" This book was an action-packed James Bond type of story. It's not the type of book that I normally read, which is probably why it took me so long to finish and I only gave it 3 stars. My husband really liked it, but it's definitely his kind of book. I can say for the sake of this review that the author accomplished the telling of this story in the way I expected. It was concise, not drawn out. He gave us the information and then followed through with the aftermath, just like he had been given orders to do so. The plot was well entwined and I was unable to predict the ending. I have not read the 2 books prior to this one in the series but I didn't feel that it made much difference. There were times when it was made obvious that the characters had a past together but it was easy to swallow, something that I imagine would be great for people who have read the other two in the series. One thing I find annoying with books in a series is when they go over what happened in the previous books again and again. It makes sections of the book boring, like you've already read them.
The characters are not very deep, but Battles gets away with it because they are all basically undercover and you feel like you aren't supposed to know anything about them. Anything you do know provides you with enough information to understand the dynamics in the relationships and how that relates to the storyline. "
