Helpful Score: 7

I am a big fan of both Leigh's S.E.A.L. series and the Elite Ops books. "Heat Seeker" had the potential to be another great addition to the series, but it fell pretty short for me. Bailey and John seemed like cardboard cut-out characters until you get three-quarters of the way through the book. The plot, again, had the potential to keep a reader riveted, but in actuality, all it did was confuse me. There were too many players in this game, it seemed. But these are all minor gripes compared to the one big grievance I have with Lora Leigh: she NEEDS to either hire an editor, if she doesn't have one, or fire the one she has. Awful. I'm still a fan, but the more I read her books, the more galled I am by her continuous misuse of words, character dialogue mistakes and other mind-baffling errors. I will continue to follow Leigh's work - seems as if Jordan Malone may star in the next installment - but I'm praying in the meantime, she undergoes a major editing overhaul.
