Remote (Lexi Mills Book 5) by Brian Shea and Stacy Lynn Miller
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / Pages: 337 / Genre: Action Thriller

The Raven has a new toy—a tiny drone disguised as a large fly that can detonate remotely, killing anyone in its path. And he’s looking forward to using it on ATF Agent Lexi Mills and the President of the United States.

This fast-paced terrorist thriller had me on edge from start to finish. I especially liked President Meghan Brindle. I’d like to see a series just on her!

Very entertaining book, very well written and with excellent characters. Unfortunately, the plot is based on unrealistic technology.

"Remote," the fifth installment in the Lexi Mills series by Brian Shea and Stacy Lynn Miller, is a gripping thriller that can easily be enjoyed as a standalone, thanks to the ample background provided in the story. The lead character, Lexi, stands out as a brave and humble protagonist, making her instantly relatable and endearing to readers.

Lexi, a veterinarian with a disability that hasn't held her back, is on her second attempt at a honeymoon with her wife, Nita, and they've brought Lexi's newly widowed father along for the trip. However, the tranquility of the Sierra Foothills is shattered when Lexi's skills as a Federal ATF Agent are urgently needed. A bank is taken hostage by a man with a bomb, and Lexi is the closest agent available. As the tension escalates, she begins to suspect that her old nemesis, the Raven, is behind this new threat designed to grab her attention.

Simultaneously, a relentless senator is determined to advance his legislation, and a highly destructive weapon with cutting-edge technology is under consideration by a senate arms committee. The weapon's wealthy creator has a vested interest in securing the contract for his company, putting national security and countless lives on the line. The Raven's threats quickly escalate to top security clearance levels, and the pace of the story becomes relentless.

"Remote" is a heart-racing, breath-stealing, action-packed thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The authors skillfully weave together multiple plotlines, creating a riveting narrative that leaves you racing through the pages to discover who will emerge victorious. It's a rollercoaster ride of suspense and danger that will leave you eager for more.

I received a digital advance reader copy of "Remote," and I can confidently say that this book is a must-read for fans of thrilling suspense novels. Brian Shea and Stacy Lynn Miller have once again delivered an electrifying addition to the Lexi Mills series, leaving readers hungry for the next installment. Highly recommended! 📚🔥

I haven’t read all of this series but really like the brave and humble lead character, Lexi. This can be read on it’s own, plenty of background provided in the story. As a vet she came home with a disability that won’t hold her back. She’s on her second attempt at a honeymoon with her wife, Nita. For his safety, they’ve brought along Lexi’s newly widowed dad. The beauty and tranquility of the Sierra Foothills is disrupted when Lexi’s skills are again pulling her away from her loved ones to her job. There’s a bomb-strapped man at a bank with hostages. Lexi is the nearest Federal ATF Agent. She soon begins to think her old enemy, the Raven, is up to new plots to get to her attention.
There is one senator who will stop at nothing to advance his legislation. A highly destructive weapon with new technology is before a senate arms committee. The high-tech military weapon was designed by a very wealthy man who wants to see the contract awarded to his company. National security and lives are at stake along with millions. Soon the Raven’s threats accelerate to top security clearance levels. The pace and continuous dangers ramp up and you’ll race through the pages like I did to see who’s left standing. This was another heart racing, breath holding, action filled thriller that I highly recommend.
