Lesson Learned

Mission Report #1 (Agent Carrie Harris)

De: GJ Stevens

Narrado por: Deborah Balm

New recruit Agent Carrie Harris is deployed on assignment at last, but instead of the cut-and-thrust of a sprawling city, hunting the worst enemies of the state, she is placed as an au pair living with a family in the middle of nowhere, left only with two simple commands ringing in her ears.

Observe. Report.

After surviving the highly secret Special Operations candidate selection process, along with her first assignment (Operation Dawn Wolf), Carrie finds the slow pace of life difficult to adjust to. At first unsettled by the calm, she slowly relaxes into the distractions of suburban living, and friendships blossom in the unlikeliest of places.

As the weeks go by, still not knowing her purpose and with nothing other than the mundane to report, will Carrie keep focused when the tedious veneer cracks to reveal the deplorable reason for her dispatch? Can she be ready to act, ditching the temptation to make her cover story real, or revert to be the honed, ruthless operator again? Will she make the right choices or be sucked into a different life, distracted by a passion which threatens to overwhelm her?

Not what I expected

Wasn't really my cup of tea for the first 27 1/2 chapters so only gave story 4 stars. After that though, it was great. The Carrie I was expecting to hear. Deborah Balm does a wonderful job of being Carrie. Still looking forward to book three.

Formidable Agent

I was entertained by this book as much as the book which described Carrie Harris' induction into the service. I admired Agent Carrie Harris ability to adjust and handle whatever obstacles came her way as she dealt with the adjustments of working as an au pair in the suburbs. I liked this new facet of Carrie's personality. Although there were some difficult events which made me a little uncomfortable, I rooted for Carrie as she faced the final confrontation. I thought Deborah Balm's narration was brilliant and her performance was easy to follow. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
