I tried for weeks to get through this book but never managed. I have finally given up. Emily is not the slightest bit interesting as a character. Her most common sentiment is that she is responsible for everything bad that has happened and that she must atone for her sins by surrendering to the authorities and going to prison. This kind of notion might be acceptable once in a story when the character is down, but not every time the character is onstage. Why her friends still go to bat for her is a mystery.

Review of advance reader copy

Hacker Emily Hernandez, working for the NSA, struggles in her efforts to dismantle The Collective, a group of cybercriminals. Emily is determined to put an end to the group and their worldwide hacking. Can she take down APRIL, an Artificial Intelligence she created as a member of The Collective, without hurting her friends?

But, as she sits with her mother, a car crashes into the house. An accident? A deliberate act? An attempt to kill Audrey? Or could the target have been Emily herself?

Can Emily bring down the Collective? Can she keep her friends safe while dismantling the hackers’ group? And why has she become a target?

=========

Told from Emily’s point of view, this thriller grabs the reader from the outset; the pace is relentless, the suspense deepening. Neither Emily nor the reader knows which people can be trusted and which ones have ulterior motives for their actions. The twisty plot leaves the reader guessing and, like Emily, wondering if her choices are the right ones.

Non-stop action, believable characters, and difficult choices keep readers on the edge of their seats as the unfolding story forces Emily to deal with the consequences of her actions while trying to keep her cousin, Kaylin, and her ex-boyfriend, Seymour, protected.

Readers who enjoy techno-thrillers will find much to appreciate in this unputdownable tale of espionage, intrigue, and secrets. As Emily and the reader discover that many of the people around her are not at all who she believed them to be, everyone will be guessing how the story will end.

Highly recommended.
