Underground by Cassandra Carr


Underground Serial
by Cassandra Carr
Genre: Black Ops/Military, Action, Suspense




Off the Grid, Underground 1- The seemingly impossible has happened. The unthinkable. Those I trusted most have betrayed me. I’m a hockey player, and gave control of my finances to my parents so I could concentrate on my game. Big mistake. They stole from me, bankrupted me, in fact. And then someone come looking for money I don’t have and I made a terrible mistake; one that will haunt me forever.
But now someone has found me and offered a new start. I would no longer be a hockey player, I wouldn’t even be an actual person, totally off the grid. I’d be a shadow, fighting crime for an organization that’s underground, literally. Do I want that life?
If I go back, what kind of life would I have? Probably one in prison orange. The choice to join Underground is painful, but necessary. As my hockey coach always said, though, pain is weakness leaving the body. I will not be powerless ever again.

Rating: ☆☆☆☆

Ethan doesn't believe the letter that he got telling him that his parents haven't filed taxes for him in three years. His life is now destroyed and all he has worked for is gone. Ethan left , he had a feeling someone was following him, so he stopped at a rest area and when he came out he saw two people in suits by his car. He gets worried they told him that they weren't there to hurt him, they were there to help him. The introduced themselves as Maline and Andre and that they run a organization called the Underground. Ethan is the hero of this story. 

Ethan is in his early 30's, he has a really good slapshot and he is a pro hockey player. Maline is the one who picked Ethan for the Underground, she also runs the Underground. Andre is Russian and he runs the Underground. Danny is the Tech Guy for the Underground. Ciana is 26 years old, a weapons engineer for The Underground.She also has a PHD. Frank is short for Frankenstein. He is really tall and is an operative for The Underground.

This is my first book by Cassandra Carr and it wont be my last. I loved the style of writing. How well the characters were developed. It's a fast read and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.


Creating Slapshot:
I’ve left my old life behind and officially joined Underground. It appears no one knows where I am or even if I’m still alive. I don’t know how I feel about that. My friends thinking I’m dead leaves a hole in my heart, but I’ll drive myself crazy if I obsess about it. So rather than allowing myself to wallow in self-pity or anger about what’s happened, I’m throwing all my energy into training. You would think that whole “elite athlete” thing would make everything easier, but all these new techniques I need to master—hand-to-hand combat, weapons training, surveillance procedures—are kicking my ass.
For my whole life, I’ve only had one identity. Ethan, hockey player. Now that sense of self is gone forever, slowly being replaced by my new identity, Slapshot. Surreal doesn’t even begin to describe this transformation. But the more I find out about the world around me, the problems I ignored for the most part as I played a game for an obscene amount of money, the more I want to make a difference. This is not a game. It’s real life, and I have the chance to be a hero. It’s going to take everything I have—or have left, to do it.

Ethan watched his former Hockey team loose to Boston. He was picked up by the clean up crew to go to the Underground. He is working on becoming Slapshot. Frank is going to help him work on his hand to hand combat. Andre took him to the gun range and tells Slapshot his story. Maline and Andre decided that The Underground would all live together, so someone is always around to support you.

Ethan is a former professional Hockey player. Working for the Underground. Ciana is the one who makes the weapons. Maline runs the Underground. Andre is Russian, in his fifties and he runs the Underground. Frank works on training Ethan. Danny is the Tech guy. 

This is a great continuation of the first book.This is the second book in the Underground series. I truly am loving this series. I cant wait to read the next book. The style of writing was amazing, the characters were very well developed. I loved that I was hooked from the first page.
