Chaos

Iris Johansen has written an action-packed thriller with dark overtones.

Chaos is an exciting tale about a young lady who is similar to Margaret Douglas, who in case this is your first Johansen book, has an affinity with animals. Sasha is especially close to horses. It is this circumstance unfortunately which lands her in the hands of killers and slave traders.

Coming to Sasha's rescue is her self-assigned protectors CIA agent Alisa Flynn and animal whisperer Margaret Douglas. Alisa will do anything to save Sasha and this brings interesting characters into the story.

If you are an avid reader of Johansen's then you will recognize Alisa's base character as it is very similar to Catherine Ling and Margaret in her early stories. I already knew what type of guy Gabe would be and Sasha reminds me of Jane and you can guess who our “Indiana Jones” wannabe reminds me of (laugh). Very familiar characters.

I still really like the book. I think Chaos is hilarious. I like the action. Chaos makes a great escape for a chilly afternoon.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
