Going undercover and trying to expose wrongdoings is not always as rewarding as 27yo Elle hoped it would be, especially when the most recent secret kills her sister and sends Elle herself running for her life. Not knowing what else to do, Elle chooses to trust people who call themselves guardians to keep her safe. But as they gather more intel to find the antagonist, safety starts to seem like an impossible goal.

I am a long-time fan of Abramson, and this newest book is just as good as the others I’ve read. While some of the details might go over my head or be skimmed over, I’m impressed by Abramson’s attention to the little things in plans for both the antagonists and the protagonists, including the expected action scenes as well as the boring research that, realistically, has to be done. Of course, through the suspense of why Elle is on the run, Abramson also threads a romance that neatly ties up the end, giving readers the closure they need to finally breathe again. The violence rating is for gun use and murder.
