Pretty Fierce An exciting young adult spy thriller eBook Kieran Scott Reviews
Pretty Fierce by Kieran Scott is described as an action movie in written form, so naturally I was intrigued. I have not read anything Scott (or her pen name Kate Brian) has written before and I was unsure what I was going to get. What I got surprised me in good ways. Super action packed, with the requisite good boy, hiding a secret, love interest and lots and lots of twists.
The plot of Pretty Fierce was pure adrenaline. When you have a girl raised by world class assassins who disappear, bad guys on her tail and a dreamy small town boy you have on heck of a plot. I enjoyed the writing of Kieran Scott. She was able to convey a lot of imagery with her words and she created a very real world, that while completely fictional made complete sense in the scope of the story. The pacing was wicked fast with a few flashbacks to help fill out our knowledge of the characters. There were high emotions in the story and it helped amp up the danger quotient. Now to the characters; I loved some and hated others with nary an in-between. First the loves, Kaia was a spunky spitfire who just wanted to be normal but has every capability to be a bad ass. Oliver is the boyfriend hiding his own secrets while trying to get close to Kaia; Oliver was a delight. Now the bad, every adult!! Seriously they were all so consumed with their lives and their perceptions (other than the two who seemed great but were snuffed out pretty quickly) that they were flat out obnoxious. I know it’s fictional but seriously when you are a trained killer you don’t do Take Your Daughter to Work Day.
I was almost finished with Pretty Fierce and thought that there was no way the story could end with the ( estimated) 17 minutes left to read. I am both happy and sad I was wrong. It was a showdown to the finish that never slowed or even paused, but I really like the characters and would have been okay with a giant cliffhanger ending for a book two. The only thing that drove me nuts was that the ebook version had some formatting issues that made it difficult to read until I got used to it. This may have been my first Kieran Scott book, but it will not be my last.
Original review @ 125Pages
I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Pretty Fierce is a YA Suspense full of action and adventure and a completely sweet romance that is perfect for the younger age range of YA readers. I love the concept behind this story, a young teenage girl who has lived a more than unusual life with parents who are hired assassins. You feel completely torn up for her when both her parents are 'killed' and she herself ends up on the run and thrown into a 'normal' teenage life...that is until her past starts to catch up to her and tries to kill her too. I loved all the action and adventure, all the twists and turns even when things got way out of hand and down right unbelievable at times. There were a number of things that you have to take with a grain of salt, but that's pretty much the truth of any suspense book I have ever read...Jason Bourne and Jack Reacher land in these situations that make me scratch my head all the time so two teenagers on the run from multiple threats, anything can and does happen.
While I like Kaia just fine I was totally over the moon with Oliver. He's this broken boy striving to make his world better. He is literally fighting for his life on a regular basis and just trying to make it until he can escape the dark place he has landed in all while trying to protect the people he loves. I could have used more of his story, more depth and detail....heck I could use an entire second book that goes into what happens after this one ends, what happens to Oliver. We know that Kaia in the end is going to be okay and there are hints that Oliver will be too, but there is a lot of story left to be told when it comes to this hero and his future.
I liked that this story had a kick ass Heroine but that the Hero could and did stand next to her when she needed him most. Neither of these two main characters would ever let themselves be taken by surprise but together they made an awesome team, even when you wanted to shake Oliver for his moments of self-doubt and Kaia for her many moments of being self-absorbed. I loved their reactions to everything going on around them the most. I loved that even though this crazy insanity is occurring, people are coming at the two of them from every angle and they don't know if they will live another day they don't come across as two super secret agents who know everything. They are two teens who have ultimately had unusual and at times dangerous upbringings. Their lives up to this point have nurtured them into two people who have skills that will help them survive but they are still teens who have no idea what's really happening. They are two teens who are scared and on the run, but they have each other and they for the most part work together to stay alive and to solve the mystery of who is after Kaia.
I really wish the ending hadn't come as quickly as it did. There was a lot of build up and action in the first 60% percent of the book and then the last 30% came at you fast and furious. Before you know it is is over and honestly I still have a lot of questions, like I mentioned above with Oliver. Now, I could be totally wrong and there could end up being a second (or more) book, but I didn't get that vibe and that was a complete bummer. Olivier and Kaia could easily find themselves in one sticky situation after another, we could get more detail on Kaia's parents, more about what they decide to do in the future, let's go back to more about what happens to Oliver...hint, hint.
There is a lot of good about this story, I think it will totally appeal to the younger YA crowd and that's a great thing as a lot of YA these days is skimming into areas that as a parent you may not want your younger teens falling into yet. There is romance, there is death, there is abuse, there is fear but none of it is so in your face or over the top that it would be too much for a young teen who is really just now starting to notice 1. the opposite sex and 2. the reality that the world can be a harsh and hurtful place. It's also going to be an enjoyable action read for older teens who maybe need a break from all the deep dark books that are out there these days, (books I love, do not get me wrong, haha) when they need something to sit back and relax with, get through quickly, enjoy, and be able to walk away satisfied with their read. If you or a reader in your house or school room like suspense/mystery this could be a great choice for you. If you are fans of Ally Carter and her Gallagher Girls or Embassy Row series, give this one a go. I won't say it is quite as dynamic but it has all the components and makes for a quick enjoyable read. So if you are a fan of fast paced, plot (even when it is completely unrealistic...but then again like I said before, just think Bourne and Reacher....) driven, sweet romances, snatch up a copy and happy reading
It was a gift for my g-daughter and she loved it.
Such a great read! I loved it. Definitely something that needs picked up by more people. The story was intense and nonstop. There wasn't a calm moment through the whole story. From the first page to the last. Go Go Go. It was awesome. The characters were both very likable and pretty kick ass! I have nothing negative to say! A must read! It's definitely worth it. A fun YA read. Please check it out! Fans of spy books like the Gallagher Academy series or Others Like that will love this!)
Imhad hopes that this would invovle a strong female character and while there was, I was let down by how often she took a back seat allowing her boyfriend to take over in one way or another. Despite this disappointment, she still was a great role model. The book was also intriguing and kept you wanting to know more as the mysteries and questions grew. I loved that the ending was left open for the most part for interpretation.
