Red Hawk by Helen Harper

4.0

"Red Hawk," the third book in Helen Harper's series, delivers a satisfying conclusion that I greatly appreciate. This installment ramps up the action with more war and fighting scenes, including some gore, which kept the tension high and the stakes even higher. 

The romance is present but remains subtle. As someone who enjoys a bit more spice in my reads, I would have loved to see more of that element explored. While it wasn't a major focus, the story's strengths in other areas kept me engaged. 

I appreciated how the story wrapped up the series, though the ending felt a bit abrupt. It left me wondering if it was intentionally left open for another book or if this was the planned conclusion. Either way, it was a fitting end to the journey we've been on with these characters. 

The overall flow of the series has been enjoyable, and I particularly loved the diverse and engaging cast of characters. Each brought something unique to the table, making the story richer and more immersive. The humor throughout the book was delightful, providing moments of levity amid the intense action. There was some great character development too, as they grew and learned in each book, just like we do in life. 

Once again, Ruth Urquhart did a fantastic job narrating. Her performance added depth and charm to the listening experience, and her skillful portrayal of the characters made the audiobook a joy to listen to. 

"Red Hawk" is a strong finale to a captivating series. It balances action, humor, and a touch of romance, leaving readers with a sense of closure while also sparking curiosity about the characters' futures. A must-listen for fans of the series!
