Jessie Archer faced down death to prove her dedication to Athena, the elite organization of female spies she works for. Now she’s back on the team, in time to head to Pakistan to take down the man whose actions spurred Athena’s founders to create the secretive squad. But his connections spread farther than anyone knew, and when a girls’ school in Mumbai is bombed, a shadowy far-right organization reveals itself—and its evil plans to continue attacks.
When someone close to the investigation turns on Athena, Jessie knows that their time to save everyone is nearly up. Once again, she’ll have to risk everything to protect the vulnerable and prove herself.

This sounds so fun! I haven’t heard of this series before and now I definitely want to add it to my TBR. I am always looking for more thrillers and the fact that this one has LGBTQIA+ representation makes it all the better. Great pick, Kait! 🙂
Here’s my CWW if you’d like to give it a look!
Female spies! I am in for that! This sounds like it will be a great read. I haven’t read The Athena Protocol yet. I hope you enjoy The Shadow Mission when you read it! Take care!
