Seconds to Live
is an intense suspense novel involving the security of witnesses in
the witness protection program when the WITSEC database is hacked.
The FBI's RED team, headed by Sean Nichols, and WITSEC deputy Taylor
Mills work together to locate the infamous hacker known as Phantom
who is selling witnesses' data on the dark web. Sleeman's research
into WITSEC procedures and the technology included in this story is
evident.
The
suspense drives this novel, and that is a good thing because the
romance is over the top cheesy. While reading I asked my husband if
he'd ever wanted to climb into a book and Gibb's smack a character,
and he just looked at me like I was a bit nuts, but Sean and Taylor
would both benefit from an encounter with Gibbs. (If that doesn't
make sense to you, you have never watched NCIS.) The author interwove
these characters' faith and trust in one another with their faith and
trust in God. All of that said, I would still recommend this book
because the suspense is so good.
I
am grateful to have received a copy of Seconds to Live
from Bethany House Publishers via NetGalley in exchange for my honest
opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review and
received no monetary compensation.
