Hidden Agenda
Lisa Harris
Revell


Michael Hunt is alive--and on the run. Presumed dead by friends and family, the undercover assignment he's been working for the past eight months has just been blown. With a hit out on his life and corruption inside the Atlanta police department, Michael finds himself hunted by both the cartel and the law. His only hope is the daughter of the man who wants him dead.


This nonstop chase from taut suspense writer Lisa Harris will leave readers breathless as they race to connect the dots before it's too late.


I'm not usually a reader of suspense- while I will pick on up on occasion, I often find it too frustrating for me to truly enjoy, However, I was pleasantly surprised when I read the previous book in the series, so I when I saw this one available for review, I snapped it up.

This book was pretty strong in plot- though I didn't like the set-up quite as well as that of the other book, Fatal Exchange. However, in one area this book was superior- I felt like the character development here was better. That being said, I still felt like the characters were still a little lacking. Also, the dialogue was a little typical, in a way that bordered on cliche. Still, the ideas were good, and since I'm not an expert in the suspense genre, I won't be too hard on it. I did enjoy this book, after all, if only because it was a change of pace from my normal reading fare.

Rating: 7

I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Before Midnight

this is the cover of the book I had, but I thought this cover was really pretty! Before Midnight Cameron Dokey Simon and Shuster I’ve heard of this series for a long time now, but I hadn’t gotten a chance to read any of the books until just recently. I really did enjoy this retelling of Cinderella, although there were things about it I didn’t care for. However, it was one of those books whose flaws you don’t notice until you’re done reading and sit back and reflect on the story. One thing I did like about this book was the way it was written, and that it really drew me right in. The twists on the story of Cinderella were interesting, and a few were unexpected. Another thing I liked was that the main character was called Cendrillon , the original French version of the name Cinderella , and that her nickname was Rilla. However, the romance wasn’t really as great; it felt like almost an afterthought. The Prince was barely in it, and their relationship wasn’t given ...
