My Thoughts:
This is the 3rd book in the Ben Harper series, and if you haven’t read the first two (Twelve Secrets and Eleven Liars), then STOP reading this and go and download the entire series as you really do need to read them in order.
So, if you have read the first two books we can safely discuss Ten Seconds without the fear of spoiling the plotline for anyone.
This story starts shortly after Eleven Liars finishes and once again Ben Harper finds himself involved in a dangerous situation when his boss and close friend Madeline is abducted after a birthday celebration dinner.
Ben, together with Madeline’s father Sam and police detective Dani Cash are determined to rescue her regardless of their own personal safety and despite the dangers they encounter.
As well as being a fast paced suspense thriller this series really concentrates on the characters, and slowly the author reveals more about each individual’s back stories.
Fans of this series will be delighted to see how Ben and Dani’s relationship is evolving and finding out more about Madeline and how she got her big break years ago to become the powerhouse journalist she is today,
Ten Seconds is yet another great book in this series and is full of secrets, intrigue and mystery.
