The Chemist

Autor Stephenie Meyer
Notă:  4.00 · 2 note - 1 recenzie 
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 iul 2017
In this gripping page-turner, an ex-agent on the run from her former employers must take one more case to clear her name and save her life.

She used to work for the U.S. government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning.

Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon.

When her former handler offers her a way out, she realizes it's her only chance to erase the giant target on her back. But it means taking one last job for her ex-employers. To her horror, the information she acquires only makes her situation more dangerous.

Resolving to meet the threat head-on, she prepares for the toughest fight of her life but finds herself falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival. As she sees her choices being rapidly whittled down, she must apply her unique talents in ways she never dreamed of.

In this tautly plotted novel, Meyer creates a fierce and fascinating new heroine with a very specialized skill set. And she shows once again why she's one of the world's bestselling authors.

Firru . a dat nota:

The book was great for the first third and last third but it was a little wobbly in the middle due to the romance between two of the characters. Chapter 15 (where the romance started) was just not good. I felt like the author forced the romance instead of allowing it to happen naturally and that's never a good thing. Plus the intelligent and badass main character started slipping and losing her head, which was annoying. Contrary to what the author believes, love doesn't make people drool at the mouth and babble nonsense. As much as I loved this book I had to take away a quarter star for that. Luckily it gets better and that chapter was simply a speed bump in an otherwise fantastic book.

Recenzii

"[A] gripping page-turner."
Ali Ehrlich, Good Morning America

"Engrossing.... A terrific ride....The Chemistis consistently fast-paced fun, especially the way that Alex's scientific genius gives her an array of potions-she's small, but you don't want to get within swiping distance of the rings on her fingers-that verge on the magical."—Charles Finch,USA Today
"Fans will likely tear throughThe Chemist, just as they did with theTwilightnovels and withThe Host.... Our heroine is very good at staying alive.... The book hit on an appealing theme. Chris is an expert in her field, one that happens to be male dominated. Her peers are out to get her. She has to watch her back constantly.... With so many popular novels out there featuring unreliable female narrators stuck in various suburbs, it was nice to read about a woman who gets out and has a lot to do."—Meredith Goldstein,Boston Globe
"[Meyer has] an unusual ability to turn genres inside out. The characters in the novel are motivated by love of family rather than by duty to country or abstractions like saving the world. Love gives the adventure meaning, rather than just being a subplot off to the side. Spy fans can be assured that in most respects,The Chemistfunctions in much the same way as a Bourne or Bond story, complete with mounting body count, cool explosions, stakeouts and betrayals. But changing the proportion of gender in the genre gives the concoction a renewed, and welcome, rush."
Noah Berlatsky,Los Angeles Times

"A tale of skulduggery, bodice rippery, and shoot-'em-up action unfolds, complete with help from a luscious mistress of disguise who could have stepped right out of a James Bond novel. Rated B for badass."—Kirkus Reviews
"TheTwilightmogul moves from blood-sucker romance to heart-stopping drama with a thriller about a kick-ass scientist and ex-government agent on the run."—Angela Ledgerwood,Cosmopolitan
"Here, an exciting heroine (see: female Jason Bourne) knows too much, is a threat, and has one last chance to clear her name."—Steph Opitz,Marie Claire
"It's nice to see a heroine whose greatest asset is her brain, one who can fell brawny hitmen with tiny syringes and weaponized jewelry. Meyer is still a skilled pace-setter, andThe Chemist's 518-pages fly by."—Isabella Biedenharn,Entertainment Weekly

"Twilightfans will find another romantic couple to root for, plus the most supernaturally intelligent guard since Rin Tin Tin."
