Book Review | Star Thief by Jamie Grey
Sometimes Amazon is an enabler and makes me buy books. This was one of them, and it was fantastic! From the exciting first pages to the tension filled ending this sci-fi book was such a good pick up and I implore you to go and buy it if you are looking for something knew like I was.
Blurb: Stealing another galactic secret will get her arrested, but playing by the rules might just get her killed.
At twenty-three, Renna Carrizal is the most notorious thief in the galaxy. There's just one problem - all she wants is to get out of the business. But after Renna rescues an injured boy on her final job, she finds herself on the run from the mob instead of enjoying retirement. She unwittingly becomes ensnared by MYTH, a top-secret galactic protection agency who offer her a choice - either help them on their latest mission, or spend the rest of her life on a prison ship. Forced to work under the watchful eye of handsome but arrogant Captain Finn, Renna learns the former mercenary-turned-hero has a few dirty secrets himself. As Renna works to discover the truth about Finn's past and keep the tantalizing man at arm's length, she unearths a plot to create an unstoppable army. The target? The human star fleet. Now Renna must pull off the biggest job of her career - saving the galaxy. And maybe even herself.
Review: So let's start with Renna. She's literally the most amazing kick ass woman ever. We find her on what she calls her last mission, as she's the star their she's widely hunted, and then she's going to retire for good. However, one little boy changes everything.
She's forced to join a government team and everything just goes from bad to worse from there. There's action, there's romance, sex, drugs, and so much tension you'll never want to put this book down until you have finished it.
One of the things I did like was how so many storylines crossed and the fact that Jamie has written Renna's sexuality so easily. She makes everything seem normal even though for some people it would be a bit out there.
Needless to say this book will be forever staying on my kindle for me to read again and again.
Rating: 4.5/5
