Jessie Archer is a member of the Athena Protocol, an elite organization of female spies who enact vigilante justice around the world.
Athena operatives are never supposed to shoot to kill—so when Jessie can't stop herself from pulling the trigger, she gets kicked out of the organization, right before a huge mission to take down a human trafficker in Belgrade.
Jessie needs to right her wrong and prove herself, so she starts her own investigation into the trafficking. But going rogue means she has no one to watch her back as she delves into the horrors she uncovers. Meanwhile, her former teammates have been ordered to bring her down. Jessie must face danger from all sides if she's to complete her mission—and survive.
My Review:
Oh, I really enjoyed this book! I loved her spy antics and her investigation into the bad guys! It all came together so well, and was so great to read! There's some explosive times, and some dealings with the dark side of things. So great to read!
Jessie did kill the one dude on a mission, which is why she was kicked out of the group. I can understand why she did it, he was taunting her and what he was saying was scary, but I would like to think that he was wrong. And that it would've been worse for him to go to prison than to be killed now, but now he couldn't because he's dead. Yeah. Plus there's the whole thing where they're vigilantes, basically, and going too far kinda broke their cover and all!
This book dealt with a few things, from her relationship with her mom (strained to say the least, since her mom was one of the ones to decide to kick her out of Athena as well as other reasons), to dealing with the powerful who were so because they were criminals. It was dark and enticing to read!
Wow, I really enjoyed that ending! Jessie was pretty bad ass and snarky. Maybe aggravating the bad guys isn't always a good idea, but it worked out in the end! A little sad that it turned out that way, but there's exciting possibilities in the future!
This book was really fantastic, and I enjoyed it so much!
