This is the second in a series starring Samantha Owens, a
forensic pathologist. I, however, felt this book had duo lead characters -- Sam
and Xander. The two of them work well together and complement each other with
their viewpoints and skills. They have to find out who's behind the release of
the pathogen and why.
They also have to determine whether this was a mass
attack or an assassination. And heating on the back burner is the question of
whether their relationship will go to the next level.
The Edge of Black is a fast read. Not because it's short,
because it's not. It's a fast read because I kept picking it up and reading
instead of doing other things that needed to be done. It has a lot of interesting side characters,
action, twists, and just a tad of a growing romance.
I give The Edge of Black a rating of Hel-of-a-Situation

FTC Disclaimer: I did not buy this book. It was sent to me
by a publicist. Unfortunately, my office looks like a cyclone hit it and I
cannot find the package that it came in. Therefore, I cannot acknowledge that
person. Whoever sent it, thank you. I enjoyed the book. Disclaimer #2: A
cyclone did not actually hit my office. I don't think there's ever been a
cyclone in central Texas. Disclaimer #3: We've had hurricanes hit the coast of
Texas, but I believe a cyclone takes place over dry land, not water. Disclaimer
#4: I could be wrong on that. The dry land/water thing. Not the book. I liked
the book.
Sounds like the kind of thriller I like to read.
ReplyDeleteMini cyclones have been known to invade homes, sometimes just single rooms. At least that's what my children tell me happened in their bedrooms.
Cyclones around here seem to attack only the living room. I seem to be constantly either sweeping or vacuuming.
DeleteI love a book you can't put down. To heck with chores, sunshine outdoors, etc. Must find out what happens. This sounds like a winner.
ReplyDeleteI've read a few books that I did put down and walk away, but this wasn't one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the introduction to another good book. Or perhaps I should not thank you. I cannot believe how many books I have stacked up to be read. The busier I get with writing and all the business connected to it, the less time I have to just read.
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you mean, Maryann. I have one or two of those stacks on my office floor.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your disclaimers. You're apparently lucky, to get that many books for free :>:)
