My Review

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.  This is book 2 of the Assured Destruction series.  In this sequel, we see that Janus is beginning her community service hours with the high tech crime unit.  At first, they had her helping them with a bank security issue, but her mischievous ways of being “covert” quickly got her into trouble.  Then the laptop of a murderer arrives on her desk, her job, this is more her speed.  When she profiles and exposes who the laptop belongs to, you would not believe!

This book was as awesome as the first.  Janus was so busy; I spent quite a bit of time wondering if her head was spinning.  Her mom was getting sicker, so she spent many hours covering for her mom at Assured Destruction.  Peter had been spending every waking moment with her mom, and she knew they were hiding something from her.  Janus’ friend Heather has a stalker, when Janus agrees to help she gets way more than she’s bargained for.  How will she juggle work, school, her home life, Heather’s stalker, and Jonny?  Who is Peter really?

This was another fast pace thrill ride that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.  I can’t wait for book 3 to see what happens next.  I enjoyed the fact that Janus went deeper into the hacker world and although Peter helped her get there, she still doesn't trust him.  This was a fantastic read, one I’m sure everyone will love!
