Hidden in plain sight…
Former Marine sniper and current NSA agent Jack Stone has a new face to go with his new identity. But he still has the same tortured memories—which include the woman he let get away years ago, when they were teenagers. Now his new assignment in Miami will put him so close to the woman he’s never been able to forget, he could reach out and touch her—if only she weren’t under suspicion.
When Sophie Moreno uncovers evidence linking the medical supply company she works for with arms smuggling—and worse—she doesn’t know who to turn to. After a shocking betrayal, she realizes the only person she can trust is a mysterious new person in the company—a man with hauntingly familiar eyes.
As Sophie questions her intense attraction to this man and Jack struggles not to blow his cover, the two of them must race against the clock to stop terrorists from killing scores of people—starting with them.

I've read quite a few books by Katie Reus before and I'm glad to say that I enjoyed them all. Targeted did not disappoint. I enjoyed the story and found myself flying through the book. I finished it in a day, which completely surprised me. I love books that deal with military in any way, shape, or form because it runs deep in my family. Targeted was filled with it and I enjoyed that aspect of the book. There were some pretty awesome action scenes and the pacing was great and it held a pretty good balance, not too fast and not too slow. So overall I definitely enjoyed the book :)

March Wrap Up

Hey eveyone,
March was a big month for me :) I got so much reading done because I had a break from school. I ended up reading more books this month than I have in like, forever! Ever since September, I think, I've not been reading that many books. School has taken up so much time these past few months. But yeah, I'm in my final class so I'm happy! Maybe March was a make up for lost time :)

I read 22 books and DNF 3, so I attempted 25 lol

The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love. 

I hate to say that I had to DNF this book, but I did. I was super excited to read Allegiant when it first released and I got it the day it came out I believe. But as time went on, I kept putting off reading it because of school and sort of lost that excitement for the book. I was also doing my best to avoid reading reviews because I didn't want to be spoiled and I was doing good until on a random blog post or goodreads or something, the spoiler came. I was sort of ticked off about it, but I still wanted to read the book and give it a try.

Sometimes, I dream that I'm someone else.
A girl with dark hair who doesn't worry about hunger
or thirst or running from flesh-eaters.
In her world, those sorts of things don't exist.
Since the spring of 2036, when the world changed forever, Claudia and a small clan of survivors have roamed the streets of a very altered Nashville: polluted and desolate, except for the ever-present threat of cannibal Hoarders. Together they must undergo punishing tests of endurance and psychological challenge sometimes with devastating consequences all just to live another day.
With food and water in dwindling supply, and with danger lurking around every corner, no one can be trusted. And as her world starts to make less and less sense, Claudia begins to realize something terrifying: she is just a pawn in some sort of game, and all of her actions are being controlled from afar by a mysterious gamer. So when she meets a maddening and fascinating outsider named Declan, who claims to be a game moderator, she must decide whether to join him in exchange for protection and access to the border.
If they play the game right, they are each other's best hope for survival and a life beyond the only world Claudia's ever known: the terrifying live-action game known as The Aftermath.

Why I'm Waiting...

I only found out about this recently, but it sounds pretty interesting.
