Description: 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.

Jessie must face danger from all sides if she’s to complete her mission—and survive. Review: I have always been frustrated with the James Bond and Mission Impossible movie franchises especially with their reductive treatment of women who are either the femme fatale caricuture or an "agent" who is suppose to be capable an...

| The Book Depo_________________________________
An explosive, action packed sequel, designed to please fans of the first installment. Split Second has it all, fast-moving plot, non stop action, dangerous situations, undiscovered abilities and of course lots of romance and relationship drama.
I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive at first because Split Second has an split point of view, from both Addie (who I loved in Pivot Point) and Laila (who was not on my good graces), and I didn't know if the story would pull me as much as before.
But it did, I should have trusted Kasie West because if there is someone who can change my opinion it's her. I rooted for Laila right away and even though she can be a little too hard headed at times, I really liked her as a character and as the perfect match for Addie's controlled demeanor.
And the romance on both sides was scorching. Really, I was already sold on Trevor, I didn't really need any further proof of his complete awesomeness but I am glad West provided more anyway, for my utter pleasure. And then of course there is Connor, who I hadn't had the pleasure of meeting before but I absolutely loved him too. He's sexy and quiet and obsessed with motorcycles, he was just this gentle soul that you can't help but fall for.
I don't know what else I can say about this book to make you read it because I am sure everyone who was hooked on the story from Pivot Point would end up adoring this one too. You won't be disappointed.
