Honestly? I don't know whether to pity or despise Henry.

I did not - I could not - see this one coming. That moment, when Henry captured Tess with the terrorists - minutes after their movie worthy kiss, may I add - I'm pretty sure my heart stopped beating for a second. Not that it helped, because I couldn't stop thinking about the book. So I ended up picking it right back up.Ĭan we please talk about the big betrayal? I just had to put it down and try to relax before coming back for some more emotional torture. The emotional torture was up in the sky with this book. Sometimes, at a certain point in a book, you just have to put it aside, compose yourself, do something else, organize your thoughts and come back to it refreshed. I'm not a violent person, but that terrorist was Evil with a capital E.Ĩ1% in I just had to put the book aside and take a breath. I was pacing back and forth, on edge, trying to calm myself. And all I wanted to freaking murder that terrorist with my bare hands. The only person I wasn't afraid for was Asher because he wasn't there. And then came the big plot twist, the one we have in every Jennifer bok, delivering the finish blow. I felt like I was right in there with Tess the whole time. I was all the way in with TLG - completely invested in the story and characters. Unlike with The Fixer (the first book), when I basically predicted what was going to happen and wasn't as emotionally invested in the story, this book was full of 'giving me a heart attack' moments. Things went insane quickly, and only escalated from there. Tess is a strong character, but I had no idea how she was ever going to get through this.

there was a point I seriously wondered how she's still standing. This book was way more hardcore regarding action and deaths than The Fixer and The Naturals series.
