Wolf Trap by Connor Sullivan
2.75
Admittedly, this isn't my usual genre. I tend to like "thrillers" like this in a movie/tv series, but struggle a bit with it in books. Here, there were too many characters/names to try to keep track of, several settings and a lot going on. I had picked up a physical copy at a library sale. This had been a "Reader'sChoice" book. I was able to grab the audio and Kindle version easily. I went primarily with the audio.
I think I comprehended the story overall ... all 3rd person, past tense. 82 chapters plus a prologue and epilogue. I guess Brian Rhome would be considered the MC, the titular "Wolf" per se. There was another character later on, Ryder, and I have this bad habit of just remembering the first letter of a person's name (in real life, and in books, especially in audio). So ... I got Rhome and Ryder a little mixed up (even though Ryder is female). We have a female president (Angela Buchanan) and Princess Amara is another main characters. So many POVs to track though! The setting would shift mainly from the US (various locations) to Saudi Arabia and then other locations in the middle east. A "Green Accord" signing was what much of the story circled around.
There were a few deaths/injuries ... that we are in that person's POV as they are shot, just not always a POV a reader gets (as they die).
ProFanity x36 ... I think I had heard the word "chyron" before (the word banner on a news report), it was used four times. Dais, roiled, cacophony are other words I note.
I didn't have anything particularly negative about the book ... just a little hard to follow with all the flipping around (locations/people). Nothing where I wanted to stop and highlight/make notes, not really one I'd recommend - but I will offer up the physical copy I bought in my Little Free Library.
