Because one of my favorite authors, Sarah Addison-Fox, has released a new book!
And I apologize in advance for any typos in this post, I'm kinda fangirling really hard right now, lol.
Because Sarah is awesome, I get to give y'all my review of this awesome book, so let's get started!
Retrieve
Author: Sarah Addison-Fox
Genre: Fantasy adventure romance
Content: Violence, a few bad words sprinkled throughout, concern of what unsavory men will do to Hadley if she's found out.
Synopsis:
What if the job you took to stay alive might be what kills you?
Kade knows what it is to suffer. He knows what it's like to lose everything and everyone around him.
His job in a Stormer Unit guarantees not just his survival in the decimated country of Azetaria, but his sister Meg's. Even if it means facing the Numachi warriors baying for his blood, he'll do what it takes to keep her safe.
Hadley is alone and surviving the only way she knows how. By hiding where predators won't find her and scavenging enough just to keep her alive.
When desperation drives Hadley to search for her missing brother, she mistakenly accepts the offer of recruitment into the Stormer's camp, only to be partnered with Kade and sent as a scout into Numachi territory.
The intimidating young Stormer may just know where her brother has gone. But can they stay alive long enough to find him?
What I Thought:
This was AWESOME. It was reminiscent of Blades of Acktar, in the best ways. Hadley and Kade were amazing protagonists (both of whom I want to snuggle in a blanket and put them in the "safe character space" corner because please let them rest they're tired). Knowing this was going to be a romance just meant that I shipped it immediately and while nothing really happens with it in this book (I'm sure it's going to get serious in the next ones), there were some really cute moments. My shipper heart is happy.
But really it was also an awesome adventure that I could see as a movie, 100%. Kade is a kick-butt boy who's secretly soft and sad and I love him. Hadley is a scared girl who can climb really well and is generally distrustful but when she trusts she trusts completely and I love her. I just love them both and love them together a lot okay there were a lot of cool fight scenes but also some good Soft scenes that I highly appreciated. Gosh, I'm easy to please. Give me a scene where one love interest falls asleep on the other's shoulder and I'm set. xD
Also THAT ENDING. *screams for next book*
So yeah. Highly recommend.
Overall rating: 4.5 awesome fight scenes out of 5
