I learned about Back to Bangka from Jane Harber’s post on Instagram. She is a favorite actress of mine and I really love her voice. Some books are meant to be listened to and that is 100% true about Back to Bangka. I never knew what the Bangka Island Massacre was until now - thank you to Georgina Banks for writing this book and educating me as you also learned of sweet Bud. I particularly liked how Jane narrated Bud’s story and Georgina narrated the bits about her journey/discovery about Bud, the others on Radji Beach and their loved ones. It was beautifully written and truly honors the legacy of the victims that were lost. I appreciated how Georgina didn’t stop searching for the truth until she found it - even though it was painful to discover.

Syndicate operative Juliet Arroway and her best friend, Mariam, a progressive Saudi princess, are tasked with hunting down terrorists and putting an end to the global energy war, the same mission that cost Juliet’s father his life. But when multiple terrorist attacks result in devastating losses, including the death of Juliet’s longtime boyfriend, and the Syndicate begins to suspect that Mariam’s family is somehow involved, Juliet must rise above her heartbreak to discover the truth.

Left Liberal agenda and more about characters feeling and less about main plot.

I have followed Brittany Butler on social media and couldn’t wait until I had a chance to listen to her audiobook. I downloaded it the minute it came out. This was the first espionage book I’ve read and I was not disappointed. Extremely fast paced I listened to several hours at a time. I was able to vividly imagine everything in my head as if I was watching a movie. It would be great to have this book turn into a movie or series! I noticed how attached I became of the characters Juliette and Graham and how anxious, upset then relieved I would get. I can’t wait for Brittany to come out with her next novel she truly as a gift!
