Knowing Stephanie Meyers, I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. The loner, Alex, stays under the radar to avoid her assassins. Her previous job in Black Ops exposed her to too much vital information, and her previous employers knew it. When she is contacted by her previous boss, promising an end to the assassins if she helped with an important case involving a biological weapon, it was too good of a deal to turn down. A flirty mark, loyal dogs, a badass and violent brother... there are so many twists and turns. Betrayal, set ups, SCIENCE, so many good things. I really enjoyed how much science was involved. This book was definitely not what I expected from Meyers, but I really enjoyed it. Doesn't seem her writing style, but it worked! You could definitely tell it was her writing the book, by the awkward and too detailed sex / intimate scenes.
