Sue’s evaluate:

She is working the evening shift on the native fuel station for more money because of a truck mortgage her husband took out and since her child will probably be going to school within the Fall.

All of this looks as if a reasonably regular life, till an attention-grabbing flower enters Glynnis’s life by means of a grocery retailer bouquet purchased for her by her husband to assuage his responsible emotions.

She discovers Jeremy has been concerned in a Bitcoin-like scheme together with his good friend Alex, who has now been kidnapped by Romanians.
Her husband has additionally been kidnapped by what appears to be a separate group of terrorists in search of the flower.
She goes to warn Grimes and they’re shot at and he or she should make a getaway throughout which Grimes is taken hostage. The abductors then wish to trade her husband for the plant, however she has found he’s having a web based affair and isn’t certain how she needs to proceed.
Glynnis’s character appears to come back alive and take cost as her circumstances worsen and worse. She discovers hidden depths she was unaware of. She grabs her husband’s weapons from their ransacked home, stepping over a corpse within the backyard like an motion hero, formulates a plan to maintain her son protected and borrows a automobile, bravely rescuing Grimes.
The characters on this thriller are actually well-written. Glynnis and Grimes make a beautiful group on this story of flower terrorism. Every is courageous in their very own means, but right down to Earth, abnormal individuals caught up in an exceptionally out of the abnormal set of circumstances. They complement one another properly, regardless of having solely simply met. Fortuitously for the 2 unlikely desperados, Grimes has a detailed good friend, Jimmy, a person who’s an professional in residing off the grid they usually flee to him for assist. Jimmy is a really gratifying character, if considerably stereotypical.
Regardless of this being an action-packed novel, there’s a thread of humour operating all through which I actually loved. I might extremely suggest this ebook to followers of thrillers who like a bit thriller and Sci-Fi thrown in!
