BOOK SYNOPSIS:
COUNTDOWN TO CRISIS
A serial killer strikes every twelve hours. A vampire takes lives at random. At first glance, these tragic incidents seem unrelated. But Special Investigations Unit agents Sam Ryan and Gabriel Stern trace them both back to a military base known as Hopeworth. Is the murder spree part of a cover-up? And are the vampire killings less by chance and more methodical?
The investigation takes an eerie, personal turn when Sam discovers a connection between herself and the victims—and a clue to her own mysterious origins. With the violence escalating and the danger drawing closer to home, the stakes are raised and the mission changes from seeking justice to ensuring Sam and Gabriel’s own survival. And the one person who seems to hold all the answers—about Hopeworth, about Sam’s past—is a mystery man she isn’t sure she can trust. They share a psychic link through her dreams, and he once saved her life, but he may just be the greatest enemy humankind has ever known.
REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Darn you cliff hanger endings!! This was another really strong installment of the Spook series. There are so many questions and so little answers in this second book. Sam is finding keys to her past and it’s pointing in a direction that is so disturbing. She continues to be a great lead character for this series. She’s extremely practical and self-aware, which makes her very likable and strong. Gabriel is just driving me crazy! Someone just needs to slap him on the head a couple of times. Though it does make for great intensity and funny dialogue between the two. We meet more supporting characters in this book, which is really fun. However, trying to keep all of the plot characters in line was difficult for me. There was just so much going on, at times it was hard to follow. The strong story was there for me and I’m completely invested in this series. I cannot wait for book 3, I need to know how all of this ends!
