It will never be said that Konrath's novels are boring. I'll tell you
that. From the second you start reading this book it's knock down, drag
out action. Spree starts exactly where Flee left off. I loved Flee.
Spree was just as good.
I don't want to go into too much detail
in case some haven't yet read any of the Chandler series. Basically,
Chandler is a super secret spy working for a government agency that
almost no one knows exists. She needs to save one of her 3 remaining
sisters from a black site. Complications arise as they always do for her
and the action is full tilt ahead.
Love Chandler, love that
she's like a superhero. She has to be because the kind of butt whooping
she takes in most scenes she has to be. No normal person could go
through all of what she does. Still, it's awesome and fast paced and
exciting to read through.
I think my one complaint is all the
weapons talk. There were so many different guns and knifes I had no idea
what was going on. I'd have had to stop every few pages to look up what
they were talking about. So... for me that was a little bit of a
downside. AR-7, Ghost Hawk knives... it was all over my head. I got the
9MM reference though.
I love the characters. I love the new
characters that were introduced. I had wanted to read Ann Voss
Peterson's Pushed Too Far before reading this one but the time
constraints were a lit tricky to work out. I'll definitely be going back
to read that though. I believe a lot of characters in this were also in
that novel.
I'm very excited for Three, the next (and maybe even the last) novel in the Chandler series.
