Tiger has finally
taken the first steps against the sinister forces experimenting on children for
their own dark aims. But more children are missing - and those experiments are
gaining ground: the some vampires are walking in sunlight
To finally stop this
she needs to bring down Ciara the sinister architect behind this. But Ciara can
change her shape to look like anyone and apparently has influence at the very
top of government.
This book is action
packed - we open with Tiger charging into battle against these sinister
facilities and it doesn’t let up from there
And it’s really
satisfying to follow with this book of concrete action and results after the
sometimes confusion of the previous
books. We had a lot of
random events before and a whole lot of confusion from the large scale, highly
convoluted and multiple levels of conspiracy that was exposed but still pretty
hard to follow in the last two books
Now we have answers.
Now Tiger knows what she is up against and what needs to be done. And this born
weapon is going to charge into battle and kill everyone she needs to do to
bring this world ending conspiracy to an end. She knows who is responsible, she
knows their sinister plans - now the investigation has finished and it’s time
to blow it all up.
And can I say now
that I was pretty wary of Tiger for a while - the fact that she was designed to
be a seductive assassin made me think of a lot of terrible tropes: but we dodge
that. She is a lethal trained commando and warrior: we have no lethal
seduction, but a lot of guns and explosions.
This does come with
some interesting moral quandaries: especially in relation to the experiments
here. I.e. the people these illicit labs have created, the babies, what they
are, whether they can be saved, whether they should be saved, whether they’re
acceptable collateral damage. All of this is extra poignant to Tiger, an
artificially created being herself who saw so many of her people, especially
the children whose ghosts she still treasures, were destroyed as being unfit to
live.
