix Rising is a must read. 5 stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Imagine my surprise when I finished this book and found out that it was book 7 in the series. The beginning few chapters referenced characters that were clearing introduced in other books and I had my suspicions that I was missing something. However, I was able to understand the story line, so I continued reading. I could tell which characters were clearly the good guys and which ones needed to go. Other reviews say that this can be read as a stand-alone, I don’t really agree because you don’t get the back story of Rhea Winslow. Even Megan’s back story isn’t told in this book. So, I definitely think the books should be read in order. I do think this book is worth the price. Since this is my first book by Maddie Wade I am intrigued enough to read the others in this series.

This story was adventurous and dangerous and sexy. Daniel and Megan are hot together. I am not sure if these two are in the other books but wow they are good in this one. The other characters, the rest of the Fortis Security team, are amazing, entertaining, loveable. I know I am going to read the rest of this series. You should too!

Phoenix Rising: A Fortis Security Novel Book 7 Maddie Wade is yet another great addition to this great series. I have been waiting for Daniel’s story and I must say I was not disappointed. Good work Maddie! I have fallen in love with each and every character in this series whether it is the alpha males who will stop at nothing to protect those they love and consider family, or the wonderful women who are able to tame them. Maddie is an accomplished writer that writes stories that are engaging and compelling and leave you wanting more. Her characters make you fall in love with them and make you feel like you are part of their lives and their families. This story is full of action that will have you on the edge of your seat and oh so sexy scenes that will see you needing cigarette. I will be sad when this series comes to an end but in the meantime I look forward to Will’s story next.

I have been following along on the Fortis Security series journey and so far I have not read one that I didn’t enjoy. I would recommend that you do read them in order that way you can fully understand exactly where these characters have been, are going. There is some intertwining storylines that may be a bit confusing if read out of order, but I could also see where an experienced reader wouldn’t mind reading a few out of order.

In book seven, Phoenix Rising, we follow along on the journey of Megan and Daniel. Oh Mylanta! I felt for these two so deeply! Both of them endured some horrendous traumas. Love was the last thing on their mind, but fate and life often has plans in store for us that we don’t see coming. They each have many layered and complex personalities. Daniel is a complicated man. What you see is not necessarily what he is all about. There is way more under the surface to this man. As for Megan, I just wanted to give her a squeeze several times throughout the novel. She is such a sweetheart, but she definitely can hold her own. She does struggle to find her place in this world now that she is post her trauma.

Their story will keep you on your toes between the hot and steamy love scenes that will have you fanning yourself and needing a tall glass of ice water (or wine), and the intrigue and mystery that takes place for them as well. I look forward to see what will come next in this series.

Phoenix Rising is the seventh book in Maddie Wade’s Fortis Security series. I fell in love with her writing AND the series with the first book I picked up and now I am following her on all possible platforms in order not to miss the next book! Please do not read this story as a standalone; you will miss so so much!
Phoenix Rising is the story of Daniel – second in command at Fortis Security and a widower and a single father – and Megan – a doctor and one of the Bennett siblings (who you will have met in previous books if you are a fan like me). The chemistry between them is combustible and nothing can stop it! This story is filled with emotion, secrets, grief, anger, danger and love … Every book in the series pulls you further into this intricate world that the writer has created and that she keeps adding to … it leaves no one cold and an outsider … you get invested in the people and the relationships and the stories and … you cannot wait for Digital Desire that is the next one in the series!

5 Stars

Phoenix Rising by Maddie Wade is the seventh installment of the Fortis Security Series. This installment is about Daniel Thompson and Megan Bennett. Although Daniel can be very protective, he has a soft side. He is very attracted to Megan Bennett, but he is trying to restrain his feelings for her. Megan is not only beautiful but she is also warmhearted, charitable and intelligent. She is always ready to help others. Megan is also attracted to Daniel and the chemistry between them is palpable. Be prepared with a fan because here will be some scenes while reading that may cause you to fan yourself? While this story is a romance, the whole book isn’t lovey dovey, there is also danger. Megan is in a dangerous predicament, will Daniel be able to save her? Will Megan’s dangerous predicament bring them closer together and finally have a happily every after? The only way to find out is by reading this story. I truly enjoyed reading Daniel and Megan’s story. Although I have read a few books from this series, I have not read the complete series sequentially. I recommend this story and series and plan to go back and read the series in order.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Phoenix Rising, the seventh book in the Fortis Security series by Maddie Wade, is a military themed romance that follows characters that have been introduced throughout this series with each feature a specific set of individuals with overlapping secondary characters that support the characters. The overall theme that carries through this series is very well written, but each story could be read separately noting how well the author has laid out the book(s). I do recommend reading each story that is a part of this series, as it creates a very in depth and involved story to follow with great character development, suspense and, of course, romance that falls into the characters’ lives. In Phoenix Rising, the author immediately dives into the suspense and drama – Daniel and Megan are thrown together under less than ideal circumstances, but the sparks are undeniable. I found that Maddie Wade handle the ups/downs of this story/series with finesse and expertly carries the reader through the story. A great novel and series for those who love action tied in with suspense and romance.

Phoenix Rising was a great 5 star read and book 7 in the Fortis Security Series.

I loved this book and it’s characters. You get pulled in right from the beginning with the prologue, my heart just broke for Daniel and his daughter.

We jump ahead a year when Megan is in a serious accident, but was it an accident? And Daniel is struggling with his feelings for her, which come out tenfold when he sees her at the accident scene. He is no longer willing to worry about what his best friend and her brother will do when he finds out how he feels.

After their one night together Megan couldn’t get Daniel out of her head and heart. But he was treating her like she didn’t exist, not understanding why. She then discovers something that will change both of their lives, how will he react to the news?

This man was probably the most dangerous man in the world to her, part of her knew she should run, but the bigger part of her wanted to curl up at his feel like a contented kitten.

We move forward with this great read, to encounter more secrets along with more dangerous twists and turns, especially when the past comes back to haunt Megan. Will Daniel and the Fortis Security team be able to keep her safe? This was an on the edge of your seat, nail biting read. I read this in one sitting, I just couldn’t put it down. I really loved all of the secondary characters, they are like one big family. I’m super excited to get my hands on the next book in the series. I highly suggest 1-clicking and getting started today on this great series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Phoenix Rising is the seventh book in the Fortis Security Series by Maddie Wade. This is a romantic suspense- with action, adventure, emotion, danger, thrills, intrigue, mystery, special ops, secrets, loss, guilt, grief, camaraderie, belonging, drama, second chances, intense chemistry, facing fears, and romance. But, let’s face it, Ms. Wade had me at the mention of Daniel Thompson- I have been intrigued by him and his story since meeting him back in book one. So, I was excited to get my hand on this book, reading avidly right from the very first page, till the last word. I was completely hooked- I read it in one sitting and loved every word.
I have loved everything about this series, with each book outdoing the one before it- this book has become my favourite out of the series so far- but then I have said that about every book, they are all sooo good. This could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading the previous books to get all the relevant backstory and character introductions that will give you a better understanding of the series and characters, and will enhance your reading experience- not to mention that the other six books are fantastic stories in their own right/s.
This story picks up where Arctic Fire (Book #6) left off, and centres on Daniel Thompson who is an Ex-SAS Commander and the second in charge of Fortis Security. He is a widower and single father to his adorable daughter Paige. Daniel has had more than his fair share of heartache, carrying the burden of guilt and pain over the death of his wife. He is a man of few words, an alpha with a fiercely protective streak. His number one priority is to ensure his daughter stays safe, and to find a way to avenge his wife’s murder. He isn’t interested in a relationship, focusing on his family and ‘job’. So, he is totally unprepared for the effect that his best friend’s younger sister would have on him.
Megan Bennett is a brilliant doctor (scientist) who is coming to terms with being reunited with her loving family after more than 20 years of forced separation. She was raised by a horrible, vile woman- but thanks to Fortis Security who extracted her, she has is now back with her true family. She has had trouble adjusting- never having experienced a loving family environment, belonging, or love. She feels that Daniel is the only one who truly sees ‘her’- and he has captured her heart. But there are secrets that jeopardises everything she holds dear. What does the future hold for her and Daniel?
Ms. Wade certainly doesn’t do things by halves, and she certainly makes her characters ‘work’ for any happiness- there were points where I think ‘How much more can they take?”- Daniel and Megan have been through so much, and again in this story they both will be tested. As with every book of Ms. Wade’s that I read, she held the tension, intrigue and suspense at an elevated level throughout the book- and kept me guessing most of the way through- she expertly added twists and surprises that also ramped it up a few more notches. I adored the ending, and that epilogue is everything!!!
This is a quick (180pgs), easy and fast-paced read, and is a superb addition to the captivating series!
I can’t wait to read Digital Desire, the next book in the series!

Thank you, Ms. Wade!

Tightrope 2 is a continuation of Tightrope by Maddie Wade. The main characters are Hunter and Lexi. Lexi has some struggles leftover from her previous relationship that hinder and endanger her, as well as endanger her son, whom is fathered by Hunter. This story is told from the POV of both characters, and I really liked that! I also LOVED that this story was equal parts steamy, and suspenseful! At no point was I bored. This story is definitely intended for mature readers! Tightrope is the first work I have had the pleasure of enjoying by Maddie Wade, and I give it 5 stars!!

Tightrope: Book 2 by Maddie Wade ​is just as good as the first book if not better. I think I need me a Hunter. Like the first book this one equally evoked many many raw emotions. The story is told in dual POV, which I just love because you get so much more depth from the characters and what is going on. This is a short heart wrenching, heartbreaking, heart aching story that just blows you away. After finding out all the lies and pain and suffering was the work of an evil man who hid it well, is shocking. Suffering by those same hands is unthinkable. Losing everything you just found is unbearable. OMG this story is sooo good. Maddie knows how to write a story that you can not put down and the plot will blow you away.

The  story is told in dual POV, which I just love because you get so much more depth from the characters. It is a short heart wrenching but pull a punch story line that has a dark and terrible twist that just has your emotions so raw.

This book was the perfect conclusion to Hunter and Lexi’s story. I was anxious to read Tightrope: Book 2 after the ending in the first book; I just had to know what was going to happen next. The beginning had me a little worried but by the end, I didn’t want this book to end. The writing was so good that it kept me on the edge of my seat knowing that Lexi’s ex-husband wasn’t done. But I didn’t see that climax coming.

Hunter and Lexi’s love was put to the test, multiple times in this book and it was amazing to see how Hunter wasn’t going to give up without a fight. Highly recommend this duet but make sure you buy both books at the same time.

Maddie Wade has given us a gift – Tightrope – and she is leaving us hanging, with an epic cliffhanger!!! Please, for your own sake, get BOTH of the stories at the same time as you will need it! (I had the second book waiting when I started on the first one!) I fell in love with Maddie’s writing when I discovered her Fortis series and she has simply taken it up a notch in this Tightrope series/duet (well, you can see how I hope there will be a spin-off, another story, something….)
In this first book we get introduced to Dean and Lexi who are married but the marriage is no longer what it used to be … Dean is no longer what he used to be … and Lexi, she comes to the point when she needs to take a deep look inside and decide whether she will stay faithful to the memory of the man her husband used to be or will she need to rethink it all and take what she needs …
The story is told from two points of views and it makes it especially heart breaking and it takes us on such a crazy rollercoaster ending with a … cliffhanger …
I will leave you with the opening words of the story as they tell you everything you need to know to make yourself to pick up a copy:
“God will only give you what you can handle, or so they say! If that was the case, God in all his infinite wisdom must have thought I was a complete badass. That, or he had a piss poor sense of humour.”

Tightrope: Book 2, by Maddie Wade, is the conclusion of Book 1. This author is truly a mastermind in her story creation and layout. This novel truly holds a bit of everything: allure, chemistry, disgust, anger, lust and more. As I read along following Lexi’s story and the path(s) embarked, it was beyond words on how to explain how fully the author captured the emotional swings. By the time I finished, I couldn’t believe what had transpired throughout Book 1 and Book 2. This story was amazing by the time I crested through the final chapters. Brilliant and not close to what I had anticipated when I began.

Tightrope: Book 1, by Maddie Wade, is a thrilling suspense. The author’s writing style feels eloquent and draws you into the story, page by page, to find yourself fully immersed into the story. The story was appealing after reading the synopsis, but what you get is much more in depth and suspenseful than anticipated. When is enough enough within a relationship and when does some hit their breaking point? This story encounters that in a way that is deliciously received with a hint of something darker rounding around one of the corners. This story was truly captivating.

5 Stars

 

Tightrope #2 is the second book in the Tightrope Duet by Maddie Wade. It is the highly anticipated conclusion to the brilliant story that began in Book #1- the one that had me so twisted up in knots, and that had slammed my emotions around from one page to another- the same one that had ‘that ending’!! I was sooo desperate to get my hands on this book, because I NEEDED to find out what happened. This story really is everything I could have hoped for, and definitely every bit as good as book #1- but again, so full of surprising and unexpected developments that had me twisted up inside, again- while I devoured the pages, on this incredible ride. This story picks up where the last one left off… and drew me in, right from the beginning. I am having trouble finding the words to do it the justice it deserves… It’s really superb!!!

So if you haven’t read book one, you really need to do so before starting on this story, because of the continuing storyline.

I always love everything Ms. Wade writes, and I really think this duet is one of her best pieces of work- and one of my firm favourites.

I wonder what Ms. Wade has in store for us next? Whatever it is I am certain it will be excellent!

 

 

Thank you, Ms. Wade!

Tightrope Book Two by Maddie Wade is the conclusion to Lexi and Hunter’s story. Book one has to be read before reading this book as it picks up where book one left off. I couldn’t wait to read this book once I finished book one and I was definitely not disappointed.

Lexi is heart broken. She didn’t expect her life to turn out this way but she’s decided she’s going to move forward and take care of what she needs to deal with. She isn’t going to be able to trust Hunter after everything he’s put her through and she’s come to terms with that.
That is until Hunter shows up and he isn’t giving up so easily this time.

Hunter really screwed up. He realizes the error of his ways and now will stop at nothing to get get Lexi back. He is determined to prove she can trust him.

Can Lexi and Hunter work through their issues and get back to where they were? Will Lexi’s past sneak up on them? Find out!

I absolutely loved this book. I can honestly say I didn’t see this book going where it did but it was so good!!

Arctic Fire (Fortis Security Book 6) – Review by Karyn Taylor

Arctic Fire (Fortis Security, #6)Arctic Fire by Maddie Wade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Arctic Fire is another 5 star read by Maddie Wade. I have only read a couple of her books so far but all have been 5 star reads. Arctic Fire is the 6th book in the Fortis Security Series. Each book in this series can be read as a stand-alone. Although all the couples from books 1-5 appear in this book, it does not matter if you have not read them. I had not read any of the other books from this series and it did not spoil my enjoyment of this one. All it did was make me want to go back and read books 1-5.
Maddie Wade writes amazing characters and lets you get right into their heads and feel everything along with them. Roz and Kanan (K) in this book are no different. Roz is the head of Zenobi, a group of female assassins who is out to kill Usov, an evil man who she was forced to marry but has now escaped from. Kanan Phillips is a former MI6 agent who now works for Fortis Security. 15 years previously Kanan had rescued Roz and fell in love with her although Roz does not remember this. A chance meeting years later sees Roz and Kanan spend an idyllic couple of months together before Roz disappeared.
Now Roz is working alongside Fortis to save a group of girls held captive by Usov and with the intention to kill Usov. Can Roz work alongside Kanan? Will she tell him why she disappeared and left him? Will she give in and admit that she is still in love with Kanan?
The chemistry between Roz and Kanan is on fire. I love how well written these 2 characters are. As the story is written from more than one point of view, we get to see what is going through both of their heads. I loved seeing Roz’s struggle to show that she was strong and did not need Kanan but at the same time fight with her feelings for him.
This book has everything you could want in a book. It is full of action and suspense which keep you gripped from beginning to end. Added to this is the romance between Roz and Kanan with its so many ups and downs. You just can’t help but hope that there is a HEA for Roz and Kanan.

Arctic Fire (Fortis Security Series Book #6) by Maddie Wade – Review by Angela Hayes

Arctic Fire (Fortis Security, #6)Arctic Fire by Maddie Wade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Arctic Fire is the sixth book in the Fortis Security series by Maddie Wade. Just when you think the series couldn’t get any better, Ms. Wade goes and pulls this out of her hat and blows the others out of the water. I love this series so much, and each book seems to outdo the one before it- but Arctic Fire is my firm favourite out of the series so far. It could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading the previous books to get a real feel for the series and characters, plus they are each superb stories as well. This has special ops, undercover ops, action, danger, drama, second chances, and romance. There really is so much going for this story that you really should discover all the details for yourself, I am sure you won’t be disappointed.
Roz Maklovoi is the leader of ‘Zenobi’, which is a highly skilled and deadly group of female assassins. She has come so far, especially since enduring the traumatic events of her past, the likes of which would have broken most other people and left them a shell of their former selves. But not Roz, she used her trauma and became strong, determined and deadly. But, as the life of a loved one is threatened, Roz discovers that the one responsible for her anguish has resurfaced- so she embarks on a dangerous solo mission that will test her skills and her mettle.
Kanan Phillips (K) is a bit of a lone wolf who has a past connection to Roz that he’s never been able to let go or forget. So, when these two are brought together again, he’s determined to protect her and not lose her again. What happened to Roz all those years ago? What is her connection to Kanan? How will this mission play out? Will they fulfill the mission?
Another incredible read from Ms. Wade and a brilliant addition to a superb series! I love the sneak peak at the end of the story….. I can’t wait for the next book!

Thank you, Ms. Wade!

Arctic Fire (Fortis Security #6) by Maddie Wade – Review by Jenni Bishop

Arctic Fire (Fortis Security, #6)Arctic Fire by Maddie Wade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Arctic Fire Fortis Security Book 6 (Fortis Security #6) by Maddie Wade and another great book to this series I have come to love and regard as family. ​There is non stop action in this thriller that starts right from word go and does not stop. Roz and K have had dark pasts that we have only had glimpses of throughout the series. I knew that their story would be that much darker than the rest but Maddie has does a great job in telling them. These dangerous and brooding Alpha men and deadly women bring their skills to finally chase down a down an evil the world can live without. But in doing so means that some will need to confront and face terrors of the past and that may not be as easy as it seems.

Maddie Wade’s Fortis Security series gets better and better with every book and I always feel saddened when they come to an end because they are so enjoyable. I am eagerly awaiting the next book.

Tightrope Book 1Tightrope Book 1 by Maddie Wade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tightrope by Maddie Wade was rollercoaster of a first book for me. This book will leave you screaming at your kindle because you can’t believe the way it ended and are in need of the next book. There were so many twists that I had to re-read a few chapters just to make sure I was reading things right. Your emotions will be all over the place; you will feel sorry for someone then by the end you will want to punch that person. I am not going to give anything away; I will just say that I couldn’t put this book down If you’re looking for a book that will suck you in and have you begging for more; highly recommend that you read this book.

Tightrope: Book One (Tightrope Series #1) by Maddie Wade – Review by Angela Hayes

Tightrope Book 1Tightrope Book 1 by Maddie Wade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Tightrope by Maddie Wade is a brilliant story that had me hooked right from the beginning. This is one of those books that has so much more happening in it than you expect. This is a clever, complex story that has surprising developments that you don’t see coming, but will keep you flipping the pages to find out what is going on. I have loved Ms. Wade’s Fortis Security series, so I was excited to find that this new story was out, and I had a lot of expectation for what I would find when I began reading. This is a story that I recommend going into ‘blind’- and let the author take you on a surprising and captivating journey. The story does end in a cliff-hanger and is set to continue in the next book- which I can’t wait to get my hands on!
Well done!

Thank you, Ms. Wade!
