Dani Vega is a former Army Ranger now FBI agent that sees an assassination happen in broad daylight on her way to work one morning. As the FBI starts to investigate the killing, it quickly becomes apparent that there's a lot more to it than it seems. Dani is sent in undercover with the assassin to investigate the people behind the killing and quickly becomes entangled in a deadly game being shown on the dark web, along with several assassins associated with the original killer. As their captive manipulates the environment to force them to fight each other to the death, Dani is in increasing danger and the FBI and joint task force have trouble finding her. Creative and suspenseful plot and an intense and interesting read.

This was entertaining. There were a few twists with different levels of predictability. The main character was strong. I'm not sure that all of the perspectives were successful (specifically those from the perpetrators).

I started listening to the book originally but I just wasn’t feeling it. I wasn’t sure if it was the book or the narrators. I stopped listening and started reading. Thankfully the book got better. Much better. This book had my heart racing and made me cry too. Time for book 2.

This was the first book by Isabella Maldonado, and man did I love it! Easy 5 stars!
This book followed former Army Ranger, and current FBI agent Daniela Vega, as she goes undercover as a contract killer. The book started off with a bang, and kept me reading until I got until the end. The "game" that was put together was supposed to be a training session for other contract killers to participate in, however, the twists started as soon as they got into the facility. It turned out that they had all been lured their into a escape room style game, only it is deadly.
So many twists and turns in this book, and it kept my heart pounding and coming back for more each page. I can’t wait for the next book to come out in March!

I loved the last series I read by Maldonado and loved that this one had just a whisper of romance
