Minutes to Die (Homeland Heroes Book #2)

What an adrenalin rush!!!! From the very first chapter to the last, I was completely locked in to the story! In fact, I had to remind myself that this story wasn't actually happening - that it was fiction! My heart was pounding so fast a few times that I had to take a break and slow it down! This author knows how to write suspense and this book is quite the example! A terrorist plot that is supposed to kill "millions" and the RED team is supposed to find out what it is and where within days. I just couldn't image how they could do it - they have so little intel on who, what, and where. It gave me a whole new appreciation for what our federal agents do all the time. We don't know half of what they do to keep our country safe. I liked the main characters, Kiley and Evan too. They had history, although it wasn't all that good, but they were able to overcome it and work together on this challenging case. There was a lot going on but there would be in a case like this ad Kiley's RED team was amazing. I was fascinated by all they accomplished. You don't have to read the first book to know what is happening in this one but you'd understand the characters a little more! I highly recommend this book! I couldn't put it down!

Minutes to Die Homeland Heroes #2 By Susan Sleeman FBI Agent Kiley Dawson's CI has been killed just moments after revealing that a terrorist attack is imminent. With only a few words to go on, stopping the coming devastation seems nearly impossible, but the RED Team doesn't know the meaning of impossible. ICE Agent Evan Bowers has tracked down evidence of smuggled terrorists. Terrorists that came prepared to carry out an attack. But with no way to identify the suspects, the chance of stopping them has dramatically dropped. Calling in what he's found brings the RED Team into his investigation - an investigation he is determined to be a part of. Now he just needs to convince the lead agent to keep him on - not an easy sell given the history he and Kiley share. One in which her former partner was killed under his leadership, and she lays the blame squarely on his shoulders. But time is short, and to accomplish what they need to will require working through their discomfort. Can the two work together long enough to stop the coming attack that is rumored to be bigger than 9/11? Or will the lack of online or dark web chatter work to their detriment?
