BAD Agent Hunter Thornton-Payne is on a mission along with his own personal agenda. The assassin that robbed him of his best friend four years ago is back in play by the Fratelli organisation. While BAD’s interests lie with his own he is content to wait it out. When he meets Abbie Blanton and her quest for answers to her mothers mysterious illness, he sees a connection and opportunity that could lead him straight to the killer. With Abbie a target, he has to try to keep her at arms length and safe so he can find the answers they both need. Abbie has other ideas and is determined to help, leaving Hunter at risk of being hunted not only by the Fratelli, but BAD itself.
Silent truth is the fifth book in the B.A.D. series and I was really happy to see this book return to the excellent form of Bad Attitude. That’s not to say the others weren’t good, they were, I just felt there was something lacking that made the first book such an exciting read. Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love make a brilliant team and their love and pride of this series really shines through.
It was great to go deeper into the character of Hunter. When he appeared in previous books, he came across as a bit of an ass and that made me a little wary when I found out that he was the central male character. When I learned what made him become so, I realised there was so much more beneath the detached surface. Dangerous and highly trained yet hiding a compassionate heart behind his ruthless exterior. Very hot and definitely a character to fall in love with! Abbie was a solid and believable character as well, I loved her naivety despite what she had been through and given how strong and feisty she was, she was more than a match for Hunter.
The pace of the book was really good, well written action scenes and at times it was very tense. Of course that meant I HAD to keep reading to find out what happened which I can only count as a good thing. The way the sexual chemistry and heat was built up worked very well and left me almost as breathless as the characters.
The plot was actually quite intricate, several threads coming together that had been building up over the series and I got to see just how widespread the Fratelli organisation really was. I thought Linette’s character worked really well within it and I feared for her at every turn of events.
Now for the OMG NO! moment. I am still in denial and hoping for a miracle in the next book but as it stands, much kudos for it being so well played and emotional. It really got me.
I can’t say more than that without spoiling it but you will just have to read Silent Truth and find out for yourself. Enjoy!
