| This was my third Tyler Zahn book and I loved it as much as the other two I've read. Torrens writes tightly plotted, fast-moving action thrillers with characters you love (and when it comes to the bad guys, hate). I especially enjoy the Search and Re ...more | |

“This was awkward to infinity. Alex living here would change my entire routine. I was sharing a bathroom with my boyfriend. How scary was that? I had tampons and pads and everything in there. He was going to be naked in the shower on the other side of my bedroom wall. And I was going to be naked in the shower with him in my house.”
