She's relying on Michael Pope, the head of the top-secret Group Fifteen, to get her back.When ISIS get involved, the situation becomes even bleaker. Isabella's abductors are in turn abducted, and she finds herself trapped in Raqqa, the capital of the self-styled caliphate.Meanwhile, Pope has problems of his own: a new danger has emerged from the shadows and is threatening both him and his family. His show more only option is to head for the war-torn border of Turkey and Syria--a murderous, lawless place where potential enemies lurk around every bombed-out corner. Pope knows that he is risking everything to find Isabella, but finding the Angel is not a choice--it's a necessity.The Asset is the second part in a continuing story involving Isabella Rose that started with Act I: The Angel. The story will be continued in Act III. show lessTags

Nonstop Action
This book was a great read. It was non-stop action from beginning to end. The only complaint I would have is that the main characters are supposed to be highly trained yet they seem to make a lot of mistakes. Isabella could almost be forgiven of her mistakes because she is young and inexperienced, but don't sell her as someone extraordinary and then have her make mistake after mistake. Pope cannot be as easily forgiven because he is supposed to be the head of an elite group of military special services personnel.

I'm not sure if this is a series of Isabella Rose or Michael Pope. Almost 80-90% of the narrative has Pope as the main character while Isabella seems to be a side character with intermittent cameos every few chapters.
The book is thrilling, but loses points just for the reason mentioned above.
