In tried and true form for this author she gives us a face paced story with interesting characters and a splash of the paranormal. Also, as in most of her stories, we are left with an ending that isn't quite as solid of an ending as one would hope, not exactly a cliffhanger but not a true ending either. This is the first book of a series titled Athena Force which was to include stories by a number of different authors. Oddly, for a first book it does seem to land you in the middle of a larger story arc with references to characters and past events that seemingly had stories of their own. However, this is more interesting than annoying and for the most part the story stands well by itself. I felt the characters were well fleshed out and I liked them both. The only downfall I could really pinpoint being the non-ending as I do not believe anything more is planned for these particular characters in the series (although I guess I could be wrong about this).

Ultimately I did enjoy this story and would certainly recommend it to those who enjoy action, suspense and a little romance; I felt it akin to the Bourne Identity movie (not the book which was completely different). ( )

This was goo. I want to read the sequal and i feel like i should have read the other books in the series. the author did a great job of bringing the reader up to speed on the issues of the characters. ( )

Although the characters lack the depth of Rachel Caine's Weather Warden cast this romance has loads of potential (assuming it spins in to a series). Some nice tension and good action I found it an entertaining and very fast read. ( )
