Publisher's summary

In an action-packed and thrilling new standalone novel from the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author, a former government agent is drawn back into the world of covert ops for a very unconventional mission …

For Melanie Drake, school guidance counselor in a small Virginia town, the day’s challenges typically involve a playground scuffle or a student skipping school. It’s worlds away from her previous career as a vital part of the Office of Special Investigations. There, she devoted herself heart and soul to covert operations, the riskier the better.

Since leaving the government, Melanie has cherished her peaceful, calm existence, with her two beloved retired service dogs for company. Then a call comes from her former supervisor, Rich Patterson. He needs her back for a highly specialized assignment. An international group of billionaires is known to meet regularly for decadent dinners, and they always hire high-class escorts for the occasion. Only the most elegant, well-educated, and sophisticated women will do.

Infiltrating those meetings could yield information vital to national security. Melanie’s loyalty is indisputable. She’s willing to pose as an escort and glean every scrap of intel that she can. But these men aren’t just wealthy and powerful, they’re also exceptionally ruthless. One slip, and they won’t hesitate to eliminate Melanie, by any means necessary …

Right wing propaganda in disguise

All good until she decided to use the gender and furry identities propaganda as her story line.

Woke

This is a fairly woke book. The reader has to assume that children at 7 to 10 years old can make decisions and have the awareness of people in the late teens to early 20’s. If you like or enjoy that type of culture it may be a good read. Good narration overall, plot was a little weak. Can’t say I enjoyed it that much but I did finish it.

Character development was excellent and had my attention

I enjoyed the detailed and nuanced character development. It set the story firmly for each adventure in the main character’s life. I had a hard time putting the book down because I couldn’t wait to see how it unfolded. This was a real page turner!

Nothing to see here

This book was decent, but it is about a girl from 8 years old to 30 ish. Thus is a book that you can miss 6 chapters and still becaught up.
