Sean Sweeney

I realised my Kindle was accommodating four books by this author, so I thought it was high time I read one of them. I started with the first of the Jaclyn Johnson thrillers. Our model agent (modelling is just something she does when she’s not saving the world) has, as her first assignment, to stop a ruthless and unscrupulous man using outrageous methods to annihilate his competitors in the bottled-water industry. A man who’s almost tyrannical, despotic even, and has to be caught at all costs…some of which turn out to be very high and very tragic.

I’ve got to say you have to suspend disbelief with this book. It’s a little OTT…a female Bond, Jaclyn isn’t. But she’s a no-nonsense, sassy, don’t-mess-with-me chick…and I love female crimefighters like that. And with her tools of the trade: Do-It-All Porsche, glasses, skintight Lycra suit…it’s all a bit daft. The ending doesn’t just require suspending disbelief, it needs gagging and locking up somewhere it can’t whisper, ‘Seriously?’ somewhat repeatedly.

And that…is why I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed it! Okay, it’s not the best writing I’ve come across (apostrophes, Mr S, apostrophes), but it was all delightfully silly and massively entertaining from start to finish. I loved it. Rogue Agent is the second in the series, and it's ready and waiting on my Kindle.… (lisätietoja)

MODEL AGENT BY SEAN SWEENEY

This refreshing perspective on the feminine hero was an exhilarating ride with a volatile mix of action and thrills. Agent Jaclyn Johnson is a stunning heroine who doesn't let her disabilities impede her activities as a CIA agent. She was born partially blind but can see shadows. At the age of 14, after her parents deaths in 9-11, the government took her under their wing and trained her to become a CIA agent and outfitted her with special Foster Grant glasses equipped with Heads Up Display (HUD) that enhances rather than hampers her duties as an agent.
I was quickly caught up in the intrigue of the storyline and impressed with the super spy gadgetry, which includes a loaded Porsche and specially outfitted I-Pad. I want those. The plot line was exceptional with lots of excitement from the start. Grant Chillings, the terrorist of the story made me worry about our country's safety if our bottled and natural water supply was tampered with. It made me think twice about drinking bottled water.

I'm highly anticipating reading the next installment of this explosive series.

I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy hold-onto-to-your-seat adventures with a lot of action and thrills. It also speaks to those who have a special place in their heart for kick ass heroine who overcome impossible odds to save the day.

5 stars given for the electrifying ride into Agent Jaclyn Johnson's world.

The first thing I will say is try a preview of this book (if it is not still free) and see if you like the writing. I absolutely did not, and I knew it in a few pages.I was really looking forward to reading this book. I found this while reading a different book, and it was killing me to wait to read it.What a huge disappointment. I made it through 9% of my book. It was incredibly wordy and cliched.In that time I learned who was behind the terrorism. Please - suspenseful.This book was incredibly hard to read, the writing is horrible, it might be a 7th -8th grade level, and everything felt like a caricature.(it felt like a kid wrote it then went through with a thesaurus and changed words) Agent Snapshot, please - everyone else was called by a name, but they referred to Jaclyn as Agent Snapshot, and I am supposed to take her seriously?Maybe the book got better, but I had better things to do with my time than wait for it.If you are looking for an awesome kick butt heroine may I suggest the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. I also like the Secret McQueen by Sierra Dean. Under Wraps by Hannah Jayne. Iris Johansen the Ugly Duckling book was great.I really really wanted to find a great new series, the best thing about this was that it was free, so I did not waste money.… (lisätietoja)
