Wonderful story with the perfect amount of grit and violence.

I love Blackbird and Halo is next on my list, what strong kickass women. The journey that Blackbird started continues and she can fight. Love it. She is my hero. I can't wait to see where she goes and if there will be anything with Adam. Halo is such a harass and since she has taken Blackbird under her wing you know she will be the same. Game on can't wait for the next one. Thank you for this wonderful adventure.

Edge of the Storm was a great 5 star read and book two in the Silent Secrets series by Lisette Kristensen.

She hit like a hammer, and was deadly like a rifle.

I love Blackbird (Sloane), she is an extremely strong character and knows how to take care of things. We continue with her story and as she finishes her training she is paired up with Halo.

We get a little glimpse at Adam, who Sloane has developed a little crush on during her training. But fraternization is forbidden.

Blackbird and Halo end up in Rome, when something goes wrong and Halo goes missing Blackbird is part of the search team. We get a lot of non stop action and edge of your seat moments. Can Blackbird and her team find Halo before it’s too late? Can they stop the terrorists plans?

The sad thing about betrayal, it never comes from the enemy.

Overall this was a thrilling read. This cannot be read as a stand alone or you will be completely lost. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. Once I got started I couldn’t stop until I was done, and I’m impatiently waiting for the next book in the series. Thank you Lisette for another great read.

Edge of the Storm (Silent Secrets Book 2)
By: Lisette Kristensen
5 out of 5 stars

The story Edge of the Storm (Silent Secrets Book 2) by Lisette Kristensen is a thrilling book that will have you turning pages to find out what happens next. It is the next story in a series that had me on the edge of my seat unable to put the book down until I had read the final page. I enjoyed reading about the character of Blackbird. She is an intelligent and strong woman. When a routine contact mission goes wrong, she begins a search to find her partner Halo who has been taken. Will she find Halo? When it is realized that there is a threat to one of the Vatican’s most cherished treasures will she be able to stop those who are involved? Read this book to find out. Blackbird is a character that at times shows anger, fear, and frustration. She also has a fierce determination. I have read the first two books in the series and I can’t wait to read the next one. Highly recommended.

I give Edge of the Storm: Book 2 (Silent Secrets) by Lisette Kristensen, 4 stars.

This is the story of Blackbird, a rookie trainee in the Mossad. She left a life that was completely different from this, knowing most women do not make to the end of training. But she is determined. She's tired of the lies and deceit from her past life.

After finally making it through, her first assignment is with a fellow agent she respects, Halo. When things go terrible wrong a Halo is taken right in front of her, Blackbird knows she needs to be part of the operation to rescue Halo. She will not fail her partner.

This is a very short story filled with a lot of action with a bit of romance thrown in. The action starts pretty quickly and does not stop until the end. A story of the good guys trying to taking down the bad guys and what has to be done in order to succeed. It also showcases not one, but two very strong female characters in both Blackbird and Halo. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed my first book by this author. Her writing skills are creative and has the ability to make the situations feel real. The characters will take you on a few twists and turns that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. They are full of feistiness. This is about a terrorist threat made to Rome. Halo has come to Rome to mentor a new agent. When meeting with an informant Halo is taken prisoner. Her partner Blackbird is set on getting her back. I highly suggest this book.

Edge of the Storm picks up with Blackbird as she goes on her first mission with Halo in Rome. When Halo is taken, Blackbird has to put everything she has learned to save her partner. I am loving this series! The suspense, the action, the bada$$ women the story revolves around. The only thing I'd like to see is more action and a longer story!

Edge of the Storm (Silent Secrets Book 2) by Lisette Kristensen was an action packed thrill ride that had me gripped from start to finish. This was a taste of what I believe is going to be an awesome series.

Right out of the gate we're shown what these agents can do. Deadly, there's no other word needed to describe these ladies, deadly covers it all. Blackbird, is firece, I don't think I would have held up like she did. I want to read more about this character. She doesn't have much back story, but that added to her mystic, so reading the first book is a must, if you want to know more about this fierce deadly character.

This is a short read coming in at at about75 pages, making an already quick read, mixed in with the fast moving plot and action, over in a blink. I was left wanting more! The ending is a bit open, so I'm hoping that means there's going to be more to this world. Going back to the plot, it was pretty solid, there were a few shaky spots, but I believe that has to do with the short length. A bit more time on the key plot twist would have made the story that much more epic. I believe this short read would make a thrilling exciting full length novel.

I highly recommend you pick up this fast pace, action packed, thriller. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that this book will keep you on edge, keep that blood up and, make you second guest any new character that seem to be... unimportant.

Happy reading.

Edge of the Storm (Silent Secrets Book 2) by Lisette Kristensen

5 Stars

WOW!! This was written really really well. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to see what was going to happen.

Sloane (Blackbird) was an awesome character, You MUST read the first in this series to completely understand what is going on and how Sloane got where she is in this story. The action in this book was non stop. I followed it easily and although it was hard reading about terrorists with our world being the way it is right now, it was totally awesome watching the other side go after them. I was not completely sure about Halo at some points in this story but I ended up loving her as much as I did our Blackbird.

I absolutely must have the next in this series ASAP! Blackbird and Halo are AWESOME and I'm also very very curious whether there is any more to come for Blackbird and Adam.

Very quick read, full of content and very easy to follow. Will have book 3 as quick as I can get a hold of it and would love to read more from this author.

Amazingly Awesome!!!

Edge of the Storm (Silent Secrets Book 2) by Lisette Kristensen

Edge of the Storm is the second Book in the Silent Secrets Series by Lisette Kristensen and is a wonderfully written Book that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down till the end. I was hooked and at times on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next. I literally couldn’t read fast enough I had to know what was going to happen next. This book is packed with lots of adventure and action. Sloane ( Blackbird) is a strong and smart woman. What happens when a very routine mission goes wrong? What will happen when she realizes her partner Halo is missing? Will she find Halo ? Holy Cow this is a must read book,if you haven’t already read the first Book in this series I highly recommend reading it as well. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Edge of the Storm by Lisette Kristensen is the second book in the Silent Secreta series. This book is fast paced, intriguing and will have you hooked until the very end.
This is an author I have recently become familiar with and so far I have loved every book. This was definitely has to be my favourite though. The whole story had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen. It was full of twists and turns that meant you never quite knew what the outcome was going to be. I enjoyed Halo’s character. She was strong and commanding on a way that added to the story.
I fell in love with the cover of this book. It is eye grabbing and makes me want to read the book.
My only gripe, and it is a small one, is that I wish the book were a little longer. It felt like I had finished it all too quickly.
This is a great story and one I would definitely recommend.

Edge of the Storm
By Lisette Kristensen
4 Stars

This was a fantastic action packed story, one that I really enjoyed. I found myself hooked into this book from the very first page. I will say that I wasn’t 100% sure about reading this book but I am so glad that I gave it a go. The author did a great job and I felt like I was right there along with the characters. For a short story it is certainly full of action from the very start. I would absolutely love to read more about these characters. I loved that the main characters were women, I admired their strength, courage and the fact that they wouldn’t give up until they got what they wanted. I am really excited to read more from this series in the future!

Edge of the Storm is the second book in Lisette Kristensen’s Silent Secrets series and you absolutely should not read it as a standalone! Start from the beginning or you will be completely lost! The first book will give you all the backstory you need to understand who Sloan aka Blackbird is and who her boss Halo is!
It is a short suspense read that once again reminds us that the betrayal never comes from the enemy. I love our intelligent and strong a** woman Sloan who cannot be stopped when she is determined to find her boss/partner who goes missing when a routine mission goes FUBR! The story keeps us at the edge of our seat and at times it felt as if the writer is telling the story of the world around us today … I cannot wait to see what she has in store for Sloan next!

Edge of the Storm: Book 2 (Silent Secrets)
By Lisette Kristensen
Rated 5 stars

This is the second book in this series and all I can say is Wow! So fast paced and full of action! I really enjoyed this one! We get to see the first mission of Blackbird. It and the story completely enthralled me. The characters are smart, fit and have zero tolerance for fun. It’s all business all the time...well except that one brief moment. I feel these stories get better and better with each one I read.
In a side note I have to say...400 pushups? Dayum! That is impressive! I can only imagine the shape she is in. Well done to the author and I look forward to reading more about this character.

Edge of the Storm by Lisette Kristensen a fast-paced thriller of a four-star read. It was so fast paced you will read this in one sitting and your heart will need to rest afterwards as it will be racing. This was such a refreshing read, it has such strong female characters that you don’t see often in the circumstances of this story. The depth the author managed to get out of the characters in such a short number of pages was amazing. I will say the only downside to this book was the subject matter Terrorism is such a touchy subject right now and one I would have rather avoided but to be honest I’m glad I did as the characters overwhelmed any negative effects from the subject.

Edge of The Storm ( Silent Secrets Series #2 ) by Lisette Kristensen was a quick, action packed read.
I haven't read this author before so I'm not sure what genre they normally write.

This book might be a rough read for some who have issues with terrorism but if you can see past that, your going to love the book. Halo is a spy in Rome and is taken by a group of terrorists planning to destroy the Vatican and she is taken right in front of the others. Will Blackbird be able to come through and save her mentor?

The book was short since it was a Novella but was very fast paced and full of action. The way the book ended, this is not over!

Edge of the Storm is Book two in the Silent Secrets series by Lisette Kristensen. This thrilling read had me turning pages to find out what would happen next. I will say in order to follow the storyline completely you need to read the first book in the series. I seriously could read more about Blackbird and Halo and never get bored. They are both strong and well written characters. This is a fast and easy read that makes me want more books in this series.
I give this book five stars and patiently awaiting more books in this series, this author is quickly becoming a favorite of mine!

This action packed novella about Halo and Blackbird will grab your attention immediately. It moves quickly and is full of vivid detail. This is my first book from this author and I enjoyed it. The limited writing space does not hinder the character development or plot pace. Very enjoyable read. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Edge of the Storm by Lisette Kristensen is the second book in the Silent Secrets series. This is a short story that packs a punch. I really am enjoying seeing the transformation and growth of the character Blackbird. Also, despite the short length, there is a lot of story told. Characters are interesting and developed and the story is action-packed. I also enjoyed the story and the angle of the target being Vatican treasures. I look forward to more in this series.

by Lisette Kristensen

Oh how I loved this book!! This story was full of action and suspense. I love Blackbird and Halo's characters, they are strong women that can kick some butt. You should definitely read the first book so you know how we got to where we are in this book. The author does an amazing job bringing you into this story and keeping me on the edge of my seat, turning pages to find out what happens next. I can't say enough good things about this story and author so far as I get into this series. This is a must read and I can't wait to find out what's going to happen in the next book. I highly recommend this book!!

Edge of the Storm by Lisette Kristensen is a fast paced, action packed novella that truly did grab me right away. I enjoyed the strong female roles in the story and felt that the story unfolded very well. Despite being a short read, it was really descriptive and satisfying and I loved how it all came together at the end. The ending left me to question if there is more to come yet I was satisfied either way. I would definitely be interested in reading more from Lisette Kristensen, it was definitely an exciting read.

Good short

Likable lead character. Blackbird has a story to tell about her last get to come. But, the action and storyline works well as part of a longer story.

Edge of the Storm - a review by Rosemary Kenny

When terrorists plan a bomb attack on the Vatican's art collection, who are you gonna call? No, not Ghostbusters this time, but (somewhat surprisingly), the Mossad in Lisette Kristensen's Book 2 in her Silent Secrets series.
Experienced agent 'Halo' is sent to Rome to mentor and then partner with 'Blackbird' (who was the MC in Book 1). Things go badly wrong when Halo is kidnapped from an arranged rendezvous with a contact - but who knew she was there, except for Blackbird and the contact?  As this is her first mission, why is the novice agent Blackbird sent alone to rescue her 'boss'/partner-to-be? As the bomb plot is discovered, a more deadly part (involving Gigi), is uncovered. Can Blackbird find Gigi and defuse (literally) the situation that could have catastrophic implications for the safety of the Pope himself and the historic Vatican church he resides in?
With non-stop action and a great plot, you won't want to put this tiny (70 pages) novelette down until you reach the end. Get your copy of lisette Kristensen's Edge of the Storm today - and batten down the hatches in case the storm breaks nearby!

Edge of the Storm is the second book in the Silent series by Lisette Kristensen. This authors writing skills were creative and i was drawn in by the attention to details. The characters were very like-able and Sloane aka Blackbird is wicked and i kinda have a little but of a girl crush. There really is no other way of describing her that would do her justice. She is awesome. There were so many twists and turns in this book i was kept on the edge of my seat with my heart pounding, wondering what was gonna happen next. Terrorist threats and nonstop action kept this book on my toes. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and i would recommend this to a friend!

This is the second story in the series. It is a short story in pages but not in thrills for sure. I will freely admit that this is not my go to genre to read but it was definitely entertaining. I feel that the problem with stories this short is that you can't really get to know the characters so you don't form a bond but since this has some recurring people in it, I was able to build on what I already knew of this crazy daring woman. If you have some time to waste and want a nonstop action short story, then this is definitely for you.

Edge Of The Storm (Silent Secrets Series Book 2) by Lisette Kristensen

5-stars

Edge Of The Storm is the second installment in those series and cannot be read as a standalone. There is a lot of back story in the first novel that leads up to the action in this novel. Sloan aka Blackbird must rescue her mentor Halo who has been taken. Halo is being used as a bomb and Blackbird and her team must diffuse the situation and disable the bomb. This short novel has a ton of action and is easy to read. I loved the characters and but of romance that occurs. I look forward to more in this series .

Edge of the Storm is the second book in the Silent Secrets series by Lisette Kristensen. Lisette Kristensen is a great storyteller. This book brings Halo to Rome to meet and train Blackbird. There is a terrorist attack and Blackbird needs to step things up when Halo is taken prisoner and leaves Blackbird, who is training to get Halo back. There are twists and turns for both Halo and Blackbird. Will Blackbird step up to the challenge or will Blackbird fail? This is one story you will want to read.

Edge of the Storm is the second book in the Silent Secrets series by Lisette Kristensen. This series should be read in order to understand the plot. These books are short but filled with action and adventure. I love the strong female characters and the action as they fulfill their mission. This book is Sloane's First mission as Blackbird. This book kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end and I couldn’t put it down till I read the last page. I can’t wait to get the next book to see what happens next. If you like books about terrorists and the agents that try to stop them, this is the series for you.
