A Dangerous Year

Seventeen-year-old Riley Collins has grown up in some of the world’s most dangerous cities, learning political strategies from her ambassador dad and defensive skills from his security chief. The only thing they didn’t prepare her for: life as an American teenager.

After an incident forces her to leave her Pakistani home, Riley is recruited by the State Department to attend Harrington Academy, one of the most elite boarding schools in Connecticut. The catch: she must use her tactical skills to covertly keep an eye on Hayden Frasier, the daughter of a tech billionaire whose new code-breaking spyware has the international intelligence community in an uproar.

Disturbing signs begin to appear that Riley’s assignment wasn’t the walk in the park she’d been promised. Now, Riley must fight for her life and Hayden’s, as those around her reveal themselves to be true friends or the ultimate betrayers.  

My Review

The only thing "dangerous" about this book is how good it is. I could not stop reading it. Riley made this book what it is...awesome. Riley is a no nonsense type of gal with brains, sass, and can kick butt. In other words...me. Yet, Riley was not the only one that kept things interesting, The guys Von and Sam are good eye candy. The battle of the brawns had me laughing. There was this scene where Von and Sam were competing for Riley's affection; Riley was having not of it. Instead she was playing them for the fools they were. Besides the laughs, there is action, and a good storyline. Oh and a cliff hanger of an ending that left me silently screaming "Nooooooo". I can't wait to read the next book in this series to see what new trouble Riley finds herself in (she will).
