Good one time read ( ) I liked the concept of using chemistry for interrogating “bad guys”. I also liked the methods used for hiding and protecting oneself from the bad guys. The action sequences kept my attention. However, there was way too much time spent on romance. I’ve never read a romance novel but this felt like one. Also, the Kevin character was ridiculous. He’s an obnoxious loud-mouth that’s a master undercover spy? He’s got more hideouts with more weapons and electronic devices than the government. He’s basically a superhero. Antes trabajaba para el gobierno de Estados Unidos, aunque casi nadie lo sabía. Como experta en su campo, era uno de los secretos más oscuros de una agencia tan clandestina que ni siquiera tiene nombre. Hasta que la consideraron un lastre y fueron a por ella sin avisar. Ahora rara vez se queda en el mismo lugar o utiliza el mismo nombre durante mucho tiempo. Ya han matado a la única persona en quien confiaba, pero sabe algo que sigue suponiendo una amenaza. La quieren muerta, y pronto. Cuando su antiguo jefe le ofrece una salida, comprende que será su única oportunidad de borrar la enorme diana que lleva dibujada en la espalda. Pero eso implica aceptar un último encargo. Y, para su horror, la información que consigue vuelve aún más peligrosa la situación. Decidida a afrontar el desafío cara a cara, empieza a prepararse para la peor pelea de su vida, mientras se da cuenta de que se está enamorando de un hombre que solo puede complicar sus posibilidades de supervivencia. Ahora que sus opciones menguan a marchas forzadas, deberá aplicar su especial talento de formas en las que nunca antes habría soñado. Reading this book was so much fun! Am I the only one that has a movie playing in their head when they watch a book? Well, this movie kicked ass! It was action-packed, it had witty banter, yet it still tugged at your heartstrings, all with the obligatory romance (not a big romance gal over here, but I’ve realized it’s a necessary evil in most books). I REALLY love the characters. More than once I was laughing out loud as I could imagine the facial expressions and hear the tone of the conversation. As someone who prefers explosions in my films, there were more than enough fire and bullets in this book to keep me up way past my bedtime. Then there are the dogs! Oh, my, any animal lover will go gaga over the fur babies in this book. She writes so well that even the animals have real, distinguishable personalities that cause you to instantly fall in love. This novel has the grit of a government conspiracy with entertaining rapport yet still holds a warmth akin to the feelings you hold for your childhood pet. Oh my... Heavens knows I gave this a shot. I am not ashamed to say that I loved Twilight. The Host was like walking through molasses in the beginning but ended up being pretty good. But this. This....oh my goodness! SO MANY WORDS!! SO MUCH DESCRIPTION!! One third of the way through the book could literally have been summed up in two sentences. There was so much attempted "technical" jargon and while this female character was strong and intelligent (that was certainly over explained---and then explained again in case you missed it the first 12 times)--in my opinion she was more whiny than Bella! Every other sentence was her "trying to stay alive" or "protect herself" or a million other whoa is me statements. This one was just not for me. ....for God's sake, just release Midnight Sun, Stephanie! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
