Talon

Talon by Ronie Kendig.

I couldn't wait for Kendig's new book. I power read through her Nightshade series and gobbled up her A Breed Apart series about Military Working Dogs.

Talon was highly anticipated and didn't disappoint.

Aspen Courtland has adopted her twin brother, Austin's, MWD. Talon has severe PTSD after being on assignment with the day Austin is killed. Aspen doesn't believe her brother is dead. After eight months of being MIA, the military officially declared him dead. Renewing her doubt about Austin's death is the arrival of Dane Markoski. According to Dane he was serving with Austin on the day he went MIA and has since seen him in South Africa. Dane agrees to accompany Aspen in the search. The longer Aspen is with Dane the more questions she has about him. Those questions stir her curousity and her admiration. Will Dane reveal the truth and if he does will Aspen still trust him? Is Austin alive and if he is in what state will they find him? Can Talon overcome his fear and find Austin?

I couldn't put Talon down. Kendig creates stories that ask questions and I couldn't rest until I had the answers. The action and adventure lined up perfectly with the touch of romance.
