Review of E M P Honeymoon

[Following is a volunteer review of "E M P Honeymoon" by Dorothy May Mercer.]
E M P Honeymoon by Dorothy May Mercer is an action-crime thriller that tells the story of a group of terrorists who plan to execute a huge terror attack on US soil. However, when they were making preparations in Honduras, a US tourist who was on her honeymoon with her detective husband stumbled upon their operation and decided that they needed to figure out what was going on and try to prevent whatever they were planning with the help of her brother, who is a US Senator, before it's too late, especially since people's lives are at risk.
What I liked about the book was how gripping the start of the story was; it actually made it impossible for me to put it down and enticed me to keep reading to figure out what would happen at the end. There was also the shift of stories; the author formed the plot as sections of each one of the characters' perspectives and points of view, and even though there were several, he managed to make it very obvious and easy to catch the switch and still follow the story. The humorous moments that the author managed to embed in the story were very helpful in keeping the plot light and fun to read.
There wasn't much that I didn't like about the book except for the cover, and I think they could do a lot better to balance the content of the book. especially since the editing was also exceptionally done and there were no grammatical or spelling mistakes that I noticed.
I would rate this book 5 out of 5. Overall, I really enjoyed the book, even though at the end it started to get a little fast-paced, but it wasn't that disturbing. The profanity was also kept to a minimum, which is also a bonus. The book was voted book of the month in December 2019, so if you want to figure out how great it is, you should pick up a copy.
I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy action thrillers. With no age restriction in mind, it is suitable for all readers, young or old, because it has the common element that everybody enjoys, which is an exciting action thriller, the fight between good and evil, and the question of who will win at the end. Even though a lot of people prefer good to win, sometimes it's a good change of pace when you come up with something different.
