Funny how these super, amazing, unbelievable agents always manage to be so stupid and survive! Still, I enjoyed it... ( )

I received a complimentary copy of the book for review, and would first like to say thank-you for the opportunity to read it.
Basically the plot line revolves around a highly trained female special ops type spy on the run from assassins. The action is literally non stop from start to finish. Violent, raw, sexy and gut wrenching all at the same time. It will really get your heart pounding. ( )

Started February 06th, 2014.
Got this and the 2 following books in the series as an Amazon-EBook-Daily-Deal cheap and started two days after buying them, to take break from [b:The Maze Runner|6186357|The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1)|James Dashner|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1375596592s/6186357.jpg|6366642].
Instant non-stop action, a bit much without a chapter break (there are only 3 chapters for the whole book as far as I can see), backstory is well integrated in the narrative.
The non-stop-action does not work for me, with reluctance I give 3 stars, for the first book in a series, but that may not be the case with the next books. More like 2 and a half stars.
As is, not very realistic, to many situations where an escape is impossible, deus ex machina (I just looked it up, to be sure I was right).
The characters are well described and the location is for once not one of the boring too-often-used ones (LA, SF, NY come to mind), but instead: Chicago. So, for this alone the other half point for a total of 3.
It is not too long and I would characterize it as assassin-fast-food.
If interested try to get it cheap, as I did or lend it.
No recommendation and I am not sure when I will get to read the next 2 books in the series. ( )

Delightful escape reading. on the edge of my seat, strong female lead character, i wish there were a dozen more of these to read. ( )
