Oh my God! I really, really enjoyed this book. I felt every single thing. I was so horrified and dismayed over what happened to P.J. that I couldn't stop reading and go to sleep like I planned instead I spent hours trying to devour the book and see what happened to her afterward. I, of course, fell in love with Cole instantly and I wanted to smack P.J. for what she put him through. Would love to have the next book right now because I really want to see Steele go down!

As much as I want to love this book, I can't.

Maya Banks always gave us the idea of P. J. the only female member of KGI strong and unbeatable. She's fierce and smart too. But in this book, I can't even feel the 'strong' P. J. I don't like it.

In this book, P. J. is too easy to be fooled, and not to mention emotional. Sure I totally understand because everything she has been through is unfortunate, but seriously, her attitude's pissing me off.

But overall, I enjoyed it. What's going on with Dolphin anyway? He's having a crush on P. J.? Can't wait to read Steele's story and eventually, RUSTY'S! :)

I have to admit I really wasn't all that excited about P.J. And Cole's book but I love this series so I bought it yesterday and started it just after midnight. I could not put it down! I've never been disappointed in a Maya Banks book but she took one I really wasn't that interested in and made it one of my favorites in the series. The journey that P.J. and Cole go through was so sad but I loved that it wasn't rushed. I am looking forward to a lot more books in this series!

This series is not that good anymore. The first four books were good, but the last three, not so much. There was a rape scene in this book, and I don't like rape in books. I'm kind of regretting spending $7.99 on this book. The next book needs to be about a Kelly. The books that were about them were the only good ones.

We all can't be happy all the time. Bitching about the mission not being until the end versus the mission always in the same place?

I love P.J. and like Cole says, she is who I'd want watching my six. She is just bad ass. Cole is pretty good too. How many men couldn't handle how tough P.J. is?

This was a shit story and I mean it was about horrible stuff. Trafficking and the sickos that thrive in and from it- I don't even know where to begin.

This series has its good ones and bad ones and thankfully this was a pretty decent one.
