About Book: Do you know what happens when you steal someone's hope? You break them. A tip ... find out what a person's version of broken looks like before you break them. I've been told mine is unpleasant." (Anna Croix, just now)Why is Anna broken? Because Spike has gone missing in Central America. Right when her life was finally starting to get put back together.

Figures. Naturally, she sets out to find him. How hard could road tripping through three of the most dangerous countries in the world with a truckload of weapons possibly be? Harder than she thought. Which is why she enlists the help of some unlikely allies—some of which might be planning to kill her. Kill being a lose term. More like torture to death or blow to smithereens.

Semantics. Unless she's not able to find him before they find her ...Things she can worry about later. Right now, she has havoc to wreak, kingpins to unseat, and ... hearts to steal? Justice will be served.

My Thoughts: Burned by S. M. Reeve is the third book in the Anna Croix Series, and I have read the first 2. I have been eagerly awaiting this book as I absolutely love SM Reeves writing style and the books are action packed. So, the pressure was on right from the very start.

I love Anna as a character she is sassy, brave, strong but with a hint of ironic humour and wit and the book did make me smile in places. This book is every bit as good as the previous ones in the series and although can be read as a stand alone I highly recommend you read them as well, as they provide added insight and depth to Annas character.

Burned is a seriously fast paced action packed, adrenaline pumping thriller, that I needed to run to keep up with. Reeves way of telling a story is superb and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what will come next the whole way through the book, and if you think you know, think again. It has so many surprises keeping you on the edge of your seat all the way through.

In conclusion, an action packed, fast paced thriller that will keep you enthralled and wondering whatever can happen next. If you love thrillers with action and adventure this is one for you and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
