This book is an interesting read, especially in the beginning of the chapters. We see a young lady,
Kathryn, who seems to be a brilliant curious kid, very fond of her father.
Loosing a mother at an early age moulded her into becoming a strong young girl.
She had a small cycle of immediate family.

First few days fresh out of college, she met a gentleman called Raphael,who introduced her to a job opportunity she could not resist. I was impressed by good choice of words, well put across the book.

There is an adventure and a bit of romance in this novel , also a fantasy that captures one's attention for more. So fulfilling to see Kathryn, the young girl who took her chances & joined the investigative team immidiately after her tertiary , settling in & jelling so well amongst them.

The book has an element of a thriller and sci- fi , i got lost right after the family introduction. I was more keen to know more about Kathlyn's father and her aunt who she never knew before but met on her birthday for the first time.

The dialogues between characters were so interesting as they gave a lot of thrill and suspense. Moreover, the book is a good read but if you ask me what genre it was, I would be as perplexed as you, as it encompasses of many genres of which it might be confusing to the next person, but for me, I guess is shows the brilliance of the author to have delivered such propelling stories with such ease.

Another interesting part of this book is a mystery, Kathryn family structure and stories are far fetched & makes one to need more. And the author played us well on that part. Furthermore, there was a thrilling part about Kathlyn's father, finally revealed about his whereabouts, he was a senior agent of HGS, the company Kathryn works for and he died when she turned 5.
Moreover, a lot of drama and adventure propelled me to read further, the mystery displayed how brilliant the author was.

There was a mispell of a word : your , was written yuo. Also a tense inappropriately used in page 99, first paragraph: he "were" instead of of "he was". I would rate this book 5 out of 5, highly recommend as one of the best books.
