I've been a fan of this author since the Escape series, and now the Alivia Morgan series has me hooked as well.

So the Creighton Files (last book) had me change my thought on how I was a fan of these books. That book has Alivia total bad ass - Mission Impossible style.. So if that type of adventure is your niche - these books are for YOU!!! Non stop action and trill at almost every page. The pace of the book is quick, and the timeline of the story spans 1 day!

What made me not give this 5 stars was the mole story. There was so much going on with this, that I felt the mole was an easy bad guy - but it played well, hence the 4 stars. If you figure out who it is, then the author must have told you - because I felt he did a great job in the twist - even though you knew a mole was coming.

I would have liked to seen more of the ending play out, (vs the epilog that took us into the future a few months, and the teaser/cliffhanger for the next book - but I do respect that the author leaves it to the reader's imagination... Can't wait for the next book!

Heart pounding action

Another non-stop action read! It's impossible to set down an Alivia Morgan thriller until it's finished. Although her almost super human skills seem a bit far fetched at times, I want them to be real. Looking forward to the next book.

Outstanding!

Having worked in a hospital during an Ebola scare -- this thriller hit way close to home!
A wild ride, and an excellent continuation of a great series.

Wonderful read! keeps you on the edge of your seat with action and the revelance of what is happening around us. Now I need to go back and read the rest of the series.

Entertaining. But a little too far fetched.
