This was a fun read but I did think it was kind of slow at first. But once the pace started picking up, it was more fun and I felt like I couldn’t put the book back down or else I’d miss out on all the action. The plot twist was executed perfectly and the scenes that followed had me on the edge of my seat. 

I would have loved if we maybe got more romance between the two characters though. Although I would say this book doesn’t seem to be an entire romance spy type of book which is nice! So I won’t harp on it too much.
