In one of the most intriguing books of the summer, Landon Beach's The Blue Hour Sanction delivers a perfect combination of fastballs, curveballs, and homeruns.
I was first introduced to Beach's novels with Huron Breeze a few years ago, and each book since helped perfectly parlay into The Blue Hour Sanction, which provides the origin story to Adrienne Astra. Where a small town girl becomes one of the most brilliant and lethal assassins, this novel wraps you up like a boxer's fists and blasts you in the jaw with each and every turn of the page. It was a dark read that had me locked in from page one with maybe the most lethal female protagonist I've ever seen grace the page. Beach's writing is second to none, and his talent truly shines through in this brilliantly crafted thriller.
With a novel so raw and gritty it felt like I had sand in my mouth, The Blue Hour Sanction is a great novel that all thriller fans will need to read this year. It works as a standalone as well, but once you read this, you'll want to know everything there is to know about Adrienne Astra. Don't miss one of the best reads of the summer!
