Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author Mike Omer returns with chilling twists and turns for a hostage negotiator with a dark past in this explosive second installment of the Abby Mullen Thrillers.

As a child, Abby Mullen escaped the insidious Wilcox cult when it literally went down in flames. Years later, she’s the NYPD’s best hostage negotiator and a mother. She thought the worst part of her life was behind her. Until now. Armed conspiracy theorists called the Watchers have attacked the local high school - and taken her daughter hostage.

With the delusional Watchers holding her child at gunpoint, the unflappable Abby might be at her breaking point. But the clock is ticking on her daughter’s life, and she has no choice but to negotiate with the paranoid group and discover their leader’s secret before it’s too late.

As Abby peels back the layers of mystery surrounding the Watchers, there’s always another puzzle underneath. And it seems to be leading back to the dark past she’s spent her whole life trying to forget.

Great example of negotiations

The author was spot on with Hostage Negotiations! As a former negotiator, I loved listening to something so accurate.

I need more!!

This was fast paced and thrilling until the end. I seriously gasped at the end with the two lead characters meeting from Mike Omer’s books. Now Zoe Bentley’s next book better start ASAP so we can continue Abby’s story and hopefully catch that Wilcox psycho!!

Psychos

This book is full of them. Crazy people who have cults , who brainwashed their followers. The leader who thinks he is the messiah , and controls their life to the point of murder.
Book is slow at the beginning, but quickly changes to a lot of excitement, and violence then you can’t put it down.

Very good suspense

If you have not read the book previous to this book you will have problems piecing together some facts. The book is very well written. He describes the scenes very well and takes you right to the action. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series. The narration was excellent.
