Save Me from Dangerous Men by S. A. Lelchuk

4.0

Good start to a new series. Described as a combination of Lisbeth Salander and Jack Reacher, but I'm not so sure. It's less graphically sadomasochistic than the Salander series, for which I'm grateful. Even reading about those Stieg Larsson books was enough to convince me not to actually read them. I don't see Jack Reacher either. The qualities that set him apart from other adventurers don't show up as much for Nikki Griffin.

If I were to compare her with a current series, it would seem to me to be more akin to a female version of Nick Petrie's Peter Ash. Nikki has her own demons (though different from Ash's), and is well-trained, but has her normal everyday job (the bookstore) and finds herself helping others. I'm eager to read the next in the series.
