This is the best of the series so far. A solid thriller with multiple POVs, a tense chase across international borders, and a tense cliffhanger! I hope there's a 4th book soon!

I found Reaper: Drone Strike to be good, but not great. It was fun and entertaining with a great action sequence at the end. However, I had a hard time engaging with the first 3/4 of the book. I'm not entirely sure why, but I felt like I was missing out on context and that things were jumping around a bit. I've read the other books in this series, so it wasn't that I felt out of the loop. Rather I just couldn't get into it as easily as I wanted. However, I was rewarded for sticking with it in the last 1/4 of the book, which really took off with intense action and a satisfying conclusion. Also, the characters were solid and I really liked Alessandra (I'm a sucker for strong female characters) and Clutch. So overall it's a good book, but not quite up to the level of the best in the genre.

Look for my full review on my book blog! I have a condensed w/o spoilers version (below) and an expanded version with minor spoilers (blog).
I had a great ride with this story. With intriguing villains and a kick-ass female character, this fast-paced book kept me reading! The characters and imagery were written nicely, and I even turned my opinion around about a certain character I disliked at first.
I went in thinking that there was going to be a lot of things I couldn’t understand, but the authors lay out and explain a lot of the machinery, equipment, and other terminology quite well. In the end, I was felt silly being worried in the first place.
A fast read. There is plenty of action to go around with multiple different characters. Harwood, Sassi, Tankian, and Max are the main characters and each of their POVs are written out very nicely; their ideologies, their way of thinking and strategizing, their background…
Enjoyable read and kept me well entertained for days! This book is the third book of the Reaper series and ends in a cliffhanger to be picked up on in the fourth book.
5/5 Stars

I received this book in a Goodreads giveaway.I really wasn't sure if this is the type of book that I would like... but really I was pleasantly surprised.
There is a lot of military jargon here, but it ends up being explained pretty well, so I knew what was going on.
Harwood, the Reaper, is the hero here, and he is really a hero. He seems able to antipode everything and is able to do almost anything sets his mind to. I don't know enough about snipers or Army Rangers or really anything to be able to tell you if this is accurate or not.
Sassi, one of the characters with a viewpoint in the book, is the damsel in distress type, but actually seems able to save herself when the need arises. She bothered me the most of the characters though, because she made stupid decisions that got her into trouble in the first place. She also thought that because her mission was for the greater good nothing would happen to her... and that seemed a little childish of a viewpoint. Regardless, I think she grew on me a bit.
You get to see many different character perspectives in the book, which is something I like because it reads almost like watching a tv show.
There was enough action and drama in here that I did find the book difficult to out down in some instances. I ended up really enjoying it and may continue to read these! At least I know that I won't shy away from the genre anymore.
