Full Speed to a Crash Landing by Beth Revis

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

A fast-paced heist adventure novella with a clever rogue main character.

I giggled and kicked my feet through this whole book. The balance between plot and character development is perfect. The pacing is fast, the world building is really well done. The banter between our FMC, Ada, and the man in charge of the mission, Rian, is top tier.

The ending of this book really elevated the whole experience. I wouldn't say it ends of a cliffhanger, but it definitely leaves you wanting to know more. Which is great! Because book two comes out in December and I will definitely be reading it.

Let's also take a moment to recognize the amazing narration work by Dara Rosenberg. Dara narrates the first 95% of this book from the POV of Ada and does such a good job of showcasing when the character is being sarcastic, or bratty, and also when her vulnerability accidentally comes through her armour of nonchalance. David Bendena voices Rian at the end of the book, and I hope we get more from Rian's POV in the next book because I'm so interested to know his thoughts on this whole adventure.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for this ALC.
