Annihilate Me has a gripping, suspenseful story and vivid characters. WARNING: Christina Ross really knows how to keep readers on the edge of their seats with drama and cliff-hangers, wondering what will happen next. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down...Characters:I love the female lead, Jennifer Kent. Although Jennifer hasn't had it easy in life, she keeps getting up and going on, determined to make it in NYC. Then Alex offers her an executive level salary in exchange for an unusual arrangement, that Jennifer poses as his girlfriend.Even though Alex is a powerful billionaire used to getting his way, and the chemistry between them is intense from the moment they meet, Jennifer stands up to him. I liked that the female and male leads are more balanced, instead of the man mostly domineering and the woman whiny, messed up, or a pushover like in other billionaire romances. Jennifer has a scathing sense of humor and doesn't take disrespect from anyone, including Alex. She has the guts and brains to deal with the wealthy and powerful while holding her own.Another aspect of the book that I enjoyed is how Jennifer's sense of humor comes out in her dialogue with some of the more minor characters. Ross brings characters to life with a few snappy sentences of dialogue. I laughed out loud more than a few times reading this book. Can't wait for the next in the series!
