Review of "In The Air Tonight," by Stephanie Tyler


In the Air Tonight
Book Description
With danger closing in, all they have is each other.

Haunted by a mission he barely survived, Delta Force operative Mace Stevens still carries a soldier’s burden. Running a small bar in upstate New York, he remains a stone-cold warrior who guards dangerous secrets and stays ready for anything. Anything except beautiful, vulnerable Paige Grayson, who shows up at his door, demanding answers about her heroic stepbrother’s death under his command.

Haunted by a mission he barely survived, Delta Force operative Mace Stevens still carries a soldier’s burden. Running a small bar in upstate New York, he remains a stone-cold warrior who guards dangerous secrets and stays ready for anything. Anything except beautiful, vulnerable Paige Grayson, who shows up at his door, demanding answers about her heroic stepbrother’s death under his command.

Paige bears burdens, too. She’s plagued by demons unleashed by an older brother who committed mass murder before her eyes. But here in this snowy haven with Mace, she almost feels safe from the menacing promises of her insane sibling. As a nurse whose hands can read the deepest thoughts of anyone she touches, Paige knows that Mace needs her as desperately as she needs Mace. And when a faceless killer begins unleashing fresh terror, Mace proves just how far he will go to save the woman who means everything to him.

My Thoughts:

I already read the first two books of the series, “Lie to Me” and “Promises in the Dark” and was addicted instantly. Just like the other two, “In the Air Tonight,” did not disappoint. Mace was such a dominant yet vulnerable character. I tend to be drawn to books with strong male heroes and Stephanie Tyler delivers. I simply could not put the book down. Page after page, moment after moment, I was spellbound. I love how she follows two to three story lines at one time. While you’re following one, you can’t wait to get back to the other. Page’s special ability adds a certain amount of unexpected flavor that was very inviting. The action feels real and exhilarating and I would certainly recommend this book to people who need to get caught up in their novels from the get go. I will caution those of you who do not like strong language, that there is language in this book. Although personally I do not use language in my own writing, it does not detract from the fabulous story that I always expect from Ms. Tyler. I give this five out of five stars.
