About this book:

"Though Emily Hunt comes from a family of cops, the relatively quietlife of a high school teacher suits her just fine. She's saving up to buy a house, slowly moving forward after her brother's death, and settling into a life she loves. So the last person she wants to spend time with is Mason Taylor.
An undercover cop, Mason is enemy number one as far as her family is concerned. His involvement in the death of Emily's brother is still up in the air, and now he expects her to help him with a case. Mason has been working with one of her students, Rafael Cerda, whose brother has been kidnapped by a drug cartel. And with time running out to meet their demands, Rafael is getting desperate.
Emily will have to draw on all her strength to handle what happens next..."

Oh my. "Fatal Exchange" had me on the edge of my seat! I was really scared about reading it--I didn't know if it would be detailed! In all honesty, I had myself prepared not to go past the second chapter...if I got that far! I do not do blood, or gore or dead bodies--I get lightheaded!
I enjoy "Fatal Exchange" much more than I thought I would, but I would not recommend to younger girls...I'll have a book up some-time soon of one I would recommend to younger girls though! :)
