Just as Homeland
Security Agent Addison Leigh reaches the pinnacle of her cyber investigation
into a firearms smuggling ring, she's attacked and left for dead. Her estranged
husband, ICE Agent Mack Jordan, is notified that she's at the hospital in a
coma. He may have let his past military trauma ruin their short marriage, but
she never gave up on their relationship, and he remains her next of kin.
Mack rushes to her bedside, where he promises to hunt down the man who attacked
her. Mack failed her once when he bailed on their marriage, and he's not about
to let her down again. But when she wakes up in the hospital, she remembers
neither the attack nor ever being married to Mack. And when a second attempt to
take her life is made, it's clear something very sinister is going on, and Mack
and Addison are in for the ride of their lives.

Thoughts:
Hours
to Kill by Susan Sleeman is a fast procedural story of the
hunt for a stalker. From the first page, Sleeman takes readers for a ride with
the suspense. The romance hints on the pages between the hero and the heroine.
They had a past that took a while to come to the surface for the readers. As
for the suspense, it was not a constant chase through to the end of the story.
Instead, Sleeman takes readers for a ride as they watch the steps and the
teamwork to solve the crime. She shows different aspects of the legal procedures
and how many people it would take to solve the crime. When the story reached
the climactic moment, it was definitely something different. Something readers
would read in the newspaper, not in a fiction story. I enjoyed the aspect.
Overall, Hours to Kill by Susan
Sleeman keeps the reader guessing. I believe, if readers enjoyed, CSI or any
other type of shows like this, then they might enjoy Hours to Kill by Susan
Sleeman.
I received a complimentary copy of Hours to Kill by Susan Sleeman by
Bethany House Publishers, but the opinions stated are all my own.
