From USA Today bestselling author Robert Swartwood comes the latest in his bestselling Holly Lin thriller series.

Holly Lin has a new life. A new identity. It's been almost a year since she walked away from being a non-sanctioned government assassin. She now lives in a small Texan town, spending her nights as a bartender, her days shelving books at the local library.

But it all changes one night when she's approached by a woman covered in blood — a woman holding a baby. Within minutes, the baby has been placed in Holly's arms and the woman is dead, killed by two men.

Soon Holly Lin will learn a hard truth: the world she walked away from hasn't forgotten her. And it will do whatever it takes to get her back.

Hooked

I’m seriously hooked on this series. Non stop action from the beginning keeps me turning the pages. Holly is back with her bada$$ self! Definitely want more Nova and Holly time. Their the perfect team!

Electric

Well written as always to keep us on our toes, with sizzling consequences. Holly, saving the most vulnerable and making sure the perpetrators are given a taste of their own medicine. With a new character in tow Holly shows her bad ass and caring side as she follows her leads impeccably, but do they lead to personal disaster and tragic consequences whilst trying to keep one step ahead.

I would say “ one more chapter and I am done for the night. “ But at the end of each chapter, it would drop a bombshell or give one more detail, that I had to read another chapter. Great story line, engaging characters. Wonderful read.

A very good series

Normally, I would read maybe 1 book in the series. But this series grabbed me from the first page. I can't wait to read the next installment of Holly Lin.
