The Tech: a Fascinating FBI Thriller

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. First off, I would like to thank Dawn Hill Publishing for allowing me to read this book and to Mark Ravine for writing this book.

The Tech is an FBI thriller that will have you guessing until the last page. The pacing was neither too fast or too slow and was perfect for this type of book. I fell in love with the characters, especially Alexandra and Mike. Oh, Mike, I am at a loss of words for him because I did not know if he was helping them or if he was helping the bad guys (if you want to find out which you will have to read the book). I did not see some of the twists coming, especially at the end. Dear Mike, if you wanted to prevent Alexandra from being almost killed again, you should have told her your little dark secret earlier. Although in hindsight, it makes sense.

My only quarrel with this book is that the chapters are too long, especially with the page breaks, I kept thinking the section was over only to find out that it kept going. Depending on the device you read, chapters are anywhere from over 60 (on my computer) to over 80 (on my phone). The most extended section I had ever read before this book was 20 pages, so it took some getting used to, but in the end, I pretended that it was to add to the suspense of the novel. Thankfully, there were only 13 chapters, so thank you to the author for doing that.

I feel like I would have no problems reading more books from this author if Mike and Alexandra were in it because I loved every moment with that because it felt so human when those two interacted. I was yelling at the pages that Alexandra should just tell Mike that she had feelings for him. Honestly, they made the book for me, and they will always have a place in my heart.

While there were a few grammatical errors unless Dry is some jargon in America for Doctor or there was some joke that I missed? The writing was exquisite although I did have to puzzle out what some words meant as I had never come across them too often, it did not take away from the thrill of reading it. Okay, okay, it was all because of Mike that I would have no problem reading this book regardless of what happens (just don't tell Mike, okay, and do not tell Alexandra).

The ending had me laughing because it was his apartment, but Mike should not underestimate Alexandra. The biggest disappointment was that the book ended because Mike and Alexandra were finally starting to get somewhere, and then it stopped before some things were resolved. I really hope there are more books with these characters because if there is, then sign me up, please.

I highly recommend reading this book if you're looking for a good FBI novel.

5 out of 5 stars (500 out of 5).
