My review of Act of Surrender (Immortal Ops: PSI-Ops #2) by Mandy M Roth

***A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review***

This is James Hagen’s story. We, as the readers, were first introduced to him back in book one as abducted, tortured and experimented on for a year by Corp. Since then he has been in a horrible mental place and doesn’t know where his head is at that moment. He is brought back in to the fold after being rescued and we start with him sitting in a lab a few weeks after his return. He is looking forward to an online chat with GothGirl ( our heroine) who he finds that he can chat with and be more himself with than others. There is some issues with GothGirl but James finds he can tell her his troubles and she listens without telling him what to do and how to do it…. No judgment.

Laney aka GothGirl is a wicked hacker with skills that are not humanly possible and is also a friend out of Dr. Mercy. Lane has all the files she hacked from the company and as fate would have it they are all on subject p87, who was James. She has also been on her own for many years after finding her parents were not her real ones and has discovered she was part of the Asia Project. Laney is a girl who has lived her life off the radar since she has been abandoned by her parents. She knew deep down that the government was covering something up. She spent her time looking for information she could use, and expose the truth on her website/blog. Laney never thought that her digging got the attention of someone, and that someone was out to kill her.

In this book, you have a whole can of worms opened up. The PSI-OPs and the Immortal Ops teams are both working on the issues created by the company and the other bad guys, who they have now found have people inside their teams and their governments. They don't know who to trust and have found they have been lied to for years.

The search for the truth and the building of the sexual chemistry between the H/h and the emotional connection was terrific. I love how these two wounded souls were able to find their way to each other and heal themselves from their tortured pasts.

The only glitch or thing I didn’t like is when the author portrayed Laney as a loner but yet showed her constant center point supporting or safeguarding the homeless veterans in her hotel encampment. Just seemed off kilter for someone who was a “loner”. I found that odd but could be a character flaw. I didn’t like that, could have been written a little different but c’ la vie.

My rating: 4.3 stars ****
