About The Book
It’s never what it seems.
A murder of a high-profile law partner on a Manhattan street should have made the front page of the news. And yet it didn’t. Drew Bradley’s murder was treated as just another senseless crime and relegated to page four of the evening edition. But what if the press had been privy to the fact that the murder was actually an assassination?
As the partners at Lannister and Stewart scramble to fill the vacuum left by Drew Bradley’s sudden death, Asia Blythe, a rising star in the firm is offered his coveted position. But this golden opportunity that brings with it power, prestige, and unlimited financial rewards demands adherence to a code. A code of allegiance to the firm with no exceptions. Catapulted into the world of genetically modified designer babies and state-sponsored espionage, is Asia prepared to deal with the intrigues of a world that will threaten her life and shatter her illusions?
My Review
This was a fast paced thriller and I really enjoyed it. It is actually the second in the A Conspiracy of Betrayal series but works incredibly well as a stand alone book. I hadn’t read the first book but I definitely didn’t need to enjoy this book.
Asia is a wonderful character, torn between personal progress and doing what she feels is right. I found myself willing her to do the right thing especially when innocent people started getting hurt. This was a gripping read and I’d love to see more from Asia Blythe as a character, especially if she brings Sam along for the ride too. Their relationship was great – not too in your face but just enough to see how much they both cared for the other.
I will certainly be checking out more books from the author.
