“She’d risked her life for both. Could she ally herself—even on a temporary basis—with someone who had no loyalty, no allegiance, and no moral compass?” 
 
Directed by her superior to an issue in a different direction, Daniela Vega stumbles into an assassination in broad daylight. Disregarding her directive, she follows the assassin which brings her to puzzles after puzzle that turns into a dangerous undercover assignment. Choosing which side of the law to play on becomes a hard decision when her life, and lives of others are on the line. 
 
“So far, her new cohorts consisted of a muscular misogynist and a knife-wielding mutilator. Lovely.” 
 
Read this book if you like action, thrill-rides, a strong FMC, or just a really good fast read. It’s a page turner IMHO. Every time I thought I had the plot twists figured out the author threw in a new one, and I was off spinning in my mind again. I was engaged and cheering for Daniela to prove herself in this story, and I’m ready to read the next. This would be a great television series!
