Line of Sight (Athena Force)

by Rachael Caine

The Athena Force is back!

Fans of the canceled line Silhouette Bombshell will be ecstatic to see that the Athena Force is back in action when they discover Rachel Caine's LINE OF SIGHT, the first book in 12 book continuation centering on the Athena Academy. In the true spirit of Silhouette Bombshells, the heroine is intelligent, strong and sexy. The adventure is fast-paced and suspenseful.

Students from the mysterious Athena Academy have been abducted. These female students are trained to be the best and have highly developed skills. These three girls have become targets for FBI special Agent and Athena graduate Katie Rush has been called to the scene. Have the girls been the victim of a sexual predator or has an enemy of the Athena Force devised a plan to bring about the school's downfall?

Stefan Blackman has a vision of the kidnapping and offers his services after flying to the scene of his vision. Can he be trusted? Katie might have her doubts, particularly when he was looking at her from the moment she arrived at the airport and keeps watching her but he may be the only means to complete a rescue mission. Can she combine her investigative skills with his psychic abilities to rescue the girls, particularly when clues show this might be more than an average kidnapping or abduction? The two must figure out whether this is a kidnapping or abduction, who is behind their disappearance and rescue them.

Rachel Caine's book is a fun light read full of adventure, romance, and suspense. The characterization is strong and the chemistry between the hero and heroine draws them together as they work to solve the clues, both psychic and more mundane, to rescue the hostages. The already suspenseful atmosphere of this book might have been heightened if the author had interspersed some of the fascinating details with little hints and more shadowy details more from the beginning and scattered throughout. Nevertheless, Line of Sight is a great read and Bombshell fans will be thrilled to know the Athena Force is live and well and on a mission!

From the back cover:

After three Athena Academy students are kidnapped, FBI special agent Katie Rush is first on the scene. The Athena grad will stop at nothing to make sure the girls are returned safely—even if it means working with a psychic. This unconventional relationship is not ideal for a by-the-book agent, but Katie can't dismiss his dead-on revelations. Now in a race against time, with young girls' lives on the line, Katie must do something she's never attempted: Put her trust in a handsome stranger.
