Review:
In this prequel to Elainie La Force’s upcoming thriller, which kicks off the ‘Displaced’ series, we are introduced to an unassuming bank teller, Anastasia Pestova, who finds herself in the middle of a money laundering scheme, forcing her to run. With authorities on her tail and a useless passport, the stakes are high.
Though the novella sits around 80 pages, I found the plot smooth and the pacing steady. It’s a solid introduction to Anastasia’s story. If this was an indicator of what’s coming up in the full series, it should be a good one. I anticipate the upcoming installations will answer questions introduced in this book. There is also a bonus story included at the end.
A huge thanks to the author for reaching out and offering to send me a free digital copy of this book! I chose to read it through KindleUnlimited.
Likes & Dislikes:
What I liked:
- Great pacing. Nothing felt rushed despite the limited page number.
- Strong prequel.
What I didn’t like:
- It wasn’t my favorite writing style, but it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the story any.
Afterthoughts:
I’m looking forward to the rest of the series!
