This book is the third in Taylor Stevens’ Munroe character series. I’ve been a huge fan of Stevens since I heard about her first book, The Informationist, back in 2011. Her second book, The Innocent, continued to impress me and this third book did not let me down as well.
The character Vanessa Michael Munroe has been described as a female Michael Borne and Stevens continues to demonstrate that likeness in each of her books. In the first book, the reader is intrigued by Munroe’s past. In the second book, the reader learns more about the decisions she had to make in order to survive let alone help others. In this third book, the reader continues to see how past decisions have hurt and helped Munroe in her life. This third book also allows the reader to see how the few people Munroe allowed into her life are impacted when she is in danger.
Stevens continues to put the reader directly in the action as well as within the characters’ minds. At the same time she exposes a real-world problem and situation in a creative way. If you are looking for a good set of books for your beach reads this summer, I recommend picking up these 3 books from Taylor Stevens.
Check out this recent article where Stevens shared instances of real-life women who disguised themselves as men similar to the Munroe character.
