STORY:
In Security Breach by R. Waites (191 pages), despite exhibiting major potential and leadership skills, Dwayne Walker's content being a low-ranking sentry at his father's guard syndicate. His lack of ambition is disappointing to everyone. But Dwayne is fine with his position until an opportunity presents itself, a crazy, dangerous opportunity.
The premise of security is interesting. I know next to nothing about security/guard syndicates, but I feel the book explained everything without babying the reader.
Also, for those who don't care for it, no romance is present.
CHARACTERS:
Dwayne's delightfully witty and self-less. I like how chill he is. His (arguably) two best friends, Hector and Lila, are respectively a manipulative pretty boy and cut-throat boss chick. Honestly, their dynamics are entertaining.
Hector is my absolute favorite. He's so snot-nosed (not literally). He's hilarious, prideful, and awesome in his own right. I can see why Dwayne (and Lila) find him so draining at times.
Lila's soft-spoken and vicious, the best combination.
Also, let's acknowledge that Major, Dwayne's smartwatch, is dope. I wished I could have seen it used a little bit more.
Lastly, I really like Barrel Walker (doesn't that name scream manly?). It's rare to see strict, serious parents that actually love their kids in YA fiction.
Yes, he probably eats rocks for breakfast and doesn't cry when he slams his hand in the car door, but he loves Dwayne. Believe it! *Naruto voice*
OVERALL:
Fun cast of characters and good action and suspense! I wouldn't mind reading more about Dwayne, Lila, and Hector.
I recommend it!
