Collateral Damage

Drenna Steel #2

by John Sneeden

Former CIA assassin Drenna Steel just wanted to leave the business and start a new life under a false identity. All seemed well until she realized someone was tracking her every move.


In the aftermath of Retribution, former CIA assassin Drenna Steel is traveling across Europe, drinking heavily to dull the pain of a tragic loss.


After arriving in Belfast, she soon realizes someone is watching her. The person is crafty, a master of the shadows. But who is he? No one is supposed to know where she's at.


As Drenna prepares to turn the tables, she doesn't realize she's dealing with a cabal of powerful people who will stop at nothing to silence their enemies. And they don't realize they're about to unleash a tigress who no longer plays by the rules.

Explosive Spy / Revenge Thriller. When we catch up with our heroine of the series in this book, she is hiding and hurting - but still righting wrongs where she sees them, in badass and brutally effective fashion. And shortly thereafter, she gets roped into yet another mission that turns out to not be as it seems, which leads to even more action which tends to also be brutally effective at times. Yet again Sneeden does an excellent job of providing a seemingly shortish (no official page count as I type this review, but it *felt* like it was in the sub-300 page area) bit of pure escapism, this time highlighting various areas of Europe in the process. Perfect for fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher or J.M. LeDuc's Sinclair O'Malley, or (sadly now late) Matthew Mather's Delta Devlin. Very much recommended.

Another hit from John Sneeden

Drenna is trying to put the last year in the past. When she is contacted about finding a rogue spy she agrees even though the Intel doesn't sound legit. When she finds Jack they put together that it is all lies and both of them have been targeted for death. Looking forward to next Drenna story.

The jury is still out on this series. There are things that I really like about it, but there is just something wrong or something missing. I can't really put my finger right on it, but there is something. I will read the next one when it comes out, and maybe it will be corrected -- or I will figure out what the problem is.

Good Read…Female Gray Man

Dreana Steele reminds me so much of Mark Greaney’s Gray Man! Many similarities but mostly a well thought out novel, lots of action good plot and characters. I did wish she and Slavin would have gotten together. Looking forward to the next Dreana adventure.

chose this at random and glad I did.

I had already read book one and picked up book two to continue the story. Both books are well written and keep you engaged thru the entire book. Can’t wait to read more.
