Review: Life Flight

✩✩✩✩

EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton is used to high stress situations, but being forced to land on a mountain in a raging storm with a critical patient--and a serial killer on the loose--tests her skills and her nerve to the limit. She survives with FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield's help. But she's not out of the woods yet.

In the ensuing days, Penny finds herself under attack. And when news reaches Holt that he may not have gotten his man after all, it will take all he and Penny have to catch a killer--before he catches one of them.

Review: In terms of suspense, this book is amazingly filled with unexpected twists and turns. When you think you have it all figured out, the author throws a curve ball and the plot completely changes direction.

 

There is, however, one detail that derailed me a bit from the flow of the story, which is the fact that despite Life Flight being book one in the Extreme Measures series, most of the characters have apparently known each other for years and keep referring to past events and situations we are given little detail of. Instead of starting at the beginning of a series, I felt like I had landed in the middle of an on-going story instead - and I was missing bits and pieces here and there. 

Because of the above, the romance between Holt and Penny also felt just lukewarm. They have been dating on and off for two years and finally have their happy ending in this book, but either they did have the time to get to know each other in the past or they take a leap of faith on their relationship, because in this book they really spend almost no time together - and a large part of that time one or the other seems to have doubts about the real chances of actually being a couple...

So, overall great for the action and suspense - in that respect, Life Flight is indeed a page turner - but don't expect too much in terms or romance.

Romance-wise, this is a clean book. The mature content comes from the serial killers and the abundance of dead bodies in the story...

Happy readings!
