I'm a little conflicted about this book. On one hand, it definitely kept me turning pages and I enjoyed it immensely. The storyline was engaging and the mystery behind it was very intriguing. But on the other hand, there were some things that didn’t sit with me well and therefore diminished my overall enjoyment of this book.

What worked for me:

*Male POV : The story is told entirely from the hero's point of view and boy did the author nail it. Yes, there is a lot of cussing and tons of filthy words. Some people may find the hero's language vulgar, crude and rough but I think it makes the story sound realistic and believable.

*The plot: I have a confession to make. As soon as I see keywords like “military”, “cop”, “special ops”, “undercover” and other drool-worthy synonyms, I’m a goner.



So when I read that this book was about an undercover DEA agent, I didn’t think twice. And I wasn’t wrong. The story was hot, engrossing and believable.

What didn't work for me:

*Storytelling: This book has a lot of descriptions, especially in the first half of the book. I’m not talking about the descriptions of the surroundings, I'm talking about the retelling of the events. There’s a lot of telling instead of doing or showing. And on top of that, there is a lot of internal talk but that didn’t bother me much because it gave me the chance to get into the hero’s head.

*Heroine: I don’t know what to think about the heroine, I never fully connected to her. I like that she's strong and smart but the author never gives us a chance to get to know her better.

*Lovemaking scenes: I’m not saying that they are not hot because they are. Now, I'm not shy by any means, I’ve read tons of much kinkier and way more explicit books. It’s just that sometimes those scenes felt over the top.



Still, even with all its shortcomings, this book is a very hot and entertaining read if you are looking for something to pass your time without too much emotional drama.

I should have stopped after the introduction, the book starts of by introducing us to the hero, who happens to be After that the writing just didn’t work for me, nor did the interactions between the so-called hero and heroine.

“Some people might say we were fools rushing into this. I’d tell them to shove their opinions up their asses. I didn’t know what I was missing until she came into my life, and then I soon discovered I could never left her go.”

What a fantastic read. Moth is my first book by author Jennifer Foor and it will not be my last. I am sitting here kicking myself for not checking out her books sooner.

Moth follows the story of Timothy aka MOTH and Windy Lewis. Moth’s life is turned upside down when his stepbrother is killed in a drug deal gone wrong. In an effort to seek the truth and bring his brother’s killer to justice, Moth must go undercover. Pretending to be a new college student, Moth hopes to find the answers he seeks and infiltrate those close to his stepbrother. His main focus; a woman named Windy Lewis. Moth believes that Windy is the key to what he seeks. Moth comes up with a plan to seduce the mysterious Windy to get answers. Only he never planned on falling for the woman in question. The closer he gets to Windy, the more he learns and the truth he discovers might just be more than he bargained for….

I really enjoyed Moth. I found the story to be well written and suspenseful. The story pulled me in from the very first page. It had me asking a lot of questions and I enjoyed following along with Moth while he was searching for the truth. I loved the chemistry between Moth and “Windy”. I couldn’t wait to see how things would play out. Would Moth fall for the girl? Was Windy who she claimed to be?? Can their story possibly end with a happy ending? Don’t worry, all these questions and more will be answered!

As I previously stated Moth is my first book by this author and I am definitely impressed. This story had all the right elements for a good, suspenseful read. There was danger around every corner. Secrets and Lies. Lots of sexual tension. And of course, no suspense novel would be complete without lots of good twists and turns. Overall, a fantastic read. I would definitely recommend checking this one out!

As always I am completely fascinated by Jennifer Foor’s creativity. Her stand alone novels are some of my all time favorites. It pains me that this one fell a little short for me. I don’t know what it was but I just didn’t love this book like have her others in the past.

Moth’s blurb is what drew me to this book and that it was written by Jennifer Foor. I love a good romantic suspense story as much as the other. This one had a very interesting story line, but like I said something was missing. Truthfully I think it was the love story that was built into the story that didn’t work for me. I had a hard time feeling Moth’s and Windy’s connection.

This book is extremely hard to review because it was filled with twists and turns and anything I say to explain my thoughts and feeling would end up spoiling it for other readers. So I really can’t write a long review.

I will say that I did enjoy this book and it is one I would recommend to other fans of Jennifer Foor’s or a fan of the romantic suspense story. This book was told completely from Moth’s POV and moved along at a fairly good speed. Truthfully the only that seemed to slow the pace down, was the romance story line between Moth and Windy. Like I said I can’t explain why and maybe it was only me, but it just didn’t click for me.

As always Jenn’s writing was fantastic and I loved the storyline. This book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t wait until everything was revealed. I will say I was thrown by some of the surprise reveals Jenn gave us. I didn’t see most of them coming. This is a book that will suck you in right from the beginning and keep you guessing until the very end.

When Jennifer Foor writes suspense boy does she leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. Teasing you with a little more, with each new insight we were drawn in further. Add in some saucy banter, flirting and a deliciously sexy alpha and we could not put Moth down.

Timothy Theroux aka Moth is deep in the DEA working to bring down a drug lord in Guatemala. His operation takes a turn for the worst, leaving him deflated, on top of that he receives bad news from home. Taking a step back to breathe and grieve the loss of his brother, his death doesn’t add up and is not all as it seems, there is more to it. Could his death be related to the case he has been working on?

Wanting to find out the truth Moth goes undercover posing as a college student getting close to those who knew his brother. Now known as Monty, a girl on campus catches his eye, a girl who made an appearance at the funeral.

Windy Lewis is mysterious and sexy, she screams sex appeal and is unlike any woman Moth has come across before. The more he gets to know her, the more he discovers the layers that begin to unravel. He is caught between wanting her and getting too close on a personal level, exposing himself could damage and bring down his case. He needs to pull back to get the answers he needs. Can he hold back on his sexual desires and keep things professional or will wanting to BE with someone and be honest override?

There is more to Windy Lewis then meets the eye, just what is she hiding and how did she know his brother?

With the ending of every chapter we couldn't help but keep reading more and more. Once you start you won't want to stop! Jenn Foor will keep you gripped to this book, your theories will start and she will throw a spanner in the works. Expect the unexpected!

3 STARS!

Once in a while I'll be in the mood for a suspense read where you want to be taken on this roller coaster ride of events. So when I read the blurb about undercover DEA agent, wanting to unravel events tying the death of his stepbrother and a Guatemalan drug lord, it caught my attention. When love is involved, things are bound to get interesting. When his heart is on the line, will he choose justice for his brother or the love of a woman he has fallen for? Can he possibly have both?

Thoughts:

PLOT LINE - From the start, you'll get a feel of Moth's life. When you're on the hunt to take down Alizar, there is no time for relationships. He's focused on keeping his team alive and uncovering the drug distribution plans and finally catching the guy. But, when there is a mole in the group, plans suddenly change and people start dying. A unexpected death, tying his brother to his mission, is just the icing on the cake. He'll do whatever it takes to take down the one man who decided to take things personally. The story flows pretty quickly from one event to another, with a couple twists I did not see coming. It was not as much of a roller coaster ride as I expected but it can still hook you on some spots, especially when Windy comes into the picture.

CHEMISTRY - Moth was intrigued the moment Windy walks through the door. Of course the one woman he is attracted to, he can't have. That forbidden romance will build the tension that will take some bets off the table. Windy is certainly a mystery. When Moth's team start to uncover her past and discover that she may be linked to both his brother and Alizar, he'll want to get as close to her as possible. The closer he gets and emotions begin to arise, lines start to blur and he doesn't know who or what to believe.

The synopsis was very intriguing.
I'm all for men in uniform... undercover.. posing as a college student.. love!!!
Right up my alley! Yay me!
But, I gave Moth 3 stars because certain aspects I enjoyed, I really did, and I am by no means a prude and have read male pov before, but the crudeness was a little too over the top for my taste to rate it any other way.

Moth has one hell of a potty mouth!
He's a man, a DEA agent, they cuss... I get it. Fuck, I cuss too!
But to be honest, I found it a little hard to stay focused on the actual story with all of the...



and...



that was being thrown around, everywhere.

Yes, there was this...



... which I did enjoy, but if I didn't know any better, I'd say this was a male author writing to a male demographic.
The descriptions and main character's internal dialogue and thought were just too overly crass for my taste. It was distracting.

I did enjoy the mystery and suspense of the story... the twist I didn't see coming, although was trying to figure out, was pretty darn good!
I was intrigued and getting excited at what was to come, though unfortunately I rolled my eyes at the wording being used so many times I gave myself a headache!

The blurb says it all, "MOTH pretends to be interested in the mysterious woman, only to fall victim to his own desires." We are introduced to the closed off and tough Agent Douglas and learn all about his assignment in Guatemala. As a DEA agent, Moth is strictly about the job. No time for funny business and definitely no time for romance.

"My life doesn't have room for romance or feelings. It is what it is." ~ Moth

He's been chasing down the head of a drug cartel for years and now it's become personal. Moth is already plagued with demons from the past and hopes this latest tragedy has nothing to do with him. They only way to find out for sure, is to head to Virginia where it all went down. Once there, Moth realizes the situation is exactly what he hoped it wasn't, along with a beautiful girl he doesn't trust.

A fact finding mission has turned into a full blown whodunit and who can you trust case. Moth is sure of his brothers in arms, but nobody else. Especially the girl that seems to be tailor made for him. A perfect fit. A choice he'll have to make to save his life.

The book is well written and chock full of action sequences. I liked the premise of the story and the extremely sexy scenes once the ball gets rolling, however I never felt fully invested in the story. Moth was hard to warm up to, although sexy as hell. At the 80% mark things really started to fall into place, but it was a little late for me to get on board.

A great Romantic Suspense, Jennifer Foor amazes me again with a great read. Truthfully I'm not a huge fan of suspense, I read very few that I can say that I've actually really enjoyed. This one however was pretty great it held my attention and kept me wondering what was next but with a little romance mixed in too. I don't want to get too involved in the story but it was a great one and Moth (Timothy Douglas DEA agent) was a an easy "alpha" Hero to enjoy. The story is told in his POV which was unigue and well written. I'm looking forward to more from Jennifer Foor but also maybe more from these characters. Grab it and try it out I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

Lots of Secrets

This is a pretty good read. I must admit I hated the H the first half of the book! Moth is an arrogant smug ahole. This author did redeem him by the end of the book though. My favorite quote is “Where did you learn how to act around a woman, d****bag school?” The h apparently agreed with me lol. This book has lots of action and suspense, a bad cartel leader, a mole in the DEA, a hardheaded father, trustworthy coworkers and two people who are lying to each other but start falling for each other.

Love Finds You!!!

Timothy "Moth" Douglas, a DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent was working along with his team working to bring down the head of the Lacosto Cartel, Roberto Alizar.

Alizar was running a drug trafficking operation, as Moth and his team were about to bust the criminal. The latter turned the table on them, leaving more destruction in his wake.

After Moth's stepbrother Jamie was found murdered, Moth went undercover to take down the people responsible for his brother's death. Posing as a student, Moth did everything to find out what his estranged brother was up to.

He got close to Jamie's friends but nothing looked out of place than was until he met Windy Lewis. Moth realized she was the key to unlocking the mystery surrounding his late brother.



Wendy Lewis, a twenty five year old graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. She enrolled at the same school Jamie went to. She knew Moth's brother but she wasn't his girlfriend like she'd told the police. Moth needed to get close to her, in order to find out what she knew.

"Perfect"

"It's a date."

"No. It's two people goind somewhere. I just don't want to show up alone. That's all."

"I get the differ."...."I think you're curious. I think you want to know more about me and this is an easy way to make it happen."

"I guess only time will provide you with that answer. You're unquestionably interesting, but we just met. For all I know you could be a criminal. See you Friday, Moth."


Not only was Moth working on discovering what really happend to Jamie, he also hand his hands full with finding out who the mole in the DEA was and protecting their number one suspect.

Moth never really cared about having any kind of commitment or relationship with a woman until Windy. He found himself getting caught up in his own pretend games. What shocked him was the fact that he didn't like pretending anymore.

"I don’t know what I'd do if something happens to you when we get there."

"Don't worry about me. I'm invincible."

"Don't joke. I know we haven't known each other long, but I care about you."

"I feel the same."

"You do?"

"I thought you would have figured it out. I haven't made it a secret."

"I just figured you enjoyed the sex."

"I mean, don't get me wrong, being with you intimately has perks, but you and I both know there's more."


Windy was in reality Nina, she was forced to do some terrible things because her brother found himself involved with bad people. MOTH and Windy gave into their attraction for each other. Danger was closing in on them, but Moth and his team wouldn't let anything happen to Windy.

Moth wanted something real with Windy, in spite of all her secrets. He was willing to put everything on the line. The man went searching for JUSTICE and instead he found the one thing he'd been avoided, LOVE.



MOTH is the first book in Jennifer Foor's JUSTICE or LOVE series. Moth was fascinating. Loved the unexpected twists and turns. Can't wait for the next installment. I recommend you guys grab yourselves a copy today itself.

I am a huge fan of Jennifer Foor's, so when I saw she had a new book coming out I couldn't wait to read it! The blurb drew me in, and I was so excited for Moth. While there were things I liked here, I had mixed feelings on the story as a whole. This wasn't exactly what I had been expecting and there were some things that I struggled with here.

After a mission gone wrong and his brother being found dead, DEA agent Timothy "Moth" Douglas is determined to get to the bottom of everything that has happened. He will do whatever it takes to make those involved pay for his brother's death. Needing to get close to those that knew his estranged brother, Moth goes undercover as a college student. He knows that Windy Lewis has information that he needs and he knows that she is lying based on what he has discovered and the story that she told the cops. But what starts out as him getting closer to her for information quickly turns into more when he finds himself unable to avoid the pull she has on him. The more their connection grows, the more he begins to wonder if she will be his downfall and if it will come down to him having to choose between justice for his brother or love.

I loved that we got Moth's POV here, and I really enjoy stories that are told from the hero's POV. I find it just gives an interesting twist to romance novels. But while I enjoyed this one being told that way, I also felt like we never fully got to know the heroine here. She just felt surface deep, and I wanted more. Because of that, I wasn't able to feel connected to her or invested in the story the way I would have liked. There was definitely heat and chemistry between them, but I just wanted something deeper. I will say that I thought Jennifer Foor absolutely nailed Moth's character though. He was crude and crass, and it was so authentic and believable. While some might have a problem with that, I thought that it was so perfectly done and felt so genuine to the character that I loved it.

My biggest issue though was that I had a tough time getting into this book. The first half had some promising moments and I knew that there was a ton more to this story was a bit slow to draw me in and I kept losing interest. It felt slow and overly detailed in a way that focused on telling rather than showing. It just didn't have a lot to hold my interest, despite the fact that I wanted to know more. While the story did eventually pick up and there were twists and turns here that definitely took me by surprise, this book wasn't my favorite of Foor's. I think that there are a lot of readers that will enjoy the story, but this wasn't a personal favorite of mine. If you are a fan of romantic suspense and like books told from the male POV this one is worth giving a shot. I really enjoy Jennifer Foor's books, so this won't be the last I read from her.

Moth is an intriguing read that allows readers to work right along with DEA Agent, Moth, in order to bring down a man he's been chasing for quite some time and also figure out if his brother's death has anything to do with his case.

But in order to find out the truth, Moth has to go undercover as a college student, and while he's used to pretending to be someone else, this job is one that will not only risk his life but also his heart because the one person he believes has the answers to his questions is the same woman who may be responsible for his brother's death, and in order to uncover the necessary information, he's going to have to cross boundaries that Moth knows he shouldn’t, but he just can’t help but get in deep with a woman who's leading a double life and has secrets that could harm them both.

Moth definitely proves the idea that things aren’t always as they appear. A lot of the time, people see what they want to see and play roles in order to seek the truth…to seek justice. But, sometimes, the heart overpowers the head and regardless of the need to remain unattached, a connection is made that is risky not only for the case but also for their lives.

Jennifer Foor does a great job of keeping her readers guessing as Moth works the case and seeks justice for his brother. It’s clear from the beginning that Windy Lewis isn’t who she says she is, but whether she’s friend or foe remains in question for most of the story. As much as Moth tries to deny his desire for Windy, he winds up giving in, which might just lead to his downfall or his redemption. But one thing is certain, when every clue has been found and every secret discovered, no one will be the same.

Jennifer Foor tackles romantic suspense in her newest novel, Moth. And boy did she keep me guessing!

Moth is a sexy DEA agent who has been undercover (and SCRUFFY) in Guatemala with his team. They have been there for years tracking one elusive drug lord. This guy is as nasty as they come and the DEA is set to take them down. Yet every time they get close he seems to be one step ahead of them. Then tragedy strikes personally - Moth's little brother turns up dead back in the states. When Moth gets there, he doesn't buy that it is accidental, and begins to investigate what happened. He goes undercover in the college town to uncover what happened. Was this a random drug deal gone wrong? Was his brother involved with the wrong people? Is this just a coincidence that it seems to relate to Moth's line of work? And just who is Windy and how does she connect to it all?

As Moth cozies up to the mysterious Windy he has more and more questions. And he is having a harder time keeping his focus on the investigation and off of the gorgeous woman he is with. This is a first! I loved watching the push/pull between Windy and Moth as Windy fought her obvious attraction to him, and he struggled with the feelings she is invoking in him.

The story kept me on my toes. Each time I thought I knew exactly what was gonna happen there was a twist I didn't see. Moth is full of action, drama and passion and sucked me right in. I wanted to know what happened and why and it kept flicking right through those pages!

If you like a good romantic suspense, make sure you snatch this up!

This book had everything going for it, a great cover, intriguing blurb, was by an author I love, and a genre I usually devour. In the past I have loved Jennifer Foor's work, and generally i am thoroughly engaged and enthralled by her work, unfortunately I struggled with MOTH.
Unfortunately it just didn't live up to my expectations. I found this book really difficult to get into. I really struggled to connect with the first half of the book and for me and at many points I really wondered if I would finish it at all.
I actually enjoyed the second half and that is the reason I have given it 3 stars. I was really pleased when the story picked up speed and found it became more interesting in the second half. I'm glad that i persisted because the twists and turns were quite unexpected and intriguing and the action had me on the edge of my seat. If only it could have been that captivating from the start it would have been a five star read for me.
Due to the mystery in this book it makes it hard to review, without revealing to much of the plot. I felt that more of the focus in this book was on the mystery/suspense rather than the romance, and that lead me to not connect with either the hero or the heroine. I really struggled to feel their romantic connection, until near the very end of the book.
Reading a book solely from the male hero's point of view was different for me and I found some of the swearing took away from the storyline as it was really frequent.
This book would probably appeal to male readers and those who enjoy books of the suspense/mystery genre.

Moth meets Windy after he has to take time out from being a DEA agent as his brother is found dead. Moth soon realises it was no accidental overdose and a murder investigation is launched. Undercover and blending in at his brothers college he meets Windy Lewis. Moth never thought he would fall for a woman after seeing a lot of his team in failed marriages because their job demands field trips for months at a time. Windy is a mystery and Moth seems to think she holds all the answers to his brothers death so tries to seduce her, but Windy doesn't give in to his advances easily, she's a distraction and Moth is maybe getting in to deep can he separate desire from work and find out what secrets she holds?
Ahhhhhhh Moth is my ultimate alpha hero and he can come save me any time he wants! I loved this book and couldn't put it down. The characters are easy to love and connect with and their story is a whirlwind of ups and down's. The book is action packed with hot scenes and angst. The story flows well and It's one of those books that keeps you guessing, but you will never get it so I wouldn't try. My only slight little gripe was I felt the ending was a bit of a  rushed scenario and I would have liked to have seen more of a drawn out epilogue but overall I loved it.

Note: This ARC was provided by InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review.

This was my very first Jennifer Foor read and I appreciated that, not only was it told from the primary character's point of view, but that there was no sweetening of the language involved. Moth Douglas says and does what he says and does and makes no apologies for how they're delivered. He can be quite crass but the appeal isn't in his crudity but in it coming off as authentic to his character. Unfortunately, I didn't feel as if I got to know Windy as much as I did Moth and this was a tad disappointing since she is such an integral part of the story. I failed to feel any sort of connection to her or to her plight and I'm the kind of reader that needs to make that connection or else the emotional investment isn't there and the book simply becomes something to pass the time rather than something to experience. The overall story was intriguing and the writing was pretty good--although there were points in the story were it felt like it just went on and on--and while there may have been a couple of misses, Moth turned out to be a 3.5-star read. ♥

5 Stars!

This book was amazing. I am a sucker for a good romantic suspense that keep me on my toes and on the edge of my seat. And Jennifer Foor hit all of those marks and then some. She gave me a brilliant romance packed with heat, suspense, steam, twists and turns.

Moth was a book that captivated me from the beginning and didn't let go until the end. I wanted answers and raced to the finish for those and that happy ending. And bonus... this is a complete standalone that will make you take you on quite a thrilling ride.

Moth is on a mission. A mission that has put him undercover. He is focused and doesn't need any distractions... especially not from her. Sometimes like throws us a curveball. We either take a chance or not. Moth has a mission... though it might have just changed.

Oh swoon for Moth. The angst. The drama. The suspense. The action. The passion. The twists you won't see coming. Oh man Jennifer Foor made a new fan in me when I finished this book. This book, Moth, will definitely be a top read for me of this year.

Great story of cat and mouse between drug lords and the DEA/CIA/FBI.  Some comedy, too much tragedy, and unexpected passion and pain lead our special agent on a life changing mission.  And now a bit about the story...

Moth is undercover in Guatemala and has a bad feeling, which never ends well... as he worries what will go wrong, he realizes it is a setup.  They don't get the bad guy and lose civilians and one of their own.  Soon after Moth finds out his straight laced brother has died of a drug overdose, not the norm for a DEA agent... As he goes home to grieve he quickly realizes it is all connected.  Now he has another chance to take down the cartel and avenge his brothers death, but what he wasn't expecting may just kill him...

Favorite passages:
- “I don’t quit. I’m relentless. When I want something I’m used to getting it.”
- “Last night you mentioned anyone who hangs out with you is in danger. I’m just curious if you have a vagina with teeth, because if that’s the case I’m out of here.”
- “As soon as I saw it I knew it was the one.”

Five Mysterious Stars! Undercover in Guatemala, Moth is a DEA agent looking for an elusive drug lord, when tragedy strikes and his brother is killed back in the USA. Moth goes undercover to find his brother's killer on the college campus where his brother died when he meets Windy. Moth knows Windy is hiding something but yet they both have a mutual attraction towards one another. Will Moth find the answers he is seeking for who killed his brother and will he give in to his attraction toward Windy? What is Windy hiding and once revealed will that secret ruin things between her and Moth? Ms. Foor does another fantastic job writing this story that keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting to know more. The chemistry between the two characters was fantastic! The story is action packed, suspenseful, and full of romance that you don't want to miss out on it!

I love military, men in uniform stories and this one is no exception. Moth is an ex-military man working for the DEA. He get news of his brothers death and goes home to make sure it has no connection to the case he's been working for years on. There he meets our heroine, Windy. Windy is kind of an anomaly. She doesn't draw attention to herself, even though she's beautiful and you spend the entire book thinking she's working for the wrong side.

The whole book is shrouded in secrets and mystery. Moth is hiding the fact that he's undercover at a college, Windy is hiding who she really works for. It all culminates into a pretty mysterious story. The sex scenes are off the charts hot and he connection between Windy and Moth is hot. It's hard to write a review with little detail so the book isn't spoiled. All I can say is, you need to buy it. It will draw you in from the beginning and everything isn't as it seems.

Get ready for betrayal, secrets, deceit and oh tons of passion between two characters who well don`t know they`re playing each other. Jennifer Foor definitely had me on the edge of my seat for one minute I thought where this story was going and then wham Jennifer throws in an obstacle I never expected. The attraction between Windy and Moth is wow have to say there were times I was like get it on already. There were some scenes that seemed to drag but one thing about Jennifer Foor is that it picks up right away. Really hoping there is more of Moth`s team though they were hillarious to read about making Moth`s job just lauging all the way.

I have loved every book that I've had the pleasure of reading from Jennifer Foor and Moth was no different. Although I will say i was a little hesitant the first 15% of the book of wanting to finish but after taking a small break I realized I was an idiot and dove right back in and can now kick myself in the rear for even considering to put this book down.

Through the entire book i wanted to know more and more ad then finally at 85% or so Jennifer through me for a damn loop and completely blindsided me with the way she made the story go. I had no idea nor never suspected it to go in that direction. And of course loved it.

This book was fast paced from the start!! Moth is deep under in the drug cartel and feels like he is about to close this case when everything turns to the worse. Now headed back home to his brother's funeral, he learns things aren't as they seem. Going undercover to find the answers he meets Windy Lewis and while she may look innocent she is far from it. Can Moth figure out what role she plays in everything before it's too late?

Moth is one HAWT undercover agent!!! Phew!! I love Windy and her spunk too!! This book is full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end!

Jenn Foor is one of my favorite authors. There isn’t a book out there of hers I haven’t read. This book was far different from her past work; but it was one that I could not put down. I will probably even read it again. This writing was fantastic, very well researched and had you questioning a few things. The plot was amazing, and mostly her writing of this book gave me goosebumps. This book would be an amazing movie. I loved this book!
