Description:
Former CIA sniper Kadance Tolle possesses a special set of skills and a rare pedigree. She comes from a family of assassins, and by saving Lyndon Vaile's life she risks being found by them. Despite the danger, Kadance feels compelled to help Lyndon discover who is after him--and his research that seems to prove that the Ebola virus was manmade and is about to be weaponized.
With shadowy figures pursuing them and a Mastermind watching their every move, Kadance and Lyndon must scramble to stop an impending bioattack at the State of the Union address. But their warnings fall on deaf ears, and it becomes increasingly clear that there's no one they can trust--except perhaps each other.
Strap in for a breakneck story that will have you up all night, hurtling toward the last page as the clock ticks and time runs out.

My Thoughts:
I haven’t taken the opportunity to read a new-to-me author in a while and I was very excited for this book! Sometimes I just need something different to get out of a reading slump and this definitely fit the bill. It is a fast-paced read that kept me guessing, while also just really wanting to snuggle Mac.
Suspense is such an interesting balance of action and character arc, something I thought Ms. Koslin did quite well. I enjoyed the intriguing ride, while also getting to know Lyndon and Kadance. Of the two, I would have to say that oddly enough, Lyndon was my favorite. I liked Kadance, but sometimes she seemed a little stiff and not quite likable. Mac was probably my favorite character, though he never actually says a word.
Having not read anything from this author before, my mind raced, wondering if the villain was someone I could guess or if it would be an outside character, only revealed at the end. I was definitely in for a surprise! Though I have to say that while I found the ending a little anti-climatic, it was also pretty satisfying.
Overall, I could honestly see this book being a movie and I would totally pay to watch it! Reminiscent of some of my favorite action flicks, I enjoyed the turn of every page and the race to the finish.
*My thanks to the publisher for my copy of this book! I was not required to write a review, positive or otherwise, and have not been compensated for it in any way. All opinions expressed are my own.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Sorry for the silence of the last month! My old laptop decided to crash a few weeks ago and we've been waiting for the new one to arrive. Thankfully, my sweet husband did some searching and found a new one that works great and was on sale!
Anyway, that's a tiny slice of my life lately - as in super tiny, haha! It's late, so I'll just say that the links are below and I hope whenever you're reading this, that the rest of your day is delightful!
