The Takedown by Carlie Walker

5.0

---

Well, this was super fun! Also, I had zero clue this was set during the holiday season. While this is not exactly a Christmas book I certainly appreciated all the Christmas vibes! 

.

Sydney is a successful CIA agent and one of the reasons she is so successful is that she has distanced herself from her family. She is focused on her career but when her two worlds collide her life is thrown into chaos. Her new job is to go home at Christmas and investigate her sister’s fiancé. She didn’t even know her sister was engaged. That shocked her. What also shocked her was that she would fall in love with her soon to be brother in law’s bodyguard.

I don’t want to say too much but this book gave it all. It gave Christmas vibes, suspense, love and even a high speed car chase! 

Huge thank you to @berkleypub @berittalksbooks @thephdivabooks  @dg_reads @prhaudio and @netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
