White Hell starts off pretty exciting with Tanner and Sara's plane getting shot down over a frozen lake in Siberia. Then they try getting out of there alive, in a snow storm, with groups of men after them. The writing is vivid but violent with lots of murders. There is a twist to this story where the pair rescue Polina, a 14-year-old Russian girl, who had been kidnapped. Then we see a different side to Tanner. Not the cold, unemotional assassin but a kind and considerate man. We also learn a bit about his childhood. Some of the men who are after them want the girl back, adding to the problem of getting home alive.

I liked the idea of this book but, for me, there were just too many villains to keep straight. They were all after this pair for different reasons but were all in the same place at the same time. Now Tanner and Sara were great. They were 'good guys' and just about everybody else were 'bad guys' chasing them.

I liked Tanner but I didn't find him believable. He was like a superhero. He could sneak up on anybody and kill them without them knowing he was close.

My rating for this book is 2.5 stars. While it wasn't for me, if you like stories with mercenaries and killers, you will like White Hell. ( )
