while.
When Payton is sent to Chile for
an assignment, she discovers a devastating truth that challenges everything she
knows about herself and her family. Abandoning the mission, and on the run, she
must unravel the secrets of her past before she loses all sense of herself. Or
worse, before she jeopardizes everyone she cares about.

Payton doesn't enjoy what she does, but she is
very good at it. To be an assassin at the age of 17 and having killed so many
people really bothers her. Her link to normalcy is Conner, who she sneaks out
to see when she can, allowing her to feel better for a while. When she gets
ready to do her 100th mission she gets the surprise of her life and everything
goes haywire. What will happen to Payton? Will she survive her botched mission?
Just who is a friend and who is an enemy that is the question of the day.
I truly enjoyed this debut novel from Ms.
Allan, it was a nicely written story that held my attention from beginning to
end. I did find there were a couple characters that I would have liked more
rounded out, to know more about them. I will recommend this book to all my
friends, it is truly worth reading. It absolutely thrills me to know she is
writing another, to watch her grow will be an awesome experience. I want to
thank Charyse Allan for the chance to read and review her book, I am excitedly
awaiting the next chapter in Payton & Conner's lives. I give this book 4
stars.
Charyse Allan grew up in Arizona dancing and riding horses.
She is an avid reader, but didn’t become one until high school. This is also
when she realized her passion for writing, however it wasn’t until a couple
years into her marriage that she tried her hand at writing a novel.
When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found in
Northern Arizona, tending her garden with her husband and best friend, while
their two kids and two crazy dogs run around the yard. Charyse is also a big
fan of Holy yoga, juicing and being a vegetarian—she misses bacon like nobody’s
business.
Thank you for hosting and for the wonderful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
