Loading... Web of Shadowsby Susan Sleeman
None No current Talk conversations about this book.  JennyDominguez | Oct 27, 2016 |   Give yourself a Susan Sleeman book, a coke or coffee, a little quiet. You will emerge for air in a couple of hours, thoroughly entertained, totally terrified, and amazed at the writing prowess of Sleeman, who can control your emotions through the power of her pen. Indeed, in this second book of the Agents Under Fire series, Web of Shadows,Ms. Sleeman again has produced a likable couple at odds (Navy Seal Quinn Stone and FBI agent Nina Brandt, his ex-girlfriend). They must work together to keep Quinn's younger brother out of jail, while trying to locate his computer that hacked the TSA's national security DO NOT FLY list. As in her first book, Web of Deceit, Ms. Sleeman is adept at showing the mind of a deranged killer, this one who possesses a paranoia that drives much of his actions. Reading the book was like watching two chess players (If chess excited me) pit their keen minds against each other. Both protagonists, good and bad, were brilliant. The question is, which one will be able to outwit the other and in both cases, those around them, in order to avoid unthinkable disaster? Sleeman's novels are always well-written, tightly wrapping tentacles of fear around the reader's heart. You feel the emotions of the characters as if they were your own. Her writing is tight, and no time is spared throwing the reading into the psychotic,shadowy underworld awaiting. As others have mentioned, I quickly thumbed pages to reach the end, only to be disappointed to have the adventure finally over. Don't miss this fantastic romantic suspense by Susan Sleeman! I was gratefully gifted an advance copy from the author through Netgalley for an honest review, which I have given. (  ) Becky_L | Feb 21, 2016 | no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesAgents Under Fire (Sleeman) (book 2)
A killer is lurking in the shadows . . . FBI agent Nina Brandt loves her job. Sure, she's made some enemies, but she knows she's making the world a better place. It's lonely at times, but she has good friends to get her through. It's a good life. Little does she guess that her past is about to come back and haunt her . . . in more ways than one. When Navy SEAL Quinn Stone learns that his geeky younger brother, Ty, hacked into the TSA's No Fly List, he would rather take a bullet than go to his former fianc?, Nina Brandt, for help. Five years ago, she resented his commitment to his SEAL team and gave him an ultimatum--her or the team. He chose the team. But now, he and his brother have no other choice . . . not if he doesn't want to see the kid behind bars. Nina has finally moved on, but she can't resist Ty's plea for help . . . especially when he drops a bomb that could rock national security. The laptop he'd used to hack the TSA has been stolen. Fearing terrorists would do just about anything to get their hands on this list, Nina agrees to take the case to her team. After all, this will become an FBI matter and Quinn's help won't be needed . . . as much as she's starting to want it. But the thief has more on his mind than just the list. He's been waiting for a chance to get back at the woman who sent him to prison two years ago. And he intends to make her pay--in the most painful way possible . . . No library descriptions found. |

What do you get when you mix an ex-con out for revenge, hormonal teenage hackers accused of terrorist activities and an ex-couple that think their careers as a SEAL and an FBI agent prevent them from being together even though they love each other? Throw in an unsuspecting accomplice, a freaked out mother and two really close FBI friends and you have a fast paced, edge of your seat page turner. I read this book in one setting. I just recently found Susan Sleeman’s books and found that she is a really great author. I’ve gone back and read some of her older books and I am currently enjoying both of her current series. If you are looking for a new Christian suspense author I suggest you try Susan’s books.
