My review: “My life was perfect. I had worked very hard for what I had achieved, then a mystery man came into my life and everything changed.”

It was her senior year, and Seryna goes to her first party, gets drunk, and almost gets raped. Then she’s saved by the mystery man. Who was he?

Her life was all planned—graduate, go to college, become a doctor—but her world suddenly filled with doubt and uncertainty ever since she saw the mystery man. With no luck in finding him or learning who he was, she wondered if she imagined him, if he was even real. For once, she was not looking forward to her future. “What if I can’t live up to this perfect girl they all think I am?” (LOC 290)

Then, one night, the mystery man finds her again and sparks a passionate encounter. “I should stay away from you, but I can’t.”

Book had an easy narrative and a story you just fall into. The mystery behind Kieran and why he kept showing up was alluring. Then her world is turned upside down when she realized that her father might be the leader of a dangerous narcotic that’s being passed around, putting people in danger; and Agent Kieran was hired to stop it.

There was a slight lag as she becomes smitten and infatuated in a fast, sexual romance with the daring and altruistic Kieran. Ever since the beginning, she just couldn’t take her mind off of him. Still, it doesn’t deter from working the case, whether her dad was innocent or not. Can they stop this before more people get hurt?

It’s an interesting spy thriller, even though tempered by the pensive eagerness of a young girl, which made it more worthy as a coming-of-age romance. But it’s a pretty good read once you get into it. The ending certainly is a bombshell that will undoubtedly continue in Book 2.

My rating: 4 stars
