Ten seconds may be all she has left …

Kate Edison witnesses her father’s death and, in order to keep his memory alive, decides to follow in his footsteps by joining the CIA. She molds herself into becoming exactly what the CIA is looking for—and captures their interest, both personally and professionally. But before she can finish the CIA process, Kate is offered a position as an espionage agent in another highly secretive government agency, which she accepts.

While completing her agency training, Kate is catapulted into a shadowy world where wealth and power are the ultimate goal, and those in charge will stop at nothing to get it. While on the job, Kate uncovers secrets that, if revealed, would cost her life, but if kept, could bring down a nation. Isolated and unsure of who to trust, she brings in a fellow agent, but pulling him into the web of conspiracy and lies puts a target on both their backs – and it will take every skill they’ve ever learned as agents to stay alive long enough to stop the enemy no one else can see.

Seconds to Live, A Scarlet Falls Novel by Melinda Leigh is a suspense-filled story that kept my attention. I gave it four stars.

Detective Stella Dane was promoted only six months before. She's working with senior detective, Brody McNamara and they are investigating when a body was discovered on a baseball diamond. This would be the first time she would work a case alone. Brody's girlfriend's father was seriously ill and he would be taking some leave to be with her.

The killer recorded the newscast of the discovery of the body. "How could he make his message clear? Some people were unworthy of life. There were consequences for bad decisions. People should be punished for their sins. What would it take for the world to understand?" He realized that Detective Dane was the one who needed to be convinced.

I purchased a copy of Saturday night and it was finished by early Sunday morning.

Book: Read a book set in the UK, a political thriller, a book involving any monarchy or revolution, a book about arson or related to fires and burning, a book whose plot involves costumes / fancy dress, or that has masks on the cover, or that is self-published.

Reading this with the fire on the cover. 

It is about a teenager Mickey and his investigation on happening of his father who died, and got involved in an organization like children underground. 

There is a bat lady and there is a neighborhood haunting house. The lady said his father is not dead. Wanting it to be true so much, Mickey want to seek his uncle's help to find out. 

IN the meantime, Rachel was shot. 

He with his side kick Ema and Spoon, would try to find out what's happened to Rachel and who killed her mom. 

The plot is not great, but the story stay good in a teenage spying on adult thing. There is masks involved as well as they had worn mask from the Lion King. 

Mickey didn't like his uncle as he thought he should have come and rescue his parents and him when their life started to fall apart. But that's not right. His mother was an addict, that's got nothing to do with his uncle. Anyway, it is more of a plot of make a much more powerful ally staying away from the investigation. 

Myron is the sport agent detective that I like so much.

Overall, a good read. There is a third book to the series. 

4.5 stars read.
