This book is very entertaining. It has smart-alecky CIA agent Zoey and her straitlaced handler, Peyton. Zoey's previous handler, her adoptive father, has recently retired and she is having trouble working with new people. There is the back story of the US government planning to release a deadly virus in order to profit from the sale of the vaccine. Zoey is then forced to go rogue in order to help save the world. At first, this gave me pause about picking up the book. Do I really want to read about a deadly virus in the middle of a pandemic? But reading the book, I find myself wishing that there's more of the secret agent thing through the book. The mission became more of an incidental thing. We are told about it being dealt with without the details given. But, I do understand that this mainly focuses on the two main characters and how their relationship develops. The book would have to be double the length it is if the author also goes into the day by day of Zoey going about the mission. Saying that, overall this is a fun, enjoyable read.
