If futuristic urban fantasy thrillers hits the top of your reading list, then you need to check out this new book called The Operator by Kim Harrison. This is the second book in the Peri Reed Chronicles series that I was able to review and it’s a page turner from start to finish. Here are my thoughts.
The Operator by Kim Harrison
Series: The Peri Reed Chronicles
Publisher: Pocket Books (November 22, 2016)
ISBN-13: 978-1501149917
On-the-run ex-agent Peri Reed returns bigger and bolder than ever in this second highly-anticipated installment in #1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison’s new suspense trilogy, The Peri Reed Chronicles.
Peri Reed’s job eats her mind, but for a special task agent in hiding, forgetting the past can be a blessing.
Betrayed by the man she thought she loved and the agency who turned her into the very thing she fought against, Peri abandoned the wealth and privilege of Opti for anonymity riddled with memory gaps and self-doubt. But when a highly addictive drug promises to end her dependency on those who’d use her as a tool for their own success, she must choose to remain broken and vulnerable, or return to the above-the-law power and prestige she once left: strong but without will—for whoever holds her next fix, will hold her loyalty.
Yet even now as then, a love based on lies of omission might still save her life.
Review of The Operator by Kim Harrison
This is the second book in the series and this story proved to be just as exciting as the first. Because of the way the author tells the story, it is definitely a must to read the first book, The Drafter. Even though she is extremely good at blending in the first book, your understanding of the story will be more in-depth by reading these books in order.
The author has an amazing imagination and tells the story from a future that is full of heart-pounding action, deception, plus twists and turns that leaves Peri struggling to know who to trust. With unique and strong character development, you think you are getting into the heads of those involved, but the author keeps the reader on our toes every step of the way.
In-depth detail, including some gore and dark aspects, makes this a book that is consuming and highly engaging. Not for the faint of heart, but a read that is powerful and memorable. I cannot wait for what part three will bring from this author’s vivid imagination.
