The Chemistis the newest book by teen vampire author Stephenie Meyer. It was billed as a Jason Bourne type thriller (although in one review it was listed as a budding romance... uh... no). I listened to it on audiobook, and despite it being 17 HOURS LONG, I still plowed through it in just a few weeks team. It was fast paced and entertaining. Some of the "twists" were pretty transparent. But overall a good read!
My rating: 3.5 stars
Summary from goodreads:
In this gripping
page-turner, an ex-agent on the run from her former employers must take
one more case to clear her name and save her life.
She used
to work for the U.S. government, but very few people ever knew that. An
expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so
clandestine it doesn’t even have a name. And when they decided she was a
liability, they came for her without warning.
Now, she rarely
stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They’ve killed
the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a
threat. They want her dead, and soon.
When her former handler
offers her a way out, she realizes it’s her only chance to erase the
giant target on her back. But it means taking one last job for her
ex-employers. To her horror, the information she acquires only makes her
situation more dangerous.
Resolving to meet the threat head-on,
she prepares for the toughest fight of her life but finds herself
falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival. As
she sees her choices being rapidly whittled down, she must apply her
unique talents in ways she never dreamed of.
In this tautly
plotted novel, Stephenie Meyer creates a fierce and fascinating new
heroine with a very specialized skill set. And she shows once again why
she’s one of the world’s bestselling authors.
