This a well_ written book with a lot of suspense and romance. Highly recommend this book.

*e-ARC received via netgalley in exchange for honest review*

So it was the first line of the synopsis which drew me to this book; "She lives a double life, one where she hunts bad guys by night and one where she writes about them.". This idea of a kick-ass woman living a life full of secrets hidden behind this mask of a author really sparked my interest. However, I think I am in the minority in that, I have to admit my expectations of this book weren't met. Before I get into my thoughts too much for those who are thinking of picking this up there are two things to be aware of firstly it's length -it is a novella sized book with hints of sequel -, and secondly it is what I would class as new adult/adult, with explicit sexual scenes.

So this book begins by focusing on the life of Victoria Xylander the author moving from one book signing to another, hopping between hotels. We watch her as she gets to know fellow author and model Shane and as she continues her digital flirting with her crush Axel. For the first half of the book is focused on her relationships which these two guys while also hinting at this secret from her past. While the second part of the book focuses more on Toxyc's secret involving the X's - won't go into that as I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

For me I think there were two areas which let me down. Firstly, Toxyc's character just wasn't as kick-ass as I was expecting, she came across as more paranoid and scared. Running from her problems and distancing herself from everyone. We hardly ever got to see her in her 'hunting the bad guys' lifestyle. Secondly, I wanted to know more about the X's and would have liked ever more to see more scenes with them in, interacting with Toxyc.

Although, I did have some issues with this book I did like the pace at which the reader was give information about Toxyc's lives and also some of the twist near the end of the book, which I didn't see coming. So overall, a mixed opinion of this one.
