(spoiler alert) This is the 3rd book in the series, and maybe the last? It is about 100 pages to long, i skimmed thru most of it, just catching the important points of the story. And i only read this one looking for the resolution to Kelly and Jake's relationship. I am not fond of government espionage stories and was bored with almost the entire book. But what i liked the least was the ending..... I know books almost always have a cliff-hanger ending to keep you reading the series. But i have not been so irritated with an ending since Karin Slaughter killed off my favorite character in her Grant County series. Kelly is in a medically induced coma from a grenade blast. Jake is at her side, and the book simply ends with her (in her mind) letting go and floating away. I am not sure i will keep going with this series if there are more to come. I only like the relationship between Kelly and Jake, the stories themselves do not keep my attention.

I started reading this book not knowing it was part of a series. Due to references to past incidents I realized it was but the story is "self-contained," you can read just this book and not feel like you're missing something by not reading the two before it. I really enjoyed this book. I liked that the author focused on a homegrown terrorist attack instead of an outside threat. Nice change of pace from what our whole country is focused on right now in real-life.
Story line is totally plausible but book lacked action punch of first two in series.
