In this gripping page-turner, an ex-agent on the run from her former employers must take one more case to clear her name and save her life. She used to work for the U.S. government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon. When her former handler offers her a way out, she realizes it's her only chance to erase the giant target on her back. But it means taking one last job for her ex-employers. To her horror, the information she acquires only makes her situation more dangerous. Resolving to meet the threat head-on, she prepares for the toughest fight of her life but finds herself falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival. As she sees her choices being rapidly whittled down, she must apply her unique talents in ways she never dreamed of. In this tautly plotted novel, Meyer creates a fierce and fascinating new heroine with a very specialized skill set. And she shows once again why she's one of the world's bestselling authors.
This book was almost great in condition. Except for the denting. It really is a disservice to customers when you have zero protect for your products while in shipping, but this is on the pretense that the damage occurred while being shipped. Not happy at all. I suppose I am just going to have to buy new only.
Excellent

For me, a very good & fast read. Took me 2 days to complete. Makes you think about a world in the depths of our dark government, that only a few results know about. Kinda wishing there was a follow up, to see how life actually turns out for the characters, although the book does end without any loose strings.
Different and wonderful!

I was really surprised I loved this as much as I did. I only read it because I’m a fan of Stephenie’s other work.
But, this is a great read! It’s an adventurous, science fiction tale with
Funny characters.
Good book!

I really like Stephanie Meyer's books, and this would make another good movie too.
Not so good

I think it's now time for me to just admit Stephenie Meyer is no longer for me. I enjoyed her books when I was younger, not so much now.
