Good book. I liked the teamwork between Slade and Mia, and also among the agency members. There is a lot going on here. The biggest issue is the trust between Slade and Mia. This one is unusual in that everything is still up in the air as the book ends with the hostage situation still ongoing.

This was a fast paced, hard to put down read. I really enjoyed it. All except for the ending being a cliffhanger.Since this is an older book, I hope I can find Colby Agency: Under Siege.

Someone has infiltrated the Colby Agency and has taken the whole team as hostage. The building is on Lockdown and the team sticks together during this time. They try to think of a way to save themselves while they wait for Lucas and Ian to save them as well.
Enjoyed the book and I think that you will too
