Book Review - Countdown

Lynette Eason drops the next installment of her Extreme Measures series on August 1 and the Countdown is on. If you read the first three books in the series, Raina Price has been a figure throughout as a fixture in the lives of Penny, Grace, and Juliana. Countdown gives us Raina’s backstory, as well as a pulse pounding race to protect one boy from the man who won’t let her go. Since being beaten and left for dead, keeping secrets and guarding her identity are survival requirements in her new life. But Vince Covelli’s patience and quiet persistence make Raina want to trust him. When she sees a familiar face on television, she knows she has to do whatever it takes, at whatever cost to herself, to protect the boy from a threat he doesn’t even know. Opening up to Vince and learning to trust him become necessary, but maybe that’s ok.

In Countdown, Eason delivers action and suspense at every turn. Intrigue is woven into romantic suspense to keep the story moving at an enjoyably fast pace. With characters written carefully to evoke love or hate in turn as appropriate, the multifaceted plot deals subversion on several levels to keep the reader guessing until the satisfying conclusion. If you’re looking for a book you can savor chapter by chapter or one you’ll devour in one sitting, Countdown has your number.
