I loved this journey about a kickass heroine Alex, a medical doctor who specializes in concocting chemical weapons of torture for the government. She is an expert in getting information from terrorists. When her own agency kills her partner, she goes on the run for her life.

Enter twin brothers and the story progresses in leaps and bounds, and I couldn't do anything but read this thrilling, breathtaking story without a break!

I loved each character, felt their pain, rejoiced and cheered in their successes and was depressed when things went wrong. I was delighted to read about dogs in the story, as they played a vital part in the strategy of the protagonists plans.

Of course, I wanted to take them all home, especially Einstein! My love of dogs is all consuming!!!

Absolutely LOVED this book. 5 Stars!

One wild ride that kept me glued to the pages! Who knew I would enjoy a badass heroine--a professional torturer--so much? Her on-the-run lifestyle was fascinating, and her unexpected partners were awesome in their own rights. Intelligent and entertaining. You really don't want to miss this one. 4.5 stars.

I was really surprised by how much I liked this book. I was not a fan of the Twighlight books, but this book sounded very intriguing so I thought I would give it a chance. The main character used to work for a secret sector of the government that dealt with retrieving vital information from terrorists by using chemical torture. Now she is on the run from the same agency who is trying to kill her. She has been focused on living for three years, but when she finds out that there is more to her story than she knows and she isn't as alone as she thought she was, is she going to be able to let her guard down and trust anyone else, if it will help save her?
