I think this story could have been a lot better had it been told only from Mira's point of view. Jackson's point of view did nothing for the story. It made the connection between them seem particularly weak. The romance is all instalove. They meet twice - he doesn't believe her and ignores her case - and then all of a sudden they're in the dark somewhere and going on a date. I feel like my copy had sections missing or something. The transition was just choppy. From Mira's point of view we at least see attraction and potential for a relationship. From Jackson's he basically goes from 0 to 150. Plus he's all distracted by the reporter chick.

It felt surreal, the way his eyebrow twisted up in confusion. This was the guy who was about to risk everything for her, who'd been so generous and protective, and... loving. And now it felt like they weren’t even in the same book, let alone on the same page.

Garrett, Jamie. Dark Secret (DARC Ops Book 1) (Kindle Locations 2007-2009). Wild Owl Press. Kindle Edition.


That really summed it up. That they're not in the same book, not on the same page. Told from one point of view only would've made it seem more consistent.

The suspense itself was somewhat interesting but it took a backseat to the romance and that made it weaker. I mean there's all this talk about how Jackson is so good at his job and the best of the best and never gives in - and then he falls asleep on a stakeout?! All of the secondary characters fell flat and weren't fleshed out enough. There was promising glimpses of the friendship between Mira and Lashay but there just wasn't enough content to develop it.

I may or may not bother with the rest of the series. ( )
