Full Speed to a Crash Landing (Chaotic Orbits #1) by Beth Revis

 

This book just came out on the 6th of the month. I had no idea Beth Revis had another book coming out. I really enjoyed her Across the Universe series but didn't care too much for the others. Actually I tried two but couldn't finish them. Full Speed to a Crash Landing is very reminiscent of her Across the Universe series. 

It takes place far in the future, in space and deals with heists and romance. Our main character Ada Lamarr is a looter but she's in a pickle. Her spacesuit is running out of an air which means death for her. Luckily she convinces a government salvage crew to let her aboard their ship and help her out. 

Life aboard the ship is filled with luxuries such a fine food but Agent Rian White has his eye on Ada. He is attracted to her but also suspicious of her. The plot is engaging  and clever. Expect a cliffhanger ending.  This is a super fast read as it's a novella.  Next book in the series will be out in December.
