I love the way Danielle L Jensen submerges you into these heist/battle scenes in exciting.
I also appreciate that she cares about the plot and how regardless of what’s going on with the MCs you can feel the political toll of what’s currently going on in these countries.

Lara and Aren’s love for each other is so strong and yet complicated. It adds an extra layer to the suspense that Jensen builds. 

Biggest downfall of this book for me was how much I had to suspend my disbelief towards the end. The ending felt a bit rushed and some loose ends felt carelessly tied.
i.e. the sharks not eating Lara or all the physical things she did whilst 70% of her blood gushed out of her…

Yet the only thing I would have changed from this story is to
ended it as a tragedy. I think Lara should have died and the decision to keep her alive almost soured the ending even more.
