ARC Review: Going Dark by Monica McCarty


Going Dark is slang for cutting off communication, in military terms it mean not the loss of communication but dropping it in favor of something that can’t be monitored. In Monica McCarty’s Going Dark we follow SEAL Team Nine and their final mission. They were betrayed and forced to go dark and let the world think they are dead until they can find out who was behind the betrayal. They split up to follow different leads, Dean goes to Scotland to track Russian sub activity, all he has to do is lay low until the time is right.

Annie Henderson is a marine ecologist, she came to this little Scottish island to peacefully protest the start of off shore drilling. Annie has a strange feeling the entire time, something does not feel right and she doesn’t trust her boyfriend’s mentor. It doesn’t help that the extremely sexy dive boat captain is very distracting and just increases her paranoia of the whole situation. Turns out she should have back out when she wanted to because instead of camera equipment in the cargo hold she finds explosives. The only person she can trust is Dan the Dive boat captain even if she knows he’s not telling the truth about himself. Together they have to brave the rough waters and the eco-terrorists that blamed the death of three people on Annie and Dan. In desperation Dean does the only thing he can do break radio silence and ask his CO for help.

Annie and “Dan” are opposites but the sexual chemistry is strong enough they don’t care. For me that’s all there was, I didn’t get them, I could not see them past the sexual chemistry. I didn’t really see anything that made them seem like a lifelong couple; especially since Dean still is in hiding. All the time they spent explaining to each other why they are the way them are and the events that helped shape them and the arguments about being liberal and conservative were really annoying.

Overall, I am curious about what happened to SEAL Team Nine but Annie and Dean did nothing for me. It was good on action and the SEAL Team issue sounds really interesting, if the future books have more of that in the story line I would love to read them but if they continue like this one, nope.

ARC Review: Corrupt by Jessica Prince


Corrupt is the first book in Jessica Prince's Civil Corruption series and features Garrett and Gwen. This was my first Jessica Prince book, but I have seen a lot about her books before and wanted to give this one a go. There were things I liked here, and there were things that didn't work as well for me. While I had mixed feelings about the story, I would read more from Jessica Prince in the future. 

Garrett and Gwen share a night together and it changes their lives forever. But while Garrett is a rich and famous rockstar that is in his own world, Gwen is forced to move on and deal with the consequences that life has dealt her. They are tied together though and now that Gwen is forced to deal with Garrett daily, she finds her walls starting to crumble even after everything that has happened. 

I found it really hard to like or relate to these characters at times. They were flawed and drove me nuts, but I did have moments where I felt like there were glimmers of hope for them. For much of this book though Garrett was pretty much a jerk, and by the time he was redeemed it was somewhat too little, too late. I really wanted to like these two and be able to root for them, but there was just so much that went against that. They had chemistry and there were moments that I did like them. But ultimately I struggled with them and how their relationship happened. I never felt like we really saw them fall in love and that made it hard to believe in a forever for them. 

I really did want to like this one, and like I said there were moments here that I did. But overall, I just struggled and that made this one just okay for me. I do think that I will give Jessica Prince another chance in the future, as I did see a lot of promise here and I enjoyed her writing style. It was more the story and characters here that didn't fully work for me. I have seen a lot of readers that loved this book though, so I think that it is worth taking a chance on if it sounds like one you might be interested in. Just because this one didn't work for me personally doesn't mean that it won't work for you. There were just a few things that I had trouble getting past, but it could be one that you love.
