Alexandra Ash is a DEA Special Forces Lieutenant. She is determined, independent, cold and standoffish. After losing the love of her life, Alex is thrown deep undercover to unlock the secrets of a drug smuggling operation and take down the leader.
While she acquires the trust of her beautiful asset Natalie Manson, she realized that she may have gone too deep. So deep, she has to reevaluate what side she’s on, and if she really wants to be there… As the truth starts to come to light, she learns what really happened to the love of her life two years ago, and who her asset Natalie really is. She’s faced with a harsh reality once more.
I can overlook a certain amount of shoddy editing, but the constant tense slips, and confusing sentences, are doing my head in. As it stands, I can't finish this book. I'm too distracted by the errors.
This is one that keeps you on edge from start to finish. While Alex is grieving for her dead girlfriend, she is forced back into the police investigation to try to pin down the drug dealer that caused this. This involves Alex finding a way into his family through his daughter, Nat, and gaining their trust. However, things take a turn when they are getting closer to the truth and she starts to find herself getting closer to Nat, and questioning where her priorities are lying. A really enjoyable story, something a bit different. Alex is a fantastic main character, trying to pull herself through the grief and remain professional, whilst fighting off the guilt she has about having feelings for Nat. Definitely one to read if you like something with suspense.
I received a free copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.
At times I found myself distracted by all the miss-edits—and unfortunately the worst of them are on the very first page—which is a shame because it’s actually a good storyline with some twists and turns you really don’t see coming.
I would say this book is truly a surprise. I didn't expect too much from a new author but it turned out to be out of my expectation. It is a great book that you have to read this weekend. I love how the character Alexandra developed over the time.
A lively and captivating story about how Alexandra life has develop and how did the environment and people are affecting her life.
Bought this months ago, did not really start due to some bad review. However thought of giving it a try after receiving the edited revised copy. Love the main character Alexandra a total cool badass, strong character, certainly a rip roaring tale with plenty of suspense. Unexpected twist with an interesting finale. Good read
I was introduced to this story as a thriller romance, and by all means it lived up to that billing. The book follows agent and rule breaker Alex, as well as her pining roommate Gwen. Alex is heartbroken. She’s lost the woman she intended to marry. Gwen is young but bright, and she sees a lot of the things Alex tries to hide. What follows is dark and tumultuous. There’s a very Luke/Leia dynamic that I could go on about, but it’s better if you read it yourself. The book is unique, and reading it feels like unraveling a long suppressed secret.
This book has offered me the unique and suspense-packaged techniques that I always look out for in a book. This book is a mind-blowing story that can make anybody yearn for more. The techniques in this book is so unique and superb. The plot and the character development is what I found so fascinating. I must commend the author in the area of suspense creation. Each page is loaded with suspense! One can read everything at one sitting.
I can read it again and again. Great job! Well done Alexie!
A semi fast paced, intriguing and very suspenseful story. I was really caught off guard near the end with the twists and turns of the main character but really enjoyed the book. Can't wait for book 2!
This story make you guess since the first episode, is a mix of action and romance. Alex, is a complex character, she is smart, angry and lost. I enjoyed reading it.
