If you love the idea of a fun, swoony, heist science fiction novella, Full Speed to a Crash Landing is for you. It has tons of betrayal, sabotage, and never knowing who’s on your side. I cannot wait for the next one! Keep reading this book review of Full Speed to a Crash Landing for my full thoughts.
Summary
Ada Lamarr may have gotten to the spaceship wreck first, but looter’s rights won’t get her far when she’s got a hole in the side of her ship and her spacesuit is almost out of air. Fortunately for her, help arrives in the form of a government salvage crew—and while they reluctantly rescue her from certain death, they are not pleased to have an unexpected passenger along on their classified mission.
But Ada doesn’t care—all that matters to her is enjoying their fine food and sweet, sweet oxygen—until Rian White, the government agent in charge, starts to suspect that there’s more to Ada than meets the eye. He’s not wrong—but he’s so pretty that Ada is perfectly happy to keep him paying attention to her—at least until she can complete the job she was sent to pull off. But as quick as Ada is, Rian might be quicker—and she may not be entirely sure who’s manipulating who until it’s too late…

(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
I fell in love with this novella from the title. Did someone know that my kryptonite would be space heists, secrets, and swoons? Full Speed to a Crash Landing was constantly surprising me and never more than at the end. This was a roller coaster from start to finish. I loved Ada, her banter, her cleverness, and her recklessness. She’s my hero. And Full Speed to a Crash Landing, while being the first of a series and a shorter book, packs a punch. It feels fully encapsulated, like a mini episode of a series.

And that fully sums up Full Speed to a Crash Landing. It was a pure enjoyment to read. I looked forward to reading it every night. It’s like a heist with elements of a romance and plenty of secrets. If you love the idea of a science fiction that is fast paced, thrilling, and funny at the same time, this is for you. Ada could scam me and I’d say thank you.
