I received a copy of Meltdown by Tara Thompson in exchange for an honest review.
This book is about four individuals whose lives connect at some point and who also know each other, a supermodel, Nyssa, from questionable background who wants nothing to do with her past, an oil baron, Steve, whose carrying his father’s legacy and a self-made billionaire, Demetri whose moving from his past to Aislinn, a super intelligent Wall Street banker.
I thought this book was awesome, my favorite character was Aislinn. She was the least superficial of the four. The characters were all thought out and they are each strong in their own way, Steve for me was selfish, yep that’s what I said, and Demetri being self-made had all the qualities and inner show more strength that made him who he is. Nyssa, boy what a past she had, she overcame many things to have the success she now could enjoy, but was she really happy or just scared to be found a fraud.
A recommended read, most of the characters had to overcome many obstacles to be as successful as they were and this book shows that hard work really does pay off.

SUMMARY: A lethal new drug with devastating side effects, known as Meltdown, is threatening to destabilize society. Dudley knows that the security services have to act fast, and when his 4 x 4 arrives at their remote hideout in the Canadian lakes, eighteen-year-old Danny and his grandfather, ex-SAS hero Fergus Watts, are once again sucked into a deadly undercover operation and a race against time. Their search for the mastermind behind a pair of murderous gangland twins takes them from the clubs of Manchester to Spain and Germany, and Danny needs all his newly learned expertise when he comes up against an old adversary someone he hoped never to encounter again. And this time, when the battle is joined, it is a battle to the end.
