Such a good book

I loved this book! Two interesting and complex characters, that have dialogue and depth and chemistry and intelligence. I could barely put down this book, I wanted to read ‘just one more page’ every time I picked it up. It was incredibly written, my heart rate accelerating during the tense bits, I was so engrossed and invested. I really loved the storyline and the twists and the slow reveal of information.

Tension, danger and cross country suspense

Cold Deceit
Cold Justice- Most Wanted #2
Toni Anderson
Zoe Miller, forensic anthropologist and tough as nails humanitarian. Best not to mention her famous mother and father. When she sends out an SOS the calvary comes in the form of the rugged FBI operative Seth Hopper, former SEAL now HRT with a fragile heart.
“Zoe Miller was going to be his downfall…”
A cross country trek with ex’s, possibly a cartel and other unknown danger on her tail is not how Zoe thought her new start at her new job would go.
Tension, danger and suspense builds throughout this fast paced novel which I love, but the characters are the most important part and these are awesome. Seth and Zoe are the leads but being a Cold novel the supporting cast are strong and a little familiar.
This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone novel with hea.
Ms Anderson you have done it again, loved it!
I received an arc of this book.
