Publisher's Summary

Bourne Identity meets Karen McManus in this action-packed series opener about a spy gone rogue, perfect for fans of Ally Carter and Killing Eve.

Jessie Archer is a member of the Athena Protocol, an elite organization of female spies who enact vigilante justice around the world.

Athena operatives are never supposed to shoot to kill - so when Jessie can’t stop herself from pulling the trigger, she gets kicked out of the organization, right before a huge mission to take down a human trafficker in Belgrade.

Jessie needs to right her wrong and prove herself, so she starts her own investigation into the trafficking. But going rogue means she has no one to watch her back as she delves into the horrors she uncovers. Meanwhile, her former teammates have been ordered to bring her down. Jessie must face danger from all sides if she’s to complete her mission - and survive.

Don’t miss this gripping pause-resister that New York Times best-selling author Patrick Ness called "a ferocious, take-no-prisoners thriller that actually thrills!"

Would recommend to a friend

Super cool sapphic secret agent looking for vengeance and justice? Hell yeah. Admittedly, I wish it had been more kill bill than killing eve, but I do enjoy a moral upper hand all the same.

But wtf is with this “organization” kicking out a member who was obviously going through some major psychological stuff and not even offering access to therapy???

Good story on the seat action thriller

Flows well. Fast moving action thriller. Human rights battles taken to the max. Not a romance novel.
