    About this ebook

    I'm Lexi Carmichael, geek extraordinaire. I spend my days stopping computer hackers at the National Security Agency. My nights? Those I spend avoiding my mother and eating cereal for dinner. Even though I work for a top-secret agency, I've never been in an exciting car chase, sipped a stirred (not shaken) martini, or shot a poison dart from an umbrella.

    Until today, that is, when two gun-toting thugs popped up in my life and my best friend disappeared. So, I've enlisted the help of the Zimmerman twinsthe reclusive architects of America's most sensitive electronic networksto help me navigate a bewildering maze of leads to find her.

    Along the way, my path collides with a sexy government agent and a rich, handsome lawyer, both of whom seem to have the hots for me. Hacking, espionage, sexy spy-menit's a geek girl's dream come true. If it weren't for those gun-toting thugs...

      Nice fun mystery with a likable lead. Looking forward to the next book
    • 4/5
      A great read with some laugh out-loud moments, intriguing story line, and funny sexy dialogue.
    • 1/5
      this is terrible. the protagonist is so completely vacuous, it is a painful and obvious disconnect that she is presented as a member of the intelligence community; i just can't get past that. she 'redeems' herself by having everything worked out into a mathematical equation, and even that she screws up her equation's factors. the ending is just as lazy too: a civilian out-talks a very high ranking military-tactical officer into submission, just like that. really?? i did find the twins amusing though, but they and all the other characters seem like side-garnish
    • 1/5
      Protagonist is not a geek, does not seem appealing, and I quit reading quite soon.
    • 3/5
      This was a fun book, and I kept reading because I wanted to know what was going to happen, but, O.M.G., there are plot holes you could drive a semi through. Then at the very end, it just goes sort of…pfffth. All the love interests just disappear except the one guy who was not particularly interesting, daring, funny, helpful, or honest. But he’s filthy rich! And conventionally handsome! Yeah. So, why him and not one of the guys who’ve been helping her all along, at least one of whom seems to be pining for her? Where did they go?

      Also, the heroine’s ongoing cluelessness got to me; on the one hand, we keep being told she’s very, very, extremely, super smart, but on the other, she says and does some breathtakingly dumb things. But my favorite—I’m not sure how to characterize this—preposterror?—is when the heroine, a professional computer hacker, looks up a phone number in the yellow pages. No, really: she finds a printed phone book, opens it, turns the pages, looks up several companies,…I seriously doubt that anyone under the age of twenty-five—the age she’s about to turn—even knows what a “yellow pages” is for. I’m forty, a nonhacker, and haven’t used one in at least a decade; it’s a terrible way to look up that kind of information. But does Lexi know of any other? At no point does she ever attempt to search the Internet, with which she supposedly works all day, for information. Instead she keeps asking her more skilled hacker friends (and her very conveniently employed brothers) to dig stuff up through patently illegal means—and then, ludicrously, balks at having them do one last little illegal intrusion. Wha—?! She just figured out now that she’s jeopardizing her friends’ jobs?

      Finally, like most e-books, it needs a firm whack with a proofreading stick: missing words, glaring redundancies, a zillion missing or misplaced commas (it’s a vast, flowing sea of run-on sentences), faulty parallelisms, and misspellings. And no serial commas—which, yes, is considered by many to be just a style choice (I disagree), but it’s an unusual choice for a trade book.

      Lexi Carmichael is a geek, a computer geek to be specific, and works for the NSA. She has no love life to speak of, and doesn't find herself to be very appealing to men. But now her best friend Basia has disappeared and men seem to be lining up to help find her.I loved the action in this story. It was fast paced and exciting. It was great to see a bunch of computer geeks in action to save the day. In fact, the computer geeks were my favorite part...except for Lexi. Now since Lexi is our main character, that poses quite a predicament. Lexi is just a little too depressing. She complains about her lack of love life, her lack of taste in clothes, and about anyone who tries to help her. She gets a bit annoying at times just because she is always talking herself down.The action, on the other hand, is fantastic. There are so many twists and turns subtly worked into the story, and they kept me guessing up until the very end.3/5
    • 3/5
      Lexi Carmichael is a computer geek to the max. She has no boyfriend and no real social life. That changes when a friend mails her a document that has people from all over the world knocking down Lexi’s door trying to get it. She calls in reinforcements in the form of her computer geek friends and realizes she is the last piece to the puzzle in a fertilization program gone horribly wrong.After a few days of pondering, I am still just mehh about this book. I am in love with the plot and some of the characters. I love books that sit back and make me think “How did anyone ever come up with this?”. But there was also a lot of computer nerdy talk in the book, along with fertility talk that is way over my head. I had to go back and read a lot of pages, and skimmed a few just because I knew that even if I did read it, it still wouldn’t make sense.One of the things I love most about books and movies is figuring out how the title plays into it. You normally hear the phrase in the book or movie or are able to connect it together after you are done. I didn’t really understood how the title matched until I was finished. It works very well with the book.I give No One Lives Twice 3 bookmarks.
