My Review:
Phoebe’s on a mission to make her sister’s killer pay but has she gone too far? Byte Me is a hacker romantic thriller I couldn’t stop reading. The morally grey characters intrigued me. The fast-moving plot had me reading late into the night. The opposites attract romance is just the right amount of heat and humor. Trust me, if you like technothrillers with a side of romance, this book is for you.
Let’s start with the characters. This book is all about the two main characters and the killer who’ll do whatever it takes to avoid capture. I love that Phoebe uses her talent as a hacker to score some vigilante justice. The morality issue comes into play and the reader must decide whether to root for Phoebe or against her. I chose to cheer her on. I also like Jake, the US marshal. He’s a true hero and his conflict is poignantly written. What’s a lawman to do?
I’m a big fan of this author because her writing is deeply emotional yet full of action and suspense. I’m thrown into the story and have to hang on for the ride. I read late into the night because I had to find out what happened next. Trust me, you’ll want to read Byte Me.
My Rating: 5+ stars
