The Syndicate Spy Author: Brittany Buttler @formerspy1 Publisher: Greenleaf Book Group Press Stars: 5/5 Wow what a spy thriller this books was. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved that the main character is a strong female lead who is also not afraid to show her soft vulnerable side. I wanted to add part of the synopsis from the author’s website that had me wanting to read this book ”The future: Earth’s oil reserves are depleted. Nations race against terrorists for control over alternative energy sources, and the Syndicate—a conglomerate of allied intelligence agencies—must put an end to the global energy war. Syndicate spy, Juliet Arroway, and her best friend, Mariam, a Saudi princess, are tasked to hunt down energy terrorists. When the Syndicate begins to suspect that Mariam’s family is somehow involved, tensions build and the carnage multiplies. When peace means a stunning betrayal, Juliet must decide if her mission is worth risking her own life as well as the lives of those she loves.” There are so many twist and turns in this story that I ended up buying the book and stopped listening to the audio version in part because I was not fond of the narration. The book is well written and it is obvious that that the author knows the “spy” world. This is generally not the genre of book that I read but I told myself that I was going to venture into new genres in 2023. I could never of imagined the final outcome. I am looking forward to more Juliet Arroway adventures! Thank you to @NetGalley for the Audio ARC that started my adventure with Juliet.

Butler's attempt at a spy thriller was confusing and poorly written. Honestly, how many times can we be told that two people communicated with just a look? Books like this are supposed to be unrealistic and overblown - see the Pendergast series, for example - and that's part of the fun. So I didn't mind that. But this one was just silly sometimes. Not one I can recommend. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. The story needed more background information on the energy situation and the syndicate. Found it very difficult to follow and be invested in the book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieJuliet Arroway (1)
In the near future, Earth's oil reserves are depleted. Nations grapple to find an alternative energy source. Terrorists race for control over world resources. And the Syndicate--a conglomerate of allied intelligence agencies--struggles to maintain peace. Syndicate operative Juliet Arroway and her best friend, Mariam, a progressive Saudi princess, are tasked with hunting down terrorists and putting an end to the global energy war, the same mission that cost Juliet's father his life. But when multiple terrorist attacks result in devastating losses, including the death of Juliet's longtime boyfriend, and the Syndicate begins to suspect that Mariam's family is somehow involved, Juliet must rise above her heartbreak to discover the truth. In her quest, Juliet is paired with Graham--a dashing yet arrogant FBI agent--and embarks on a dangerous journey toward love and survival as they race to obtain the formula that could solve the energy crisis. But when peace demands a stunning betrayal, Juliet must decide how much she is willing to pay for the success of her mission. Brilliantly weaving fact and fiction, Butler tells a story seldom told--how female heroics can change the course of war. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
