Jet by Russell Blake
4.0
Jet used to be a member of the Mossad's most dangerous hit squad, but she gave it all up by faking her death and moving to a remote town in Belize. In book #1 we get the back story of why Jet left, how she faked her death, and who helped her along the way. It starts when Jet's tropical tranquility is shattered by a Russian hit squad. She fights her way out, barely escaping and vowing to figure out what happened.
This book is a good mix of action and story that works as a standalone novel but also sets the stage for more books to come. The characters and action are both very good. Jet reminds me a lot of Jason Bourne, without the amnesia. The plot (Russian oligarchs, revenge, oil rights, occasional CIA intervention) isn't quite as strong, but Jet is worth sticking it out.
