Overall this book was really well done and kept my interest. There were a few points I felt the story lagged a little but the exciting bits were more than enough to keep me going. I really loved that it was a spy novel but also a contemporary look at racial tensions and racism that occurs every day. I loved the main character who kept getting dealt a poor hand and I loved that we also got glimpses into her past. Yolanda Vance is an overachiever and after graduating Harvard Law she gets picked up by a corporate law office that promptly gets shut down for fraud. With no other options she goes to work for the FBI and being that she is young, African American, and went to college nearby to the mission she gets sent on an undercover mission into a radical black extremist group in California. Yolanda planned on being a white collar attorney with the FBI not a spy and her mission turns out to be more complicated than she could have ever imagined.
