What's Your Story: Ryan

Please share some of your background:
I am a 22 year old woman from Arizona. I’ve been reading Mitch Rapp books for over a decade now. I majored in political science at Northern Arizona University and I’m an avid consumer of anything political, especially Vince Flynn and Kyle Mills books.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I started reading Mitch Rapp when I was eleven years old. I had finished reading Foreign Influence by Brad Thor, as my dad’s bookshelf became my favorite library. I’ll never forget sitting in sixth grade with a hard copy of The Third Option.

Which book is your favorite?
It is impossible to choose but I’d say The Third Option, because it taught me there is always another way to get what you need. Think outside the box. Or American Assassin because we finally got Mitch’s training days! And Stan action.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Mitch is the favorite because well, he is Mitch! But also Irene Kennedy because she is so strong and independent and the female director of the CIA. However, Grisha Azarov is also up there because he’s the only character that ever got close to actually beating Mitch. I actually named my cat Grisha, after him.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Mitch Rapp. I love the action and his dedication and fights. He would do anything to keep his country, family, and beliefs in tact. A true Patriot and fighter.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
I cried when Vince died. But Kyle kept my idol Mitch alive in his wonderful books. I’m forever thankful for this series.
