Long Kiss Goodnight

This is an awesome book! The action sequences are written really well and the characters are more fleshed-out than in your usual action book/movie tie-in. I read the novelization before I saw the movie and was expecting to see this great story come alive on the screen. Unfortunately, I should have stuck to the book. I really recommend The Long Kiss Goodnight as a great book with a kick-butt heroine, funny one-liners, and super action and excitement.

Samantha Caine woke up on a beach with amnesia eight years ago. She doesn't remember that she was once the most lethal assassin for the United States government. But Pentecost, a terrorist leader, remembers her well and he's sending his people after her. Samantha has to quickly remember her lethal assignation skills to bat off the intruders that come for her. One exciting scene that I liked was when her and her partner had to jump from a two story building to get away from a grenade. It was about to explode a few feet away from them. They were heading right for a frozen lake. On the way down they had to whip out their guns and shoot the ice so they'd be able to break through. This broke their fall so they wouldn't break their lags after hitting the ice. This is a FANTASTIC book! I couldn't put it down. It has non-stop action all the way to the end. I highly recommend that you read this book. This review is written by Dustin Henwood
