I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own. 

The Enigma Heirs must find a way to stop the needless death and destruction caused by Mateo and his ruthless business in authors Charles Breakfield and Rox Burkey’s “Enigma Forced”, the second book in the Enigma Heirs series.

The Synopsis

Enigma Forced, Book 2, is yet the most challenging and complex case for the Enigma Heirs.

Profiteers are preying on displaced souls who seek freedom, sacrificing everything. Wanting to give their children hope and a future, but they wrongly trust on a roll of loaded dice. Teens are picked off and sold into slavery. Cartels offer the choice to strong, young men to move illegal drugs over the border or die.

The R-Group and CATS team leaders want to end Mateo’s inhuman business model. The heroes must derail the human exploitation and opioid epidemic, killing people in increasingly dramatic numbers. If they can save even a few from the jaws of death, they win.

The present-day battle is in full swing, yet it can end badly for humanity unless the Enigma Heirs triumph. Who will survive the onslaught and how fast can they make Mateo pay?

The Review

What an adrenaline-fueled and engaging thriller. The author does a remarkable job of finding an outstanding balance between the action and thriller elements of the novel, delving into subjects that are all too real and touching upon the fears and horrors that human beings are sadly all too capable of inflicting on one another. The theme of morality and the heartbreaking situations where the innocent people the team is trying to save find themselves made this a grounded yet engaging story.

The author’s ability to layer suspense and drama into the narrative and create an air of intrigue made this story so thrilling. The themes of hope, overcoming the odds, and humanity’s never-ending battle of “good vs. evil” made the narrative entertaining yet memorable, and the adrenaline-fueled adventure kept the reader’s hearts pumping as the stakes continued to rise and rise. 

The Verdict

Heart-pounding, suspenseful, and thrilling, authors Charles Breakfield and Rox Burkey’s “Enigma Forced” are compelling and memorable must-read books. The twists and turns the authors give to this story, and the cat-and-mouse game between the team and the villainous Mateo will have readers on the edge of their seats until the book’s final chapters.
