Good thriller. Rebecca and Brian marry. Rebecca works her way into the FBI, Brian raises their kids until he decides to become a coder for the govt. Can a marriage survive when you both have jobs where secrets are necessary? Good read.

The pacing of this book was off to me because it jumped back & forth with multiple character narrators & time periods. You‘d be in the action & then long, often boring flashbacks that didn‘t make either of the main characters all too likable. As the book went on the main characters got more irritating. Kira was the only character whose narration kept the suspense going & a character you felt for. Not sure I‘d be eager to read more by this author.

Cool concept, but a bit boring and too long-winded for me at times.
