Imagine being a trained assassin as a teenager. You get missions from your "parents." You complete your mission and move on to the next target. Normally, you don't feel any attachment or emotion. That's what you aretrained for. Then, suddenly, your next target is the mayor or New York, and your way in is his daughter, someone you instantly fall for. Will you be able to put feelings aside and finish the mission?
What an action-packed story. I was quickly drawn into this one. It was a quick read because I had a hard time putting it down. Yes, I am sure this isn't realistic. As an adult, that didn't bother me at all. I just enjoyed a fast-paced, adventure-filled story. It left me guessing the whole time, and the ending was a surprise. It was emotional, unpredictable, and well thought out. I would recommend this to any teen that likes adventure, and can see it as a great series for reluctant readers.
