Review of Undercover: A Novel

I absolutely loved this book and could not put it down.  Danielle Steel s writing is smooth and just flows and the characters are realistic and believable.  I could feel Ariana's fear and understand her not wanting to believe that she was used by the person she thought loved her and that she loved.  Marshall's anger was also fitting in wanting to retaliate against the drug world and what happened to the person he loved.  It was a great story with intrigue and mystery based on what seemed very authentic for life in the government and fighting evil in all kinds of ways.  It was a fantastic read & story.

A story of the impact secrets can have on your life. A young girl named Kate prides herself at being a good spy. She has favorite hiding places all throughout her family's Inn where she learns and keeps lots of secrets. She keeps secrets for several members of her family in order to protect them. This story will make you think you know what is coming and then will totally surprise you in the end.

This book for me was a slow read. I didn't dislike the book, I just really seemed to have a hard time staying with it. The story is well written and a good read, It was just a very slow start for me. I have to say I read most of the book thinking it was overly predictable and that I had already figure out who the "bad guy" was but Erin surprised me with a twist at the end I didn't see coming! I really enjoyed the main character of Kate. She reminded me of my own daughter. Great-Grandma Pearl was also a character I really enjoyed.

I will say I only had one real problem with this book and that was a cuss word that was used out of context. This only happened one time and did not effect my view of the book as a whole but I felt that it must be included in my review.

An overall decent book with a good storyline and a good ending. It did surprise me at the end and that was a plus. Good writing and some mystery make for a decent read and an overall enjoyable experience.

I was blessed with a copy of this book for review from the Thomas Nelson Fiction Guild. A positive review was not required.

I enjoyed this book very much. It is a good read, action & mystery go well together. It was a bit slow in part, I understand the need to keep a reader in suspense however I felt it should have moved along quicker. All in all it was enjoyable .

I really enjoyed this book - it was an interesting take on cyber crime and how it works.  I was very intrigued and it kept my interest throughout. It was suspenseful, well paced and full of action.  The main character was a cool guy and very appealing,  I am looking forward to the next book.

Hidden is a great novel because of the authors ability to make Tricia Campbell a realistic character. Quinn seems to do this through her use of two story lines. The first is of a wealthy woman who has to escape her abusive husband and the second is the woman in a lifestyle that is common compared to how most American's live. She isn't completely wealthy and, in fact, tends to make her own belongings. She is able to hold a strong, romantic relationship with a paramedic and she has a roof above her head. In "Hidden", Tricia Campbell is the narrator which gives a psychological view of the stories events. This makes the story more intense for the reader. This is enhanced by the imagery that Quinn uses. Even if it is sometimes too intense, Quinn does have the ability to take the reader to the scene of the crime including the accident in which Scott McCall's life changed and the events leading up to Tricia Campbell's freedom from her husband.

The problem with this story is that it went into intense descrptions about the sexual abuse that Tricia Campbell's husband gave her which could have been expressed in a less intense and more efficient manor. The events could have been to another character instead of the reader being taken to the crime.

This book was a very good at getting your attention and drag you into the story.  Zin is an undercover detective assigned to this case to do whatever it takes to get an admission\confession out a very bad man that he is supplying outlawed gambling machine in establishments.

Zin is asked to work with Shibari Master Ray to help go undercover in a world where this criminal hides. She will be asked to be bound for pleasure in front of others as a sign of submission for her master.  This will hopefully help her connect with the people she needs to take down this ring.

What little does Zin know is that Ray is very good at his craft and he will bring out her past in many ways that she has tried to keep hidden for a very long time from everyone.  Will Zin be able to protect her self and save the case? Read on to find out.

I loved this book. Many previous reviewers said it was like a 50 shades of Gray. I say not even close. I think it is in a world all by itself. I think it tells a beautiful and descriptive love story.  I wish you the reader to dig into the book like I did and not want to put it down because there was so many twist and turns.  The author made you want you to fight for the characters.  I could really imagine this story occurring in real life.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to try a new author. I received the book as an ARC from NETGALLEY.

This book is a very gripping and compelling look at undercover law enforcement work. It outs you in the boots of a veteran ATF agent who sacrificed his family life for over 2 years to hang out with one of the most violent motorcycle gangs around.

His close calls of being found out and tests before being fully "patched in" will keep you on the edge of your seat. This shows an inside look at undercover work and how it can play with your emotions and second guess  your true identity. The struggles of interacting with his family and regular society and other police looking like a gangster and trying to keep his true identity hidden from his own gang keeps this story intense emotionally.

I looked forward to reading this book and finishing it each day at lunch but at the end of the book I didn't want the action to end.

I really enjoyed this book.  The government is trying to nail a lawyer who is believed to be involved in securities fraud.  The lawyer is shot but survives while other key individuals are killed.  The lawyer has a friend who is a skilled private investigator.  The investigator unravels all of the intricacies of the scheme and discovers it is ultimately bad guys trying to steal and sell military technology.  I highly recommend this work.  It was a great read.

First time I've read this author and I highly enjoyed reading this book. Chris is undercover working to put away a big time criminal in Miami. He meets Meg, who he convinces to help him out. Meg is desperate to get out of working in the club owned by the criminal. Of course, there was a lot of disgusting people who Meg had to deal with every night she worked. The working relationship between the two was quite profitable, but the personal relationship was fun to watch. They were incredibly attracted to each other, but had to stay professional. It was nice to see their relationship grow and develop. I felt as if it could really work out and they could get their HE A.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

Undercover as a local reporter, Homeland Security Agent Will Masterson is searching for a dangerous terrorist cell, Hayata.  When Will's partner is killed before they can intercept a package needed to help a defecting general, he's left to find it on his own.  Unfortunately, the package comes in the form of General Nazar's teenage daughter.  Escaping Hayata, Fadima Nazar is hiding somewhere in the woods running from the pursuing terrorists.

As a Search and Rescue worker, Dannette Lundeen, finds herself involved with finding a young girl who has been reportedly lost in the woods.  Complicating Dani's search is an annoying reporter, Will, who insists on teaming up with her to look for the girl.  Despite her mistrust of Will, she allows him to help as they race against time to find Fadima.  Although Will feels bad about keeping Dani in the dark about his real reasons for aiding her, as well as his real job, he knows that saving the girls life depends on his silence...

Escape to Morning, the second book in the Team Hope series, was a very enjoyable read.  Susan May Warren once again delivers a romantic suspense novel that keeps you engaged the whole way through.  I'm always excited when I see she has come out with a new book.  I don't think Warren has written a book that I didn't like yet.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. At times it seemed to be a bit drawn out, maybe I just like to see things move a little quicker. The characters were well developed and my heart went out to Abby, the not knowing has to be awful. It definitely kept my interest because I absolutely needed to know what happened to Nick and Lindsey. I do enjoy a good suspense novel and this definitely keeps you turning the page till the very end. I liked the action at the end of the book, did not expect that. All in all a good read if you enjoy a good suspense, this definitely keeps you wondering and trying to figure out the ending. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good suspense.

I loved this book. Sophie is on the run and is determined to start over hiding from her parents and the man who took advantage of her. I enjoyed getting to know her and some of the people in the town. I felt like a fly on the wall it was so realistic. I highly recommend this book.

The behind the scenes of government NSA, CIA and other agencies held  my interest  through out the book. Great Mystery and Romance story. The characters came alive as the storyline got deeper. Great read.

I really enjoyed this novel and am looking forward to the next book. It was a little spicey (sexy!) but that was a nice break from my usual fare in reading. As the wife of an ex-ER nurse, I can attest to the realism in the stories used in the plot. Good book, I'd definitely recommend and read again.

This well written espionage novel gives new meaning to the term deep sleeper undercover agent.  This novel blends two story lines seamlessly combining a search for a lost brother, skin heads, hypnosis, espionage and terrorism.  After reading American espionage thillers I loved the Brittish flair and a story line taking place in England.  Adrian Wills weaves a well written action packed novel with a realistic hero.
