Book Review: Sundown by Susan May Warren

    Sky King ranch is a place where adventure and danger seem to be around every corner. In this book, Colt is trying to protect a woman named Tae. Tae has developed an antidote to a plague. Men wishing to weaponize this plague are now after her.

    I honestly have a hard time writing any type of summary for  this book because it is quite confusing. It might be because it's part of a trilogy, but it definitely starts in the middle of a story. There is no solid starting point within this book. Because of this, it took me a while to catch on to what was happening. I'm hoping the first two books would make this less confusing to returning readers, but I have not read the first two books. 

    The book is also very far from believable. This isn't always a bad thing, but it did add to the confusion within this book. A lot of the action seems "choppy" in the sense that it's one thing after another with little lead up to the action. From the moment you open this book, someone seems to be consistently in immediate danger.

    While the action is back to back, it is written very well. The fighting scenes are well-described and easy to picture. The romance is a little cheesy, but in a way I really enjoyed. It was predictable and gives a "feel-good" vibe I enjoyed.

    While this book was a little confusing and far from believable, I thoroughly enjoyed the action and romance. I would not recommend this book as a standalone read, but I would suggest trying out the series. I myself am intrigued and will be after the first book of this series if I find the time. If the prior books make this book less confusing, then it would make it all worth the read. 

I received this book for free from the Revell reviewer program in exchange for this honest review.
