The Ugly Duckling by Iris Johansen

A very interesting story that takes place on a couple different continents. The short of it is that it is about revenge. A terrible thing has happened to Nell and the only way she feels that she can heal and move on is through revenge. Taneck is there to help her do this, but is always trying to get her to change her mind. There is action, physical tension and suspense. I liked how everything flowed together and had me going until the end. I was not sure how things were going to play out and I was pleasantly surprised. I look forward to reading more of Johanesn's books.
