Lights Out // Book Review

About the Book:

CIA analyst Brynn Taylor developed a new program to combat terrorism, and she invited members of foreign intelligence agencies to America to foster cooperation between countries. Now one of them, Egyptian spy Remon Riad, is missing.

Jack Hudson has been working for the Strategic Neutralization and Protection Agency (SNAP) for almost nine years and takes the lead in hunting down the missing spy. But he isn't at all pleased to find out Brynn is involved. It's hard to trust a woman who's already betrayed you.

Every lead they follow draws them dangerously deeper into an international plot. Kidnapping, murder, explosions, poisoning--the terrorists will do anything to accomplish their goal of causing a digital blackout that will blind a strategic US military communications center and throw the world into chaos.

Can Brynn surrender control to a man who doesn't trust her? And can Jack ever get over what she did to him? The fate of the world--and their hearts--hangs in the balance.


My Review:
Lights Out is book 1 in a new series by Natalie Walters and the first book I had read by this author. I wasn't sure what to think of this book going into it. While I do like suspense this book just sounded so much different, but I ended up enjoying it. It definitely wasn't a favorite though but I probably will continue the series.
The one thing that kind of bugged me was when Brynn and Jack met the president of the United States. The president was a fictional person. I didn't expect one of the past presidents to be written into the story I guess I just assumed the president in the story would just be referred to as "him" or "the president". Instead the president was a woman. It just felt weird to me and not very believable seeing as how there's never been a women president.
It wasn't a big thing I just thought it was an odd thing to put in the story.

**Thank you to Revell for the book in exchange for my honest review
