“Love is a terrible weakness. It gives your enemies a perfect target, clouds your judgement, makes you reckless… and that’s on a good day.” ~~ Jeaniene Frost

Jasmine McAlister – Behind the calm, cool facade of a coolly sophisticated woman was a giddy lovesick woman who was silently screaming, Xavier kissed me!

Xavier Quinn – “You take my breath away, McAlister.”

Jazz, badass OZ operative yet vulnerable to feelings and emotions, went through a childhood that leaves her with trust issues. She grew up relying only on herself and asking for help is not on the top of her list. So, trying to find her brother Brian all by herself without her OZ family lands her in a situation that brings her close to death. 

Xavier Quinn always always relied on his gut feelings and it’s screaming that Jazz is in trouble and he would go to the ends of earth to save her. He’s been in love with her for so long yet never acted on it as he treasures their relationship more than anything. 

Together, Jazz and Xavier are a force to reckon with, separated exposes the depth of their feelings for each other. Together they have to unravel the mystery surrounding Jazz’s childhood and her brother’s disappearance to put an end to the evil that’s dogging her, if they want to have a chance for a future.

And when Christ Reece tells a story, she does so with “Reckless” abandon, to its fullest and her absolute best.

Looks like Serena was able to track the love of her life, Sean and let’s not forget that Iris Gates is still lurking in the shadows. I bet Christy Reece has some big plans for her!

“Love sometimes makes people ruthless in a way that not even hatred can.” ~~ Francesca Marciano, Actress ~~

Gideon Wright – “You wanted to protect the defenseless, Eve. I wanted to be the one to protect the defender.”

Eve Wells – “Thanks for not giving up on me. But if you ever again drug me, kidnap me, or inject something into my body without my consent, I will cause you severe, physical pain.”

That readers, are Gideon and Eve for you! Partners, lovers, soul mates and defenders of the innocent, courageous and honorable.

Christy Reece is “ruthless” in creating her characters with her heart and soul!

A chance encounter between two innocent human beings from different ends of the world, merciless events cement the trajectory of these young lives, yet fated to be in each other’s lives and destined to be together with a future, Eve and Gideon had each other’s backs as Option Zero operatives and friends. Between the lines, their chemistry sizzles, thoughts and actions bring to life their emotions and feelings,  script and narrative is an admirable and resplendent passage to their future.

Merciless in battling betrayal, relentless in fighting for their beliefs, bringing the heartless to justice, ruthless in serving the purpose of their goals and objectives – Option Zero operatives are one of a kind and unforgettable characters….thank you, Christy Reece, for these champions.

Be it heroes or villains, sidekicks or followers, family or relatives,  Christy Reece pours her prowess and mastery in developing each character fit for their respective roles in her books.  Her imagination and vision in creating evil for her stories is ruthless to the point of brilliant, as is her penchant for throwing in a twist or two in the penultimate chapters. 

I am not surprised that Iris Gates is in the shadows getting in on the action and I wait with bated breath, for Sean to slay his demons and come back to Serena.

“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul” ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

With ever step he took, he felt as if this time….this time would be different. This time he would definitely find her.

Nothing was going to stop her from making this date. She told herself he would be there.

Liam Stryker and Aubrey Starr….

They had forged a bond within the dark walls of pain and betrayal. They endured torture and treachery with great fortitude. And both made it their life mission to save innocents from being lost to the evil that permeates society. Mercilessly. Relentlessly. 

Two determined souls destined to be together.

Second in her Option Zero series, “Relentless” is a masterpiece of writing and narration. Christy Reece poured her heart and soul into Liam and Aubrey as she goes on this journey with them; a journey of finding each other, knowing each other and living for each other. Love is a very powerful emotion. It comes in different shapes and sizes. It’s about fate, failure, timing  and redemption. And when the time comes, these two courageous souls will have their day.

If Liam and Aubrey grace one end of the spectrum of her plot, Christy Reece’s design of a massive hive of powerful people trying to play God is another brilliant twist on the opposing end of the spectrum. A plot that most likely will be entwined into her consecutive stories and there is no dearth of imagination in her to create another brilliant and edgy story.

“Relentless” is a story of bravery and resilience, brotherhood and camaraderie, fate and destiny. It is also a tale of love and hope that solidifies the fact that when bad things happen to good people (and they do happen all the time), they can come out on the other side with grit and tenacity molding into a character of beauty.

“Bad things happen. And the human brain is especially adept at making sure that we keep track of these events. This is an adaptive mechanism important for survival. ~ David Perlmutter

And survival is important to having a purpose in life. A lucky chance that gives birth to a crusade against evil living amongst humanity.  Fear is “Merciless”. But with courage, determination and motivation, one can laugh at the very face of fear. Who better is privileged to this fact than Asher Drake and Juliet Stone

Asher Drake: The man was a demon in some people’s eyes, but in others he was a hero.

Juliet Stone: She was no neophyte. She was a professional and knew how to play the game. She had secrets.

And both would go beyond their endurance to mete out justice and protect their own.

Merciless-OptionZero#1-Feb2020

Christy Reece’s new series, Option Zero, introduces the “Merciless” players, bonded over death, bravery and survival. A life of pain and loss, betrayal and treachery, brotherly bond, love and loyalty created these warriors. As they put their lives between the innocent and evil, fighting for justice fo the innocent with zero option, they still get lucky in love as they tread a merciless path to justice.

A resounding start to a new series, Christy Reece shows her mastery of plotting a story that keeps the readers spellbinding. Unlike her other series with so much action (which totally is enthralling), I love the fact that she had paced her story so very well as she draws the characters out of their shell. There is sublime action in the background, with emotions and characterization taking precedence, yet none of it taking away the intensity of the plot. As she introduces the players, the story still revolves around Asher Drake and Jules Stone. As she sets the stage for the main plot to continue into future stories, she never loses sight of the significant flow of events surrounding Ash and Jules. Even her choice of names has a subtle symbolism adding an element of aura to the story.

Having read every single book of hers published thus far, there are so many subtle nuances that only made Christy’s narration so much more intriguing, the twists and surprises added flavor and spice to the plot, and the characterization and depth of the plot added layers of masterful imagination!

I cannot wait to follow these “Merciless” warriors on their trials and tribulations and to a path of love and justice.

“Irelyn”!

Grey. A lump clogged her throat, and her eyes blurred. He was alive. And from the sound of his voice, he was also royally pissed. 

“Yes?”

“You okay?”

“Yes. You?”

Instead of telling her he was okay, he shouted, “I have a question for you.”

“What’s that?”

“Marry me?”

Hidden in an alcove beside a bookshelf in the living room, Grey held his breath as he waited for the answer to the most important question he’d ever asked in his life. Proposing in the midst of a gun battle was not the most romantic way to go about such things, but for them, for who they were, this worked perfectly. ~~~~~

AMatterOfJustice-GrayJustice#4-ChristyReece

Grey Justice and Irelyn Raine, as untraditional as they are, these two have seen and worked a world that one cannot imagine even in their wildest dreams. A man fated to mete out justice to “Too Far Gone” humans who when not governed by law and justice, tend to become the monsters of all monsters. A woman fostered by a monster to become a human killing machine with “Nothing To Lose.” Two unconventional individuals destined to save each other, to protect their legacy and serve the innocent, “Whatever It Takes”.

The finale of the Grey Justice Series, “A Matter Of Justice” is a brilliant revelation of Grey and Irelyn. Two characters so complex and entwined, unraveling their lives is a plethora of darkness and fear, death and loss, hope and trust, family and dreams. The first chapter is a remarkable penmanship of secrets and intimacy, innuendos and suggestions, an array of ‘The What Ifs’, ‘The Why Not’s and ‘The Could Have Been’…

The highlight of their story is not about them burying the evil, but is about them baring their souls to each other. As much as it was an adrenaline thriller, their emotional ride of revelation, the trust they had in each other and the progression of their relationship was the pinnacle of the story. And the credit for creating these two illustrious characters goes to Christy Reece.

And evil should deserve credit. They say revenge is an act of passion, vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged. Crimes are avenged. Without the likes of Sebastian Dark and their twisted minds, we wouldn’t know of the courage, perseverance and determination of justice!

“A Matter Of Justice” should be read to enjoy it’s every word, every nuance, every interaction, and every tiny gesture between Grey and Irelyn – the said and the unsaid, the seen and the unseen, the done and the undone…and the dynamics of the Justice Team as it had developed! This is by far Christy Reece’s best work and the anticipation of reading and be a part of Grey’s and Irelyn’s happily ever after, is pure orgasmic pleasure!!!

A truly fitting finale for the Justice Team and the Justice Series!
