Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

Great thriller which kept me turning the pages well into the night. Great characters and plot. Highly recommend to others!!

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity.
Some interesting ideas behind this story but it sadly failed to deliver for me as I didn't really enjoy it.
An OK read.

Imminent Threat by Jeff Gunhus
A Scott and Mara Roberts Thriller #2

Omega is the threat…and Alpha Team, undercover operative group, is to find and take Omega down. Mara and Scott Roberts are on the team though Mara has taken some much-needed time off only to be called in before she was ready. Why? Omega is to be put on the back burner because a dangerous Russian spy everyone thought was dead has surfaced twenty years after he was supposedly buried. Will they be able to take down the spy? Will Omega be seen? Will Scott and Mara survive to show up in another book? Hopefully, they will.

Action-packed, global travel, plenty of bad guys to deal with and the hope that good will thwart evil in this book that is not the end of the series. I loved book one in this series and the opening scene of this book was intense and then I had to suspend belief a bit as the story continued. I am not thrilled with religious zealots and people out to end the world…perhaps because it seems to hit too close to home this year and where I live in the Middle East. The writing was well done, and the story flowed easily with a few flashbacks here and there with twist, turns and surprises as well.

Did I enjoy this book? For the most part
Would I read more in this series? I think so

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington books for the ARC – This is my honest review.

4 Stars

Scott and Mara are father and daughter, killers, spies, whatever the USA needs them to be. This time they must stop a one man threat, who may or may not be working with Omega. The storyline kept me on my toes, quickly turning pages and needing answers. While the story is told from multiple people it was definitely a cohesive thrill. Each viewpoint gave a new emphasis to the story and allows readers to piece the moves together. Some of the fight scenes were meant for the movies and I made sure to read each step carefully to get the complete picture in my head. The story ends but there is an opening for another book, I really hope Gunhus continues the series. My copy came from Netgalley and my review was provided voluntarily.

It might have helped to have read the first book as I felt a bit lost at the start of this one. That said, if you're looking for an action packed, out there kinda read, this one might be for you. It's definitely plot, not character driven, so you'll find yourself turning the pages. Good guys, bad guys, international conspiracies- they're all here. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

Suspend credibility for this thriller. It’s action packed but definitely more on the fantastic side than the realistic. The relationship between father and daughter is sometimes complex but always fascinating.
