Darkest Before Dawn is the latest book in Maya Bankβs KGI series, following the elusive Hancock and Honor. This can be read as a standalone, but there is a bit of backstory about Hancock in the other books. Hancock is a machine- his whole life is focused on the mission, and Honor unfortunately is part of his grander plan to lure a Russian mobster heβs been tracking.
Iβve been waiting for Hancockβs story, because I always figured there had to be more to him than meets the eye. It was equal parts heartwarming and frustrating to watch his relationship with Honor. On the one end he was highly protective and treated her like spun glass, on the other end he was unable to see beyond his single minded goal of revenge. Honor was another enigma, because sheβd suffered through so much but she was still holding onto hope. And if anyone is going to be able to tame Hancock it would be her. It was a good romantic suspense book, but it did tend to drag a bit in the middle and there were some elements that required you to suspend reality which was a bit hard to do. Overall it was a solid book, and a good edition to the series.
