Mari adjusted her rifle. She had more rounds in a box but mari wouldn’t need them as she didn’t miss. Or she wasn’t used to missing. Mari was a gun for hire. Mari was also the daughter of one of the world’s most renowned scientist.  She was steady, fearless and was a badass. She lay prone two stories up in a half finished building waiting for her target. She was feeling crazy. It must be the thing. The job- the mechethon N series. Indistinguishable from a human person. She had a remote partner . heron and Mari were working partners , sharing a contract but not much else. On this job she was a shooter ro hia operations planner. But he had other assets in play: drones. cameras , bots, you name it. More dependable assets and as she was the only one who had to be talked down from having the shakes. Heron might pull bigger, more high profile contracts but most of Mari’s work was small time property destruction and softkill intercepts. She could bring down a clone easily but most drones don’t look like people. Mari shouldn’t have taken this job. Everything about it stinks. Heron had been against it from the start. But the payoff she had been promised that made it worthwhile. Heron said he didn’t trust the Texas Proversional Authority, he said he didn’t trust them with her. Heron said mari was his mission priority. Mission. Job. That’s all Mari was to Heron, getting her in and out of jobs was the beginning and end of his care for her. Mari sometimes thought of Heron as her guardian when things got hairy. Her usual contracts: thieving, demolition, corporate data smuggling- paid well enough that she could take off a few weeks, blush her mind and abuse her body in all the best ways. Mari was attracted to Heron. Maybe talking to him had settled her down. The quiver in her knuckles had eased, gone was the overwhelming need tp twitch, to run, to scrub the burnt 4rain smell out of her senses. Mari was [pretty accurate . maybe the best human shooter around but she she trusted Heron to let her know when  her angle was best, when she’d be clear of chrome interference. Now she would wait for his sign. Mari had a habit at not looking at death in the face even of machine death. Heron told her they got it. A jolt of wrongness went down her spine. But she needed to get herself together. She had twenty eight minutes to break down her weapon, toss some clothes over her muddy tank and leggings. And meet heron at the street level bodega for extraction. All these years looking out for Mari . protecting her, but this time he failed. The job was a disaster. Mari was now flagged as a enemy of the United North American Nation- UNAN . A texas rebel. A public danger. Shoot in sight. Not good. Texas had succeeded from the U S into another country and is battling for control against the UNAN. It was just a matter of time before the UNAN offered a bounty and a whole hoard of vigilante anti Texas contientatist would ce coming for Mari. His partner, his responsibility. He needed to order his thoughts. He needed to plan. He needed control. There was no way within normal parameters the authorities could have known her identity and location this quickly. Mari had been set up and he had a good idea who had done it. Heron had to go get Mari and get her out of here. Somewhere safe. Hide her. Interpol had her bios now but he suspected the UNAN agents would find her first. He knew what Mari thought about people with implanted tech, cyborgs. No better than machines. Mari could tell something was wrong. She just offed a whole organic . Murder of a organic was high stakes- Felony. Thirty to life. Murder had not been part of this contract. Doing something that wrong hurt. Hollowed her out, filled the new empty space with guilt, dark, amd yuck. And memories. She can’t wig out now, not in front of Heron. Heron exerted control over everything. His job, his environment, his drones. His body. His odd must of self possession and mystery Mari had a hard time resisting. He was doing everything he could to save her. Heron loved Mari but didn’t let her know as he believes Mari isn’t interested in him but on reality she feels the same as him., he kept everything professional until things change with they are on the run together. Heron and Mari were now in the most wanted list. Heron and Mari must figure out who betrayed them.

I had mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed most of the book. I loved the action.But would have ;ied more background on a lot of things. I liked when Heron finally let mari know he cares about and wants her. I didn’t like the use of sci-fi terms. I was confused at times and these terms didn’t help. I did  enjoy the pace. I would have liked Mari and herons romance to be spread out a bit even though I know they were on the run for their lives. This dragged for me at times. I did like the twists in this. Soas you can see i did have mixed feelings.

Maggie Stone reluctantly goes along with her brother, Andy, and her best friend/roommate, Sarah, to the launch party of the Vertix H2. The Vertix is an innovative device that connects to your brain stem and allows you to control virtual reality with your mind. It becomes an addiction for Maggie and it's quickly ruining her life.

I could not put this book down. Although Maggie was frustrating and kind of childish at times I was so wrapped up in her life. Everyone felt real and this new Vertix could very well happen in the near future. It sounds amazing, too, to be honest. There were some cool apps. Since it's split screen, you could see the places you're looking at as they are in the present as well as how they looked in the past. Very interesting and creative. The author lost me towards the end - it was just a tiny bit too long and felt different from the rest of the book as Maggie's addiction and her life spiraled out of control, but overall I enjoyed this story of being addicted to the newest technology, social media and virtual reality. It's relatable in this day and age.

I won a copy of this book through LibraryThing. Thank you to BHC Press.

Whatever they are taught today will be obsolete tomorrow. But the concepts won't. Good programming requires the ability to break down a task, organise the steps in performing it, identify parts of the process that are common or repetitive so they can be bundled together, handed-off or delegated, etc. These concepts can be applied to any programming language, and indeed to many non-software activities. Educating youth does not drive wages down. It drives our economy up. China, India, and other countries are training youth in programming skills. Educating our youth means that they will be able to compete globally. This is the standard from the Right that we don't need to educate our youth, but instead fantasize about high-paying manufacturing jobs miraculously coming back. Many jobs, including new manufacturing jobs have an element of coding because they are automated. Other industries require coding skills to maintain web sites and keep computer systems running. Learning coding skills opens these doors. Coding teaches logic, an essential thought process. Learning to code, like learning anything, increases the brains ability to adapt to new environments which is essential to our survival as a species. We must invest in educating our youth. What coding does not teach is how to improve our non-code infrastructure and how to keep it running (that’s the stuff which actually moves things).

The Fast and the Furious meets Mr. Robot in USA Todaybestselling author Megan Erickson's thrilling new romantic suspense series.

Hacker extraordinaire Roarke Brennan lives each hour - each breath - to avenge his brother's murder. His first move: put together a team of the best coders he knows. They're all brilliant, specialized, and everyone an epic pain in his ass. Only now Wren Lee wants in too, threatening to upset their delicate balance. The girl Roarke never allowed himself to want is all grown up with sexy confidence and a dark past ... and she's the wild card he can't control.

Roarke might still think she's a kid, but Wren's been to hell and back. Nothing and nobody can stop her - especially the tatted-up, cocky-as-all-hell hacker. But when years of longing and chemistry collide, Wren and Roarke discover that revenge may be a dish best served blazing hot.

Zero Hour is a thrilling read full of suspense, thrills and romance. The characters draw readers in with their strong, compelling presence and the fast paced story keeps the anticipation building throughout.

The story is a bit misleading because you expect it to be more sedate than it is because of the stereo typing belief that hackers are all about their computers. That is definitely not the case here as readers find out almost right off the bat. The hero and heroine, Roarke and Wren are two characters that demand attention and captivate readers with their charismatic personalities that are somewhat expected but are so much more than expected that I just had to get to know them better. Which leads me to their romance, it is full of emotional turmoil which adds lots of depth and tugs at heartstrings.

Now, we get to the thrilling suspense of the story, it is not only fast paced, I have to agree with the “Fast & Furious” feel of the story. It has lots of twists and unexpected surprises that really keeps readers on the edge of their seats as the anticipation builds throughout. Along with the question of whether these characters will let revenge rule their lives, will revenge be enough, will it come between the growing relationship and even the question of whether they will survive?

Zero Hour is the first book that I have read by Megan Erickson and what a great one to start out with. I was glued to the pages from beginning to end and found the world exciting and daring and the author brought it vivid life, so I am looking forward to not only reading the next book in the Wired & Dangerous series but more books by Megan Erickson.

Zero Hour is the 1^st book in the Wired & Dangerous series.
