One day, she receives a phone call from and unknown phone number. If she doesn’t approve Falcon, the CIA latest source candidate, she will never see her son again.
Four years later, journalist Alex Charles is investigating a tip that the CIA’s most important source may not be all it seems. This investigation leads her to Jill and plot that could start a war.

My Thoughts
Because she is a former CIA analyst, Cleveland presents a grounded and realistic story that was breathtaking.
Cleveland excels at spy thrillers with family drama mixed in, and this book is no exception. Jill’s devotion to her family is something that I think many people relate to, but added loyalties to her country bring about a engaging story.
The duo of Alex and Jill was perfectly on point. Their characters worked together so well despite differing personalities and views.
I also loved the pacing of the book. Because it is a thriller, I expected the pace to fairly quick, but it wasn’t so quick as to rush the story.

Overall, this book is fantastic and I would definitely read it again. This may be one of my favorite books so far this year.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
