Review: Reeled Me Right in!
Rating: 4 out of 5

I read this book in two days total. I started on it and got a couple of chapters in and then life got in the way and I had to put it down. Normally, I am a fantasy/paranormal kind of gal, but somehow, Sean managed to hook and reel me in with this one!The story line was unusual and that caught my attention right from the beginning. The action all starts when several (at least 40) people are killed by drinking contaminated water from a bottled-water company at a concert. The action never ended after that.Special agent "Snapshot", who is also a photo model and legally blind, is called in to investigate the case. I really liked Jaclyn Johnson for several reasons. First, she is a kick-arse-and-take-names-later kind of woman and I love strong female characters. Second, it is cool that a female plays a character in the book that would normally be played by a male; a special agent for the CIA. Third, Jaclyn is strong, but she also has a caring side and she shows it several times in the story. I'm glad that Sean created her this way because otherwise, she would have seemed very fake in my opinion. I mean, I have read stories where a strong female character never shows a softer side and it left me thinking, "What? A woman can't be both strong and caring, but a man can?!" I also love the fact that in Sean's story, the president of the United States is a WOMAN! About damn time! LOL! However, I must say that what happens to the president later on left a bad taste in my mouth, but (and here's a spoiler!) what a way to go!I gave this story 4 stars and for me to give a action/thriller story 4 stars is unheard of, mostly because I just don't like the genre. But I did like Sean's book. He also has a second one featuring "Snapshot" called Rogue Agent and I bet it will be as good as the first!
