Title: FREE SOULS

When your mind is a weapon, freedom comes at a
price.
The final installment of the Mindjack Trilogy is
here!
Four months have passed since Kira left home to
join Julian’s Jacker Freedom Alliance, but the hole in her heart still whistles
empty where her boyfriend Raf used to be. She fills it with weapons training,
JFA patrols, and an obsessive hunt for FBI agent Kestrel, ignoring Julian’s
worries about her safety and repeated attempts to recruit her for his
revolutionary chat-casts. When anti-jacker politician Vellus surrounds
Jackertown with the National Guard, Kira discovers there’s more to Julian’s
concerns than she knew, but she’s forced to take on a mission that neither want
and that might be her last: assassinating Senator Vellus before he can snuff
out Julian’s revolution and the jackers she’s come to love.
My take...
Although I have loved the first 2 in the series
(OPEN MINDS & CLOSED HEARTS), this one fell a tad short for me. Just a tad.
Not that I hated it...oh no. Not at all. It just wasn't as great as the first
two. I think it was the first half of the book which seemed to drag some. But
still, I adored this book and where the author ran with the story line. It
really is beyond different and unique and readers will love that about the
series.
Now there is a lot of action and suspense in the
story, it just seemed that it all occurred in the 2nd half of the book. Which
is great and all, but it seemed with everything going on, the pace of the book
felt smidge rushed in the end. But the twists and the turns and the revelations
are going to shock the readers. Double takes will be had…gasps will be heard…and
mouths will be gaping. The conclusion to the story will leave the readers shocked
to a certain degree…but I believe they will finish the trilogy with a happy heart
and a smile on their face.
Another aspect of the story I loved was the
growing relationship between Julian and Kira. Oh how I love them so very much.
And the pace the author took with them was spot on. The small moments we captured
of them was so sweet and touching. It was perfect. So, so perfect! And maybe,
just maybe, Quinn will give us readers a novella of them. Hey a person can
dream (and hope and pray and cross fingers). Right?.
Great ending to a great series. I just feel so
honored that Quinn asked me to read and review her wonderful books. If you
haven’t started this series yet get on it. You will love the storyline and how
it differs from a lot of the stuff out there. Then come back and let me know
what you thought of them all. I'll be waiting. ;)
