NYPD Negotiators #2
Character driven team attempt to prevent violence by prisoners on Riker’s Island when hostages are taken during a riot. Gemma and her team, the tactical assault team, department of corrections, and others are all involved in the solution. but Gemma and the other negotiators are on the front line doing their best with words to prevent loss of life. Will they or won’t they be successful?
What I liked:
* Gemma: negotiator, seasoned NYPD police officer, from a family of policemen and one fireman brother, skillful, driven, competent, takes things personally.
* Logan: tactical team member, went through police academy with Gemma, strong, determined, focused, lethal, bright, still wonder if he might one day be a potential love interest for Gemma
* Gemma’s family: the little we saw of her father and brothers makes me hope to see more of them in the future
* The people that Gemma worked with – felt they were cohesive, friends, competent and skilled
* Getting to see into the working of negotiators
* That the focus was on how one person, Gemma, dealt with the situation she was working
* The writing and plot
* Wondering about how bad Riker’s actually was/is
* The gang element of the story and how it impacted the situation
* That not all wearing “white hats” were as good as they should have been
* That the outcome was mixed…a win in some eyes but perhaps not in all.
* Knowing that there will probably be another book in the series to look forward to
What I didn’t like:
* The hostage situation occurring in the first place BUT with this series…hostages have to be taken ;)
* The indifference some showed
* Knowing that negative behavior on the part of people “in charge” does occur in real life
NOTE: Not a dislike BUT a comment…this story focuses on Gemma and her part in the story. We don’t learn much about her team, the team members on the 12-hour shift she was not working, what is happening inside the prison…but that is fine…just a comment. We are seeing and experiencing what one person does and how she relates to it rather than an omniscient view.
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest Review
