Book Review ~ Loose Ends (Unit 28 - Book Two) by Jennifer Haynie

Loose Ends is the second book in the Unit 28 series by Jennifer Haynie. Mixing international terrorism and espionage with family secrets and classic romance, this suspense novel has a little bit of something for everyone.

First off, if you haven't read the first book in the Unit 28 series, prepare to spend the first several chapters trying to make sense of the characters, a there isn't a lot of background information given. This isn't really a bad thing, but it did mean that I found myself double-checking a chapter or two back sporadically just to make sure I had all the details running right in my head.

In Loose Ends, we find Alex Thornton and Jabir al-Omri called in to help bring down a couple terrorists that they happen to have a not-so-pretty history with. Meanwhile, one of the bad guys has made it his personal mission to take down Alex out of vengeance for said history. So the hunter becomes the hunted - on both sides of the world. Throw in a double-crossing spy and long-buried secrets, and Alex and Jabir find themselves up against a lot more problems than they originally bargained for.

Heavy in dialogue and multiple sub-plots, I wouldn't really consider it a fast-paced thriller (although the last third of the book moves much faster than the rest) - but it does have a very rich and complex storyline that makes it worth the wait. With Christian undertones and values, this book should sit well with mature audiences from both a religious and secular standpoint. However, I would steer clear of passing this one on to the young adults in your life, due to (mostly vague and relevant) descriptions of sexual interest and possibly incestuous desires. 4/5 stars.
