 Jack is in the middle of an undercover operation when his cover is blown by a legendary assassin, Ethan Blade. Forced to work together to escape, Jack discovers things are a lot more complicated than he first thought and he and Ethan have to work together to discover a mole at Jack’s agency. 

I had a really hard time getting into this. I did not like the dual timelines. I love a dual timeline but this jumps from past to present every other chapter making it really hard to keep up with for me. And that made it hard to get attached to the story and characters. However, I stuck with it and by 60% I was all in. I think I also would have had an easier time reading this one as the audio was not good. The narrator was just reading it at first. (However, He did improve as the book went on and I’m on the second one and the narrator has really improved!) That all being said, this was action packed and Jack is sarcastic and fun. I like the mystery of Ethan Blade, deadly but really sweet? As the story came to its end I still found myself wanting to keep going.
