They were born in the shadows. Schooled in espionage. Taught to kill and trained to disappear. In this captivating masterwork from bestselling author Taylor Stevens, elusive twins Jack and Jill take the global spy game to electric levels. The assassin broker is dead. The power void has left the network he controlled without restraints, and the world's deadliest killers free to pursue their own vendettas and political agendas. The United States government, unwilling to risk upheaval and global chaos, has mobilized killers of its own to preemptively hunt down and destroy each potential threat. Among the most dangerous on that list are Jack and Jill. Often estranged--always connected by a legacy they can't escape--the siblings have eluded many who want them dead. As they board a flight to Berlin hoping to meet the father they've never known, they suspect a trap. What they can't predict is how far a high-level Russian operation will go to secure their skills, or how hard the U.S. operatives sent to stop them will fight to assassinate them first. For the twins, resistance and cooperation both mean death. Caught between two superpowers with unlimited resources and unable to trust each other, brother and sister will match wit against skill in a life-threatening chase across Europe, back to the United States, and into an unholy alliance that could change the balance of global power forever. Filled with pulse-pounding tension, blistering action, and intense human drama, Liars' Legacy is world-class intrigue at its best. -- Dust jacket. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Jack & Jill Thriller #2
Though I ended up loving this book it took almost halfway into the story to finally figure out what was going on even though I had read the first book and the book description. When I finally “got it” I could not put the book down and read through the night.
What I liked:
* Jack, Jill and Holden: Intriguing intelligent and lethal people that I want to know more about.
* Jack is a bit of an enigma and yet I do like him...he seems more of a pacifist than his sister Jill but boy can he be lethal when necessary!
* Jill is a bit more emotional, or seems so, with issues from childhood that have left a different kind of mark than those left on her brother.
* Holden is a man I would love to get to know better. I wonder if and definitely hope that he and Jill will find a way to an eventual romantic relationship.
* Kara was a mystery for much of the book. As I got to know her I really liked her and do hope that she will show up in book three.
* The fact that though assassins the characters are “real” and not without soul/heart
* The story – once I “got it”
* The sleuthing that took place when my brain decided to see why the twins were named Jack and Jill and how they might tie into the children’s nursery rhyme of the same name.
What I did not like:
* The political types who put their agenda before the people they were in charge of
* The fact that life has little value to others – at least at times
* Having to say goodbye without knowing about Dmitry, wondering what will happen next and having to wait for book three to find out.
Did I like this book? Yes
