A review by melimarkstein
Hell & Back by Julie Rowe

3.0

“I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”

Let's start with the basic:
The novel goes about a woman that works in a US lab (sorry if my terminology is not correct). But apart from being there because...it's her job, and she likes it. She has been sent by her parents to investigate and find moles that are involved in a "biological war". Here comes the interesting thing: the guy who is leading her, her mentor it's too hot not to notice, so you know what comes after this:
- Fight scenes
- Secrets
- Romance
What more would you wish for?
Personally, I'm a sucker for fight scenes and immersing myself in the movements that the characters are involved into.
The writing was in a 3rd person, but it was really well blended. The scenes were never overlapped and I got to see and understand their minds.

What I didn't like:
The secret that was meant to unravel was done pretty quickly and was brushed to a side, without giving a proper explanation.
The other aspect that hit me was that the end was too......" And they live happily ever after". Clearly, this is a personal opinion. The epilogue was pretty quickly and, as I said, the ending was too "bright".

Obviously, this is all my opinion.
Nevertheless, I recommend reading and feeling all the sparks that you find throughout this book.
