Hostage by Sherwood Smith, Rachel Manija Brown
5.0
I loved Stranger a lot and read Hostage right after it, eager to see what happened next. I wasn't disappointed. Hostage is impossibly, even better than it's prequel.
It had plenty of exciting and wel written action scenes, good character development for every POV character from the first book, a new interesting POV character that I loved and a very compelling story.
Kerry was a nice addition to the book and seeing Las Anclas from her point of view was one of the best parts, the influence it had on her as a character and her actions later in the book was really nicely done. The change was gradual and natural and the ending was perfect.
The relationship between Mira, Ross and Jennie is extremely refreshing and nice to read about. There's no fighting over Ross and no jealousy, the girls are still great friends.
One thing I did miss was Felicité. Her chapters were absent from this novel and her story wasn't further explored (which is understandable with its focus on Ross as a hostage and Kerry in Las Anclas) Still, I hope to see more of her soon in the series since I enjoy her as a character.
