I rarely read Sci Fi novels. There just something about space that doesn’t really speaks to me. But since I read two previous books by Amanda Bouchet, and loved them, I found myself intrigued by the Endeavor series. I got the second book through Netgalley, but really wanted to read this first book first.

In ‘Nightchaser’ we meet Tess Bailey, the captain of a small crew and spaceship. Tess and her crew are on the run for a vicious military general. And when the end seems near, there final try to escape succeeds and they end up a long way from home with a battered ship. Here Tess meets Shade Ganavan, a handsome guy who seems to good to be true. He says he can make her ship, and get her all the parts for a good price. Now Tess has to decide fast if Shade can be trusted to help her and her crew out.

‘Nightchaser’ is one of those books that starts right in the middle of things. We start right in a life or death fight between Tess and her crew, and the general who wants to kill them. At first I wondered if I made a mistake, and started in the second book.. But soon I found out that this really was the first book, and things would be explained. I guess I was just to impatient. Luckily for me, I kept on going and I started to enjoy this book more and more.

This book is definitely packed with suspenseful moments, but there are also a lot of moments that made me swoon. Tess and Shade definitely have this intense chemistry between them, and I loved them right from the start. What I loved most was the fact that Tess was this hardcore captain, but only on the outside because she had to be tough. She really wasn’t all that tough at all. And Shade saw that from the start.

I must admit I  enjoyed the Sci Fi moments, like the spacewalking, spaceships etc., but I loved the romance between Tess and Shade the most. Funny really. I think this is book the way Amanda Bouchet writes. Her writing makes you want to keep on reading, even if you aren’t a real Sci Fi fan.

This book definitely ended in a bit of a cliffhanger, so I can’t wait to read the next book. Luckily for me, that one is already waiting for me.
