Who Is Olivia Green? by David Heaton is a C/T/M/H book of 204 pages. The story plot revolves around Olivia Green and her spy missions.
Olivia Green is a lover. With her sexy body and her seduction skills, she is able to get any man to fall in love with her. Olivia Green is a lawyer. She is a young graduate in a law firm with global reach. Olivia Green is a spy. She is one of the best assets in a top-secret organization that was formed after 9/11. Olivia Green is a fighter. Having been professionally trained and a CrossFit enthusiast, she sure can put up a fight.
After successfully completing her first assignment, Olivia is assigned to another mission – an assassination. This action-packed book follows Olivia as she meticulously plans out every single step of the assassination, making sure that nothing goes wrong - without forgetting to get her sexy on in the process.
Who Is Olivia Green? is an absolute thriller. It was action-packed and every action scene was well described. The action scenes kept me at the edge of my seat. The author set the mood of the scene perfectly and I felt as if I was right at the scene, watching Olivia perform every move. I was always worried about whether Olivia would succeed with her mission. Besides that, it cut to the action almost immediately. The start threw the reader straight into the story and the book was not slow at all.
However, there were numerous problems with the book. Firstly, there was just too much romance in the book. Since it was classified under C/T/M/H, the main focus of the story should be on Olivia’s spy missions – but there were so many romances forced into the story plot. I felt that too much space was taken up by descriptions of Olivia’s sexual pleasures. All the characters just seemed too hungry for sexual intercourse. On top of that, Olivia is a really cliché character. She is extremely attractive to men and is exceedingly smart for her age. She was just too perfect and this made her really unrealistic.
Finally, the book had an extremely unsatisfactory ending. The ending was quite confusing and I did not understand what was going on. It made the book seem unfinished to me. I’m not quite sure whether there is going to be a sequel to this book. Even if the ending was supposed to make the reader want more, I felt that it just created an abrupt ending to the book and this really threw me off.
I would rate Who Is Olivia Green? 1 out of 4 stars. Even though it had many amazing action scenes, the main character, Olivia, is too cliché, sexual intercourse took place too many times and the ending was too abrupt. It certainly had the potential to be a good book, but it’s a shame that I was unable to find the book enjoyable. Because of many inappropriate scenes in the book, I would not recommend it for young readers.
