This is the best A-Tac book so far in the series. The two main characters hook up early in the book, but don't find love until they are brought together again by mystery and then tragedy. Also the mystery of the mole in the A-Tac organization is solved but opens a new story line involving a group called the Consortium. A very good addition to the A-Tac series. ( )

If your looking at this book to read and havent read the first 2 books I recommend doing that first.. This book for the most part wraps up an on going story arc that started in the first book. Dee Davis has created characters that you come to love through out all 3 books. There are more books to come that will have the story of other characters we met in these 3 books. I for one am looking forward to Tucker Flynn story. This was my first time reading this author and I can say after buying and reading the first book I immediatly bought the second read it and then the third.. Sad I have caught up with series and have to wait until July for Lara Prescott story and then August for Tucker Flynn... ( )

This Tyler's story. Tyler is being targeted by a unknown group. She doesn't know why and as people around her are killed she trys desperately to figure out what is going on. Enter Owen who is assigned to find a traitor in A-Tac and right now he thinks Tyler may be it. Good story. ( )

I really liked this one. There was so much going on it kept me turning the pages. Right of the bat the story gets going and it doesn't really slow down.

I liked Tyler, she was tough (very tough) but she was also still a woman and had a softer side to her. There were a few times when she would do something uncharacteristic and she would think to herself "There's the woman in me." I also liked Owen, I had a picture of Sean Connery as James Bond for him. I think that comes from the fact that Tyler kept comparing him to James Bond, and since Sean is my favorite Bond that's who I picture. Very Sexy :-)

Like I said the story is very fast paced. The writing is really good, I could get lost into this one. In my head it played out like a movie, I could see everything in the settings. The writing was so good that the descriptions really brought everything to life. Normally when I read it's more of an emotional connection and I only picture the character that's being described, not the entire scene. But with this one I had everything in the images in my head. It really makes it seem less like I'm reading and more like I'm watching a movie.

I liked the A-Tac "hiding" place. It was really neat that the group runs a college to keep their true purpose hidden. I thought that was a really neat twist. The first time Tyler is on campus I couldn't figure out why, but when Davis explains it I really got into the idea.

I will have to pick up more of Dee Davis' books. And since this was part of a series I think I'll have to start with the first two installments. I really got drawn into this one! ( )
