Mis expectativas eran realmente altas y me defraudó. Como pudo la misma persona escribir la saga Twilight y este libro? Carbon monoxide is a kind of chemical thug. It suffocates its victims by simply muscling oxygen out of the way.”

I just wished they could have taken all of the dogs and that's all I'm going to say on that because you need to read the book! 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. I still love Daniel because he's a really sweet person and he's a pretty decent learner and excellent with a gun =)

Careers

Daniel (Ian) is the more innocent, trusting brother who can see into the girl's heart and knows she's truly good. I should’ve had more faith, because this was a pretty amazing book. The only reason I gave in and read it is because both my mother and grandmother were raving about how much they loved it. I was skeptical, but they were totally right. This was one of the best spy thrillers I’ve ever read, on par with or perhaps even surpassing the likes of Patterson and Ludlum. It was what I was so hoping to find in Dean Koontz’s Jane Hawk series that disappointed me last year. Who would have guessed that Meyer had this kind of skill lurking beneath her teen paranormal romances?

First we have Alex, or whatever her name was, she's this big, scary, on-the-run torture-chemist. And I just wasn't feeling it. I have a love-hate relationship with Stephenie Meyer's work, and I think a lot of other people feel that way, too (even if they won't admit it). I'll start by saying that, yes, I do like TWILIGHT. The book, that is. Not the movie. I read it almost ten years ago, and I was at the perfect point in my life where it actually made a lot of sense to me. Because of that, I will always have fond feelings for Bella and Edward's admittedly self-absorbed world. This plot should be the bomb-dot-com. Female assassins? Political intrigue? Deadly missions? Yes, yes, and yes. Unfortunately, it was not bomb-dot-com. More like lame-dot-org.

Products and services

YES I read it and I enjoyed it. 3.5 stars, rounding up. Final review, first posted on Fantasy Literature: For those of you who may have never read a Stephenie Meyer book, please, I implore you, do not start here. If teenage angst and sparkly vampires are not your cuppa then might I recommend The Host. It is a highly enjoyable read.
