Review – Minutes to Die

December 29, 2020 By The Suspense Zone

From the back cover:

Only Minutes Remain until Disaster Strikes

It’s the intel every agent fears–terrorists have been smuggled into the country, intent on unleashing the most deadly attack since 9/11. With the threat imminent, FBI Agent Kiley Dawson and ICE Agent Evan Bowers are charged with taking down this terrorist cell. The only problem is Kiley blames Evan for the death of her former partner, and she can barely be in the same room with him. But with millions of lives on the line, she has no choice.

If it wasn’t for a bad call Evan made, Kiley’s former partner would still be alive, and Evan has to live with that guilt for the rest of his life. When he starts falling for her, the agent’s death seems an impossible obstacle. As the terrorist plot targets Kiley’s family, the two are pushed to the breaking point in a race to save countless lives.

My take:

This is book two in the Homeland Heroes series. I believe it is a stand alone book, however you do miss a little history of the RED team. You do not have to read book one to understand book two (you would miss a good read though).

I love the writing style of Susan Sleeman. She does a lot of research and packs her books full of action, mystery, suspense, FBI/Police and romance. This book is no different. Kiley and Evan have a history they both must overcome all while working together to stop a terrorist attack. I love the sparks between them and the friendship of the RED team. I can’t wait to read book three.
