Deep cover is as title suggests agent O'Conner goes under cover in a assignment she isnt very well prepared for. She has her personal life and her demons to deal with too.
This is book 4 which i never realised i did however go and read book 0ne first but it would be better to read in order. A good book. Thank you for advanced copy.

There are several places in this book where I had to pause and take a breath. Agent O’Connor (and the author!) puts us through the wringer… in a role she isn’t really trained for, and doing things she’s uncomfortable doing, means Ryan is in trouble and is struggling to remember what’s right and wrong. The tension ramps up beautifully and we’re never sure whether Ryan’s undercover role will see her end as a hero or a seriously injured, compromised agent (or worse).

Ms McLeod knows what she writes about and it shows. Very complex plotting is masterfully handled and you feel Ryan’s pain ~ physical and emotional.

If you’re new to the series, start with book one. If you don’t want to (what’s wrong with you?) then at least read book three as it does feed into this one. But it’s well written and you’ll follow even if you’ve never read Ms McLeod before… but do yourself a favour and read the whole series.

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley

A secret service agent in deep cover und deep waters
What would it look like if a (former) secret service agent wrote a story featuring a secret service agent? Oh wait a second, that‘s what the Agent O‘Connor series is about: real, gritty, no punches pulled - literally. All trigger warnings apply.
Ryan O‘Connor, always the maverick, somehow ends up in deep cover and as her maybe-girlfriend ever so unhelpful points out is neither trained nor suited for it. But here she is! Trying to find out about a domestic terrorist plot. We get a good glimpse into undercover work: the mundane, the ever-present fear of discovery, the watching and waiting, the nasty parts. Not much glory until there is and it turns out to be tainted.
Life is at the same time throwing Ryan and Allison a curveball - there never is the easy road for Ryan and their relationship.
If you have been waiting for #4 in this series, you might want to refresh you memory and reread at least the last book. If you‘re new to this series start with #1 you won‘t be disappointed - it‘s a wild ride.

I received an ARC via netgalley. The review is left voluntarily.
