I got this copy from NetGalley in trade for an honest review. Thank you [publisher] for this opportunity to review this book.
I have to give 3 stars out of 5 for this book. I try to finish the book until the end, but somehow, I missed the story completely. I’m not quite sure whether because it’s part of a series and I haven’t read the first 2 books. There are some parts I missed and I keep looking for the explanation during the whole book. Sadly, I got only bits and pieces. Not enough to explain the background story.
For example, who’s Jill, what happen in the previous life with David. For the plot, it’s quite fast pacing but for me it’s a blur. There are 2 completely different plots and they don’t really look connected until the last chapter. The one that doesn’t really connecting is the secret group.
Somehow, I don’t know where the group comes from, what’s the connection with Jill.
Characters are quite interesting. Jill has a lot of personal issue. She’s not on firm ground, questioning lots of stuff. Sometimes she’s too stubborn. Not a good combination. It shows weakness as a woman that works in justice department. Again, I don’t quite aware of the background story of Jill. David on the other hand is a mysterious character. He’s there, mentioned in some parts, and then he’s gone for some parts. Their relationship is not quite clear.
Recommend for those who like a bit of a twist in a story and some political stuff. I think for this one, you need to read the previous books.

Just too much for reality
I wanted to like this book. I lived in Turkey twice and love thrillers, especially international suspense. However, this book needs both copy editing and significant developmental editing. The story line was over the top with a predictable plot and ending. I read to Chapter 22 then skipped to the last chapter and didn't miss the missing chapters. The Turkish references were either incorrect or ridiculous. I had hoped for a more sophisticated read.

This story was way over the top! The author really utilized their imagination when writing this story. It was so far beyond anything that could actually happen that I had a hard time reading this story.
The author did a mediocre job with character development and storyline. I thought there was little planning out into the plot. The whole story, while crazy, was very predictable. I felt I could have skipped whole chapters of this book and still known what was going to happen. This one just wasn't for me.
