Heart of the Colossus (Holly Drake Jobs Book 3) Kindle Edition

Save them all or die trying.

Holly Drake and her team have seen the evil lurking behind everything the Shadow Coalition does. The last time they plunged into the heart of the shadow empire, they could only rescue one. Now they’re going back for the rest. The crew is ready and willing to put everything on the line. They have a plan, they have the means, this is the job they were born to do.

But time and space are stacked against them.

The mission is a logistical nightmare. How can Holly and her crew save an entire fleet of children? The answer: whatever it takes. Co-opting fuel tankers, recruiting explosives experts, hiring pilots, and revisiting mysterious specters from the past. Some things are too painful, even for Holly Drake, but when it comes to freeing the innocent, not even the ugliest mistakes from her past will hold her back.

Is this the mission that will unveil the true nature of the Heart at the center of the Shadow Coalition? She’s seen the Hands, just who is the Heart?

The Heart of the Colossus features a snarky, strong, bad-ass heroine fighting against the odds to save the helpless.

If you don't like seeing a woman experience self-doubt, overcome obstacles, and then dominate, this book is not for you.

Love strong female leads, an entertaining cast of characters, and adventure? Then grab your copy today!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best book yet!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2018

    I felt like this book just flew by. The storyline is smooth sailing and I just loved meeting some old and new friends of Holly’s. I would love to read more of these characters! The author has definitely hit the perfect groove in leaving me on the edge of my seat! Now, this third book focuses on the crew getting the kidnapped children from the Shadow Coalition base. More team members are needed and some paths lead to Holly’s past. I feel like Holly is stuck in a little ‘love’ triangle. I know who I’m rooting for, but Holly needs to work through her issues before she can think about a relationship….and trusting. There’s action galore at the end and it ends off with the perfect little ending to leave me wanting more!

    Honestly I can’t recommend this series enough! If you love a good book with action, humor and a wonderful cast of characters then pick up this book! Though you might want to start from book one.

    Heart of the Colossus is the third book in the Holly Drake Job series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A modern family affair
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018

    I love these books. There are caveats which somehow don't matter. The best parts are about the main character, Holly; about her relationships, her history with an abuser and her decision to defend herself despite the cost. That this fact is her foundation elevates the entire arc of the plotting. The author writes wonderful dialogue. Even the smallest exchanges are real and natural. The oddball characters are not as well developed and that may be a blessing that sets my imagination free. Finally I feel like I'm part of this 'family' and can't wait to get back to it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, unique science fiction
    Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2020
    The world building is fantastic. The aliens are fascinating, and this book reveals that not all aliens are humanoid. The characters are fallible, believable, and likeable. The story is engrossing and thrilling. My only problem is Holly's attraction to every available male she encounters; I admit her feelings are starting to annoy me. Otherwise, the series is great. Please start with book 1.
