This book was a mixed bag for me.

The main characters are Blayne and Alexi. Blayne is put into Witness Protection after she witnesses a mob murder and is willing to testify. (The mob doesn't want her to testify - aka want to kill her). That's where Alexi comes in, she's a recently former WITSEC Inspector (with an intense back story relating to the 'former' part of that title), who gets called in on a favor to protect Blayne. It's definitely a good thing she's there as the two of them go on a crazy journey from the US to Canada and beyond. It was a ride.

I do have to say that for most of the book (except for here and there) I mostly didn't like Alexi. Everything she did grated on my nerves. I did mostly like the Blayne character. All the things she was doing and not totally trusting Alexi made perfect sense to me, and then Alexi would poo poo Blayne and I would be come incensed. I think I was supposed to eventually like Alexi by the end, I just never did.

I did also really liked the secondary characters. Wish there had been more Claudia and Vox, they were awesome.

Overall I liked the story, the tension of the non-romantic chase was very nice, I just couldn't totally get on board with the romance party of the story.… (mehr)
