I love this series, but it could really use a dash of reality now and then. I understand it is fiction, but it is so over the top sometimes it is hard to get through. This one really lost steam at the end too.
Lucy Kincaid is only three months into her new FBI career when she and her partner are assigned to a DEA taskforce. Raids on drug dealers are underway and arrests are made. But Jaime Sanchez, a known drug and gun trafficker, escaped during the raid. A child that was picked up during the raid tells Lucy that a young boy had recently been chained in the basement of the house. The child helped Michael Rodriguez escape from her Uncle Jaime. Now it's up to Lucy to find young Michael and learn why he and other boys were chained in the basement.
In the 8th book of the Lucy Kincaid series, Lucy gets herself drawn into a war between the DEA and a drug Cartel. The opening of the book with the raids kept my interest; but the story slowed down in the middle with so many meetings and updates between the FBI and the DEA. When the action started to pick up again, Lucy decided that she did not need to follow the rules when it comes to rescuing kids. I just had to roll my eyes at some of the stuff she gets away with. On the plus side, we finally got to see Sean Rogan's brother, Kane, in action. Rescuing Americans in Central and South America is his specialty. Lucy turns to him for help with a rescue in Mexico.
This is a good addition to the series if you suspend belief that Lucy could get away with some of the things she does. My rating: 4 Stars.
