New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep serves up an urban fantasy adventure filled with secrets, lies, and super spies with amazing magical abilities. Perfect for fans of Alias, James Bond, Jason Bourne, Nikita, True Lies, and Netflix’s Bodyguard.
A SPY . . .
My name is Charlotte Locke, and I’m an analyst for Section 47, a secret government agency that tracks terrorists, criminals, and other paramortal bad guys who want to unleash their abilities on an unsuspecting mortal world. I have a magical form of synesthesia that senses danger and uncovers lies—making me a stealthy operative.
I’m trudging through another day when one of Section’s cleaners—assassins—takes an interest in me. I don’t need my synesthesia to realize that he is extremely dangerous and that he will do anything to achieve his goals—even if it means putting me in the line of fire.
. . . AND AN ASSASSIN
I’m Desmond Percy, one of Section 47’s most lethal cleaners. I’m also a man on a mission, and I need Charlotte Locke’s skills to help me keep a promise, settle a score, and kill some extremely bad people.
Charlotte might not like me, but we’re stuck together until my mission is over. Still, the more time we spend together, the more I’m drawn to her. But at Section 47, you never know who you can trust—or who might want you dead.
Why did I add A Sense of Danger to my bookshelf?
I have enjoyed Jennifer Estep’s books, so I decided to grab this one when I saw it on sale. This is one that I will definitely be reading – it’s just a matter of time. Too many books and not enough time seems to be an ongoing problem.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
I never did read this series of Jennifer’s. I tried her Urban Fantasy series way back when it started but couldn’t get into it. I read some of her YA series (still have the first one on my TBR!) and her fantasy series and enjoyed them. So I guess it’s just hit or miss for me. Since this feels largely contemporary but actiony, I just never bothered to pick it up. Hope you enjoy it once you get to read it!
I haven’t read this, but I’ve liked what all I’ve read from the author before.
I’m sure I would enjoy this one too.
I’ve only read one of her books and I did like it but haven’t read more. So I havent’ read this one.
