Good storyline but even listening faster I still had to skip over very long and dragged out descriptions of unnecessary detail. For example when Jack was trying to pick a numerical padlock there was a full three minutes of description whereas the actual doing of the thing would have taken less than a third of that. It’s as if she did all this research and wanted her readers to KNOW HOW MUCH research she did, choosing that above a well edited story. I hate listening to books on fast and I hate to skip and I was forced to do both over and over. So disappointing however the story itself was great.
Needs editing for detail and granularity.

Good but one perfect couple was better. This one had a lot of predictable things

This feels like a female main character version of The Fugitive. I knew about 30 pages in exactly what was going to happen.

I enjoyed the tense chase scenes in this book. The hacking perspective was different, but not my favorite. I found myself skimming much of the tech language.

There are repetitive passages in the chapters, mostly about how much Jack misses Gabe.

It was fairly obvious who the "bad guy" was but the motive took a little longer to come to light.
