Goodreads Review: Exit Strategy
May 28th, 2008
Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’ve read all of Kelley Armstrong’s fantasy books and finally picked this one up when it came down in price on ereader. I knew before I read it that it wasn’t remotely supernatural so, unlike many other people, I didn’t waste the book wondering where the werewolves or vampires were.
I really enjoyed Exit Strategy more than I expected to since I don’t generally read a lot of crime. I got a feel for the main character, Nadia, very quickly and her relationship with Jack was pretty interesting; mentor/student with a hint of sexual tension. One thing I definitely enjoyed was that, while Nadia does get into the odd fight, she did not get so badly beaten up that it’s a miracle her body didn’t simply shut down like the heroines in some other modern novels.
The only thing I was disappointed about was that the book ended at all. I very much wanted to keeping turning the page and get more. I did read somewhere that Kelley Armstrong was a little discouraged by fans not enjoying it as much as her supernatural series (mostly because they were silly enough to think that it was the same genre), and I sincerely hope that she continues this series. Great characters, just enough character history to make me want more, enjoyable plot. Can’t wait for the next one.
