It breaks my heart whenever I do not finish a book, which is a rare scenario, but it happens to me just like to any other readers.
I really liked the premise of this book so I feel so guilty for not being able to finish it at this time being.
I will eventually still try to get back to this one; maybe I’m not in the mood for some military related story lately or it’s just not for me, but I can’t really go past beyond 20%. I’m sad because I’m interested with the premise and I like the author’s writing style but I’m not getting anything beyond my current reading page for this book.
Nevertheless, I will still rate this as a 3/5 for the descriptions and the character - Hella is indeed one hella girl for me.
I hope to be able to love the story when I try reading this again.

'"The hero runs toward trouble.'" -Brent Spencer
"The Last of Her" by Brent Spencer, is the revised version of the book previously published under the name "All Done With Dying". The first chapter begins with Hella Duran returning home to her grandfather's ranch in Nebraska. Hella has served her county and suffered grievous injuries. Her job in Afghanistan was to be a undercover spy and find information on where Osama bin Laden is hiding. She finds unwavering evidence that she has located him. Hella reports this to her commander and gives the correct coordinates for a drone attack, but something goes horribly wrong. Six civilians are killed in a target misfire. Hella is positive her coordinates for the attack were correct, but she is kicked out of the army with a "Other Than Honorable Discharge". Hella suspects a cover-up and needs to find Wade Bledsoe from the drone command center to solve this mystery.
While I enjoyed this book very much, I felt it was a bit confusing at times. It took me a bit to keep up with the character's and names. If you stick with the story, you will quickly catch up and follow the story. I have never read a fiction book that targets Osama bin Laden, but it proved to be a very interesting read.
Trigger Warning: This book is not for the faint at heart. It contains graphic and violent scenes.
