"EMP Honeymoon" by Dorothy May Mercer is a riveting thriller that immerses readers in the whirlwind adventure of newlyweds Kelly and Tom on Honduras Island. When Kelly stumbles upon a hidden computer lab in a piggy gift shop, she unwittingly uncovers a sinister plot involving electromagnetic pulse attacks. With Kelly's brother, Senator Mike McBride, and a team of dedicated individuals, including the enigmatic Steve, they delve into a high-stakes investigation to thwart the impending catastrophe. Mercer skillfully interweaves multiple narrative threads, from the couple's idyllic honeymoon to the machinations of an enraged dictator and a covert military operation. The characters are richly developed, and their actions are believable yet tinged with urgency and depth. Despite facing seemingly insurmountable odds, Kelly and Tom's unwavering patriotism and determination shine through. "EMP Honeymoon" is a gripping tale of love, danger, and sacrifice, earning a well-deserved five-star rating for its compelling storytelling and immersive world-building.

The story follows newlyweds Kelly and Tom as they embark on what was supposed to be a blissful honeymoon. However, their plans take a dramatic turn when Kelly stumbles upon a dark secret hidden within a seemingly innocuous piggy gift shop. From there, the narrative unfolds into a gripping tale of espionage, terrorism, and resilience.

What sets E M P Honeymoon apart is its skillful storytelling and well-developed characters. Mercer effortlessly weaves together multiple plotlines, seamlessly transitioning between the main couple, an angry dictator, a covert military team, and the US government.

Mercer expertly explains scientific concepts and military jargon, ensuring that readers can easily follow along with the story. Additionally, the organization of the book into clear headings within chapters helped to maintain clarity and coherence throughout the narrative.

As the tension mounts and the threat of an electromagnetic pulse attack looms large, Kelly and Tom's unwavering patriotism shines through. Despite the danger, they are willing to put their honeymoon on hold to protect their country—a testament to their courage and dedication.

While "EMP Honeymoon" offers a thrilling narrative filled with suspense and intrigue, some readers might find certain aspects of the story slightly predictable or reliant on convenient coincidences. The plot occasionally relies on unlikely scenarios, such as Kelly's fortuitous discovery in the piggy gift shop and the timely intervention of governmental assistance. Additionally, some characters may feel less fleshed out compared to others, potentially detracting from the overall depth of the narrative. However, despite these minor flaws, the captivating storytelling, well-developed main characters, and immersive world-building ultimately overshadow these drawbacks. The negative aspects mentioned do not diminish the book's deserving five-star rating, as its overall impact and entertainment value remain undeniably high.

I gave it a 5 out of 5 stars rating, and the editing of the book is flawless without any typos or grammatical errors. The writing style is well overall superb.

In conclusion, E M P Honeymoon is a must-read for fans of suspenseful thrillers and compelling romance. Dorothy May Mercer has crafted a truly captivating novel that kept me hooked from beginning to end. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
