Surrounded by danger–and coming closer to uncovering a chilling truth about herself and her past–Selena is about to find out just how much deeper she’ll have to go . . . to get out alive.
I didn’t read “The Assassin,” so this book was read as a standalone. I found I didn’t need to have read the first book to enjoy this one. This is a good thriller that keeps the reader interested, but not overwhelmed. At the end there are a lot of surprises and the author does a good job of wrapping it all up in the end.
buku ke 2 nih......cerita berlanjut.... tony memaafkan selena walo sempat merasakan tembakan maut selena juga hehehehehe dibuku ke 2 cerita berkembang & ga mbundeti karepe dhewe lagi. selena diharuskan membantu FBI menghancurkan bisnis wiliam kalo tidak ingin dipenjara or dideportasi. Tony jengkel sekali karna selena mau saja diperalat FBI. tony tidak ingin selena menuruti FBI karna bisa membahayakan diri selena sendiri tapi selena ngotot menuruti keinginan FBI karna dia tidak ingin dipenjara. fobianya akan ruangan gelap & sempit membuatnya ketakutan membayangkan didalam penjara.
selena sekarang tau siapa orang tua kandungnya. selena juga menemukan jurnal wiliam. ternyata wiliam tidak menyelamatkannya di jamaika tp sengaja membayar orang untuk menghajar selena agar wiliam bisa tampil sebagai hero.
ada 1 ucapan selena ke tony yg menurutku sweet banget saat dia merasa tony sangat marah pada selena, selena bilang "jangan berhenti mencintaiku." & tony membalasnya dengan "andai aq bisa." lalu selena dipanggil babe aisssss aq paling suka kalo selena & tony bersweet2 ria begitu.
selena terbiasa sendiri & tersingkir tp kehadiran tony membuatnya merasa dicintai & diinginkan. tony berjanji akan selalu menjaga & mencintai selena.
hmmmmmmm tp jangan berharap dinovel ini ada adegan super hot antara tony & selena ya^^ hehehehehehehe
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I had trouble with this book and speed-read the second half. Why? Because I was unable to identify with the heroine in regards to the man she claimed to love. In his area of expertise she didn't trust him, listen to him or believe him. It was that all too familiar case where the woman dreams of a man who will ignore whatever she chooses to do and forgive and love her anyway. So, halfway through the book I could already see that even though he was right about everything and she was wrong and lucky, Rachel Butler was going to make him ignore the real jeopardy she placed his heart and future in, act like it didn't happen or did't matter and simply preemptively forgive the heroine for anything she does. Ugh.
I already bought the third book in the series and after this find myself now dread reading it.
A great follow-up to "The Assassin" that has Selena returning to the past she thought she'd left behind. From the opening scene when she's been shot at, you can't put this book down.
This book had slow action pace, and was disappointing compared to its predecessor and successor. Still, it did advance the series a bit and cannot be skipped.
