If you can make it past the clinical beginning chapters and suspend some disbelief, it’s a fun thrill ride with twists and conspiracy. The heroine of this book is more complex than Bella Swan, and darker elements are explored compared to her previous works.

The characters were good but the plot was too weak to carry such a long book and for me the last 100 pages or so really dragged.

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.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't put it down. It was such a fast-paced, intense read and the characters were amazing, as was their development. Stephanie Meyers is amazing at character building and world building.
