I absolutely love action movies; they are my favorite genre of films to watch and yet I've never read an action BOOK.  Shocking, right?  Well this was a fabulous one to start with!  I read the quick blurb and had the O_o  face about someone being a nanny by day and then assassin by night, figuring that it might be a bit cornball.  NOPE!  Glad to say that this book was made of win.Holly is this kickass girl who does missions for the government to wipe out terrorists around the world because most don't think of a petite asian girl as being capable of taking them out (clearly they haven't watched an action movie before!  Kill Bill could have taught them never to underestimate someone based on package).  She's also the nanny for her government boss, protecting his kids during the day and running her missions at other times.She believes her lover has been killed, her father was wiped out, her former best friend was raped and then killed herself, her new buddy was murdered in a mission, so needless to say, she is pissed and out to right some wrongs.  Only, not everything is as it seems and not all ghosts are dead and gone ;)I love how the action was written out in a way that made you really see it.  I had my hesitations on reading an action book because nothing compares to seeing the explosives, kicks, kills and things on screen or so I thought, but this was detailed enough and fast paced enough that it sucked me in and I felt like I WAS watching it.  I am most certainly about to buy up all of Robert's books if they are this cool.  5 stars!
