I have a great review posted for the book I promoted on Friday.
Dragonflies: Shadow of DronesDragonflies: Shadow of Drones by Andy Straka

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to admit that I was not looking forward to reading this book. The saving grace was that I knew the book was short, and I was hopeful that it was a quick read. Science fiction and thrillers often don’t set well with me, and I am honestly not sure why I agreed to review this book.

Well, I have to say that this author has almost done the impossible. That’s right–I found myself completely drawn into the story, and I was quite distraught when the book ended so abruptly. I want to know the outcome of the story, and I connected with the characters to a degree.

The best part of the book is that there is very minimal profanity and no sex scenes! Yes, it does deal with rape, but there are no details in the account. Thrillers and even science fiction books often come well-equipped with these two issues, and I want to support this author since he left out these elements.

So if you are not a fan of thrillers, I still invite you to check out this book. It is very timely in light of the current news (we hear about drones and technological advances quite regularly), and the book is short. In other words, you won’t invest a lot of time into the reading of the book, and you just might find yourself pleasantly surprised.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
