And I didn't see anything special about her or what she did for him. Really? He was supposed to be a hardened mercenary, not a naive young man or an idiot.

Even before he has met her, he's willing to sacrifice his life and his 'team's' life for her. But had he not been so good with proper emphasis and great tone, I wouldn't have made it as far as I did. I look forward to reading Echos at Dawn, so I can officially meet Grace.The narrator was excellent, but the book dragged, maybe because he read it slow. But again, Shay seemed to crave feeling babied, feeling like she was being taken care of, so eventually, I ignored it. Almost to the point of reading corney or cheesey. It went from Shay, to baby this, honey that a little too quickly for me. I was surprised at how quick the emotions felt for each other changed from “Thank you for saving my life” to “Let me show you how much I thank you” he seemed to take on the “boyfriend” role unrealistically fast. Nathan was a bit possesive, but Shay didn’t seem to mind it as much as I did reading it, so I guess all is well. It took me a little longer to get into it due to the fact that I would only read at night, and any one who works, with kids, knows that once the head hits the pillow, it’s lights out. I love suspense, but honestly I had never read suspsnse intermingled with romance. I am happy I read it, this book made me interested in a whole new genre. I haven’t been sucked into suspense yet or in a while like I have Echoes at Dawn. Grace and Rio were a perfect match I couldn’t see another character completing him. I didn’t cringe once as I read, asking why did she do that. Banks wrote a character you definitely want to root for in Grace. I jumped right into the series, the action drawing me in from the prologue. Rio puts his trust issues aside to trust one person, Grace and Grace puts her faith in the man who saved her from her physical and mental demons.īookswagger Marcia: I enjoyed getting lost in Echoes at Dawn. Rio falls for Grace although he does not see how she will ever love a guy with a past as grey as his. Rio and Grace bond coming down the mountain and in his Brazilian home the one place he feels she will be safe from the fraction after her and internal KGI issues.

Things get hairy when Grace and Rio find themselves on a mountain surrounded by two groups of killers with a common goal of extracting Grace. Grace had no idea her sister had sent Rio from KGI to rescue her. She misses her sister Shea with whom she has a psychic connection, a connection she served to protect her from the dangers that accosted her.

Forced to heal person after person depleting the last of her strength she finds her at her weakest point. She just wants to die after escaping her physical and mental prison. Echoes at Dawn (KGI Series #5), Maya Banks
