Rick & Katja

 33 or 9 penned by Ian Griffin will take you back into the dark world of spy games. Rick and Katja face one challenge after the other. They have to be intimate with others sometimes in order to complete the mission. Rick saw an American on the streets of Salzburg. This man is Roger who is selling his nation's important secrets down here.

Rick pulls out his Beretta with a suppressor and fires two shots into Roger's chest. When Rick gave the briefcase to Franz, he mentioned an unusual business card that said "33 or 9". What does this mean?

Find out yourself by reading this gripping story. Once I started reading this book, I binge read it and craved for more. Ian's writing style is amazing. His backdrop settings give you the feel as if you are in that place yourself. The best part of the book is how the characters and their relationships are developed.

Overall, I loved this book. 

 The 2nd book in this series outperformed the first book by a large margin in my opinion. The author was able to really spend time further developing the characters and working through the challenges they face in their dual lives. Add to that the family dynamic of kids in the picture and you start to see how complex this can get. The writing style has also improved. The author is really hitting his stride and you can see that in the formulation of the story line itself as well as how easily the novel flows through the pages. I couldn't put it down and finished it in about three days. Well worth the read and the ending.... just WOW! Did NOT see that coming. Read this book if you like spy type novels with a twist here and there, you won't be disappointed! 

 I love reading Crime fiction. After finishing the first book in the "Rick and Katja," book series, I was excited to get my hands on the second installment in the series.

In this book, we again meet Rick and Katja, the two main characters. Both of them had many dangerous adventures in the first book and it continues in the second book. The story began with Rick killing the man named Roger. Roger was selling the secrets of his nation in Salzburg. He explained to Rick that he has to pay for his daughter's college and that's why he is doing so. Rick didn't hesitate to kill the man.

Read this story to find out what would be the next adventure for Rick and Katja. Will their relationship stand the test of time? Since the author has served in the US army for many years, he has had great knowledge about the world of espionage, danger, assassinations, etc. The language used in the book is lucid and I enjoyed every bit of it. The author has done fantastic work in this book. I am curious to read more books by Ian in the future. 

 There are very few books that have the power to capture the reader's attention from the first page itself. Recently I read 33 or 9, the second book in the Rick and Katja book series. It is a captivating story that will pull the readers immediately into the dark world of spy games.

Rick and Katja aren't afraid to take on new challenges. They took every opportunity that was thrown in front of them no matter if it involved killing someone or getting closer to someone. Their main goal is to complete the mission given to them by Franz. When a business card with 33 or 9 written on it was found, Katja joked about it. Since they were on the brothel street, she mentioned maybe it is 33 minutes or 9 minutes, a time that most men can endure.

The cover photo of the book is well designed and the title is suitable. The story is engaging and makes you curious. The writing style of the author fits my reading taste.

This book made a strong impression on me and left me wanting to read more of Ian's work. 

 In "33 or 9", the reader is brought to the scene of many adventures. This was a great continuation from book #1, which I also highly recommend. An ending that was unexpected and draws you wanting even more.

This book is certainly not for young readers, but still maintains a sense of decorum that is needed in this type of story- an interesting movie it would be. The settings are wonderful, suspenseful and rewarding to the mind.

Another aspect I enjoyed was the sense of integrity, honor and dedication to family that is through out the story.

I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the next in line. You will not be disappointed 

 This is the second part of the “Rick and Katja" Book series. I absolutely loved this one too just like the first book.

The protagonists of the story are Rick and Katja. They are a spy couple. They embrace new adventures as they evolve through the art of espionage, intrigue, and assassinations. Their journey gets deeper into the dark world of the spy game. Soon they faces an old enemy and a new one who is even more dangerous. Their unpredictable world pushes the boundaries of their family and marriage as they face intimacy and danger far beyond their expectations.

It is such a book that holds a unique taste with another level of intensity! The story's pacing is perfectly balanced, with moments of suspense intertwined with emotional depth.

The author has skillfully weaved the whole story and one can easily get trapped inside the book!

The writing style is engaging, drawing readers into the lives of the characters and making them feel a part of the story.

The book is a page turner. It is easy to read and perfect for beginners. The language and presentation are excellent.

Overall it was a fabulous read and I enjoyed it throughout. I highly recommend this book to all of you. 

Great sequel! If you love espionage!

 Great sequel. Can’t wait to see what happens next with Rick & Katja!

The dynamic duo is back! Really enjoyed the novel on a lazy Sunday afternoon. If you are into spy novels, this is a must read.

 "33 or 9 (Rick and Katja Book 2)" is a gripping tale of two spies who are also raising a family. The things they are willing to do for their mission and their loyalty to one another are tested in this book. Great read.
