My Review:
Wow give me a minute to catch my breath! What a thrilling, engrossing, action packed and scary read Sleeper 13 was.
This book seemed so real to me, I felt that all the action in the book could actually happen. The use of ‘the farm’ to train young children was really scary and quite a brutal method for such young kids. Even though I knew what they were being trained for I still felt very sorry for them as you could almost feel their fear of their teacher at times.
The story is told from the point of view of both Rachel, a M15 agent and Aydin or Sleeper 13. Rachel was a brilliant character who is obviously very good at her job and takes no nonsense from anyone, least of all her colleagues. I couldn’t believe that they didn’t believe her, especially given the increase in terrorism they are meant to be seeing! Her determination to push on and try and find out more about the terrorist group and their supposed plot was fantastic to read about and I really admired her drive. The two story lines helped give the reader a more holistic view of the story and I thought it turned into a bit of a cat and mouse came as events escalate and the two characters draw closer to each other.
This is a superbly plotted book with lots of action happening in many different countries which definetly kept my interest. There are a few slightly disturbing and gory bits which won’t be to everyone’s taste but is obviously, sadly, part of terrorism.
This is a fantastic start to a new series and I can’t wait to read the next installment! If you like thrilling, action packed and realistic thrillers then you need to read this book!
Huge thanks to Poppy Stimpson and Orion for my copy of this book and for inviting me onto the blog tour.
