My Review:

Shock and Awe picks up one week after Hide and Seek ends. I highly recommend reading the series in order, especially since there were threads that continued into this story.

“Shock and awe is when you surround your enemy and overwhelm them so they have no choice but to give up...it’s a classic military strategy.”

I am trying to decide what I can say without giving spoilers! While this story has a new mystery, another mystery is woven throughout the series' three books. I can only imagine that it will be an epic conclusion!

This is another fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat mystery novel. I love that it picked up right where the first book left off. I love that the main characters are the same, while the mystery is not. It is difficult to figure out who is in charge of all the mayhem. I highly recommend this one, and I immediately started the third book. This is a perfectly binge-worthy series.

★★★★/5
