Alex Martel is a beautiful, self-confident, smart, former medic, who has worked with Interpol, CIA and FBI. She has connections all over the world with important people, but she is stubborn and to quote Celeste “she is the most infuriating Interpol agent’ hired. Alex prefers to operate alone and is currently a contract employee. “More precisely a global response staff special agent and subject matter expert” but is loyal to a fault and her pull to Caleb and to her team is always there. Caleb, her counterpart and the man with a giant crush on Alex does what he does in the name of his fellow soldiers, special operators and country. He is more inclined to operate within the boundaries than Alex and they balance each other out.
Out in the Cold is very closely related to current events in the world including Russia invading Ukraine, and power plays by governing officials. The question remains – is starting another world war worth it to show how strong the United States is or is it just about power, money and greed. There is a lot of action, which continually propels this book forward. Immersive locations are the background for the story - anywhere from Langley to the Baltic Sea. Alex is a strong, kick ass heroine whose skills are continually put to the test as she navigates deadly situations and attempts to unravel traitors and conspiracies at the highest level of power. I cannot wait to see what happens next!
Spoiler – my favorite part of the entire book is when Caleb punches Street in the throat. Best. Scene. Ever!
