[Aimee · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fast-paced thriller that was recommended me by my wonderful auntie. It had a strong storyline with good characters. A must read!

[Alison · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reading this while the Olympics were on added to the thrill of this book! It was a well told story and I like the way we saw different sides of the main characters.

Interesting thriller, a little far fetched, but then it is fiction after all.

[Mel · Rating 2 out of 5]

This went straight into the action, but it lost me from there.
