First book in the Eve Duncan-series. Surprising turn in the plot halfway the book. The dialogues in the book between Eve and Logan were sometimes getting in the way of the story, in my opinion. Nevertheless, well worth the read.

One can see she's coming from the romance field, there's a bit of silliness that oughtn't be there, and the premise is wild, not plausible, but still, all in all a pretty good read. Enough for me to move on deeper into the series.

This is a fun and easy read. It's nothing spectacular. I got annoyed at how Eve was portrayed as a "strong" character and yet let the men in her life just decide what she was going to do, until the end when she actually did something of her own initiative. But other than that, I enjoyed the book.

Ooooh this was good. No wonder this series has been so popular over the years. I definitely want to read the next one.

This book was intriguing and I did enjoy the conspiracy plot. The ending was kind of predictable, but it was still a fun little mystery to read and I did enjoy the characters overall.

my at work only book for the past 3 weeks. the MC is Eve Duncan who's only daughter went missing and is presumed dead. despite happening years before the start of the story, it plays an integral part in the plot- her best friend was an fbi agent who worked the case, it's her weakpoint both potential allies and enemies use, and a teaser to draw readers back for a second read.
the best points: the writing style flows easily and at a quick pace without leaving me feeling as if I had no idea what was going on.
in the other hand there weren't a lot of subplots and they weren't handled very well, but more laid down for the next books, in my opinion. I would have liked to have some news about Mandy at least in the epilogue. or what Joe said to his wife, exactly.
