A much better read than the first book in the series. I am getting to like Cami Lark. The book continues to follow Cami’s tech savvy as she reluctantly works for the FBI.

Another great suspenseful binge. I love a classic serial killer/fbi story. These are fun to read and I love how there is an interlocking bigger plot that we dig into with each of the stories. Excited to read next one!

Hackers beware Camy Lark is in the area! I really don't know if all that Camy does is really possible but I wish I could do at least 50% of what she is able to. She still has to find her proper path with the FBI as sometimes she seems to be much younger than her years without realizing the consequences of her actions. She is able to help Connor to catch a serial killer who is rapidly escalating the number of assassinations he makes. The story is fast-paced and relatable, and the end is just one more proof of Camy's naiveté. I'm looking forward to learning what will happen in the following book. I thank the author for the ARC.

4/5stars✨. I listened to this one as an audiobook, & truly enjoyed it. This is the second book in the series. There were some unexpected quirks that popped up. For starters the author kept repeating the some word over and over again. Incredulously. Over and over and over I heard the word incredulously. If I had been playing my a drinking game, I would have been drunk. The first book didn’t have that word so much, at least I don’t think it did. She did tone down the anti government/cop prejudiced, which I appreciated. As a millennial, I can relate to all the tech talk. With that being said 4/5stars✨.

Just Outside (A Cami Lark FBI Suspense Thriller

I am getting to like Cami Lark. This time Cami and her Boss Connor have to stop the person who's killing women because they are being bullies to people on line. Im the mean time she has been told by Conner's boss, Agent Fraser that she has to work for a year to make up for all the trouble she caused when she hacked the FBI. Fraser who is in charge of the Boston office and gave her a chance to not go to jail by helping the Boston office whenever they needed her expertise. So far I like this series. It's a good read.

Good read

Very interesting book. I am not into IT, but reading this series has made it where I can understand it a bit better. I wasn't sure I would like this series because of the storyline dealing more in depth with computers. I am enjoying it and look forward to reading more books in this series. My take away from this book is be careful what you say on the internet as someone may take it the wrong way and that could be bad!

Now that Cami is under contract with the FBI for a year, she may as well make the best of the situation. Another audio book and book 2 in the series.

Cami is devastated to learn that she must sign an agreement with the FBI with a specified term. Her partner is still prickly but the other young agent is flirty. I’m enjoying the push pull of their working relationship. It’s only a matter of time till he learns to trust the erstwhile hacker.

2.7
Not sure why it keep subjecting myself to the series, but I’m gonna give it one more shot. Everything is unrealistic and the main character is terribly naïve but for some reason, these are quick entertaining reads and apparently I don’t like joy so I listen to them.

[Jenifer Mihalakis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book 2 in the series and I thoroughly enjoyed it more than the 1st. I was on the edge of my seat when they were rushing to the final potential victims house and the altercation that ensued. Can’t wait to read book 4!

FBI- IT

I love the character of Tami and the unlikely scenario of the FBI using an MIT student to help solve cases. Blake Pierce is an excellent writer and keeps you in suspense.

Good. Short, but interesting. A little predictable but I like it, and I like Cami. She's so different from Blake's other heroines.

Twists and turns through the book. Easy Read
