Description

Camaro Espinoza is "the deadliest female protagonist since Jon Land's Caitlin Strong and Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander" (Booklist).

Camaro Espinoza is a former combat medic whose past is shrouded in mystery. Having finally achieved a measure of calm and anonymity, Camaro receives a distress call from her sister Annabel. Living a modest life in a small town in California, Annabel has become trapped in an abusive relationship with a man named Jake Collier who threatens to make her daughter his next victim.

Camaro rushes across the country to defend her sister for what may be the last time. And Jake has a sibling of his own, an ex-Special Forces operative named Lukas who is every bit as unhinged as Camaro is uncompromising. For all Camaro's stealth and wit, she can only last so long against such a relentless force.

As a pair of federal marshals pick up the trail, and a bounty hunter with a debt to settle closes in, Camaro's smart enough to know that standing her ground is the last thing she should do. But if there's one thing Camaro can't do, it's walk away -- even with a freight train like Lukas barreling towards her.

A Note From the Publisher

The second book in the Camaro Espinoza series.

Advance Praise

“Fast, violent, and starring a lead character with a private code, and to hell with those law books. . . . Like a good action hero, Camaro is solitary, vengeful, and fond of beer and motorcycles—a female “tough guy” who defies stereotypes with engaging bravado.” —Booklist

Family is not an important thing. It's everything. - Michael J. Fox

I love the character of Camaro Espinoza. She's an ex-Army medic that got a Silver Star, she's an exceptional boxer, she shoots straight, is handy with a knife, but first and foremost, she's a sister and an aunt.

So when she gets a coded message from her sister, who she hasn't seen in a very long time saying she needs help, she leaves Miami Beach and heads to California.

I've read all the other novellas and the other novel about Camaro. The last novel THE NIGHT CHARTER wasn't my favorite. It was still very readable but it was missing the spark that the novellas have. Well, guess what? Not only is the spark back but it's turned into a raging forest fire.

Camaro is not a frilly, feminine woman. She grew up helping her Dad fix cars and motorcycles and she learned to box, like her father and grandfather before him. She is a kick-ass woman - one that you'd want at your back if you were in trouble.

I read the other books, which include:

FULL THROTTLE (four previously published novellas)
SWEET RIDE (a novella)
THE NIGHT CHARTER ( a full-length novel)

and now this full-length novel WALK AWAY.

Great protagonist and great stories.

I received this book from Mulholland Books through Net Galley in exchange for my unbiased review.
