ADD TO GOODREADS

Forget SEALS, Marines, Fighter Pilots - I have the most dangerous job in the world. And I love it.

James Spears is part of an elite group who lives and breathes danger. Where others run from it, he walks towards it, calm, focussed ice-cold. James is a top EOD operative.
Explosive…
Ordnance…
Disposal…

You’d call him a bomb disposal expert. Or crazy. A guy with a death wish. He’s heard it all before and he doesn’t give a shit. He’s the best.

They say he doesn’t have blood in his veins, he has ice. They say he has no nerves.

All that’s about to be tested.

Amira is recruited by the CIA to infiltrate a terrorist cell living in rural Pennsylvania. She’s the perfect plant, no one would ever suspect her. Because her brother was killed when a bomb was dropped on the Syrian hospital where he was working as a doctor. And now hate burns deeply inside her. She’s perfect.

That’s what they tell James when he’s told to train her to be the best damn bomb-maker there is. In a secret camp, deep in the woods, James teaches her everything he knows about building bombs. He’s not a praying man, but now he’s really hoping that he’s doing the right thing.

O! M! G! This book gave me nightmares and I couldn’t put it down...I read while I was cooking. I read waiting in line at the store. I read on my lunch break and sometimes even walking between rooms. I just couldn’t wait to keep reading more.

Amira & James don’t have it easy. Their pasts are littered with tragedy. Their futures are uncertain. Taking the time in the present is the best they can do.

Clay is definitely my favorite sub-character and I wish I had so much more of him. He keeps the story interesting and lightens the mood just when it gets too dark, but his heart is pure gold and I cried for him several times.

Saying much of anything about the context of the story will give away too much. As a reader, I like to go into a story with as little detail as possible so I’m not going to do a play-by-play of the plot, but I will say that there was a point in the story where I literally threw my phone across the room when I read a certain scene. It was so much...BUT then I immediately ran over to it and picked it back up so I could see what came next.

Prologue - James

We’re born alone and we die alone.

I’ve never been afraid of dying. It’s living that scares the hell out of me.

But in the bomb suit, I am utterly alone.

There is no today, no yesterday, no tomorrow.

Just here, right now.

There is no God, no Devil, no good, no evil.

Just me. And the sound of my breathing, loud and rhythmic.

Just me. And this bomb.

A bomb is a device that is designed to kill, maim or harass.

I’m not afraid. I don’t have time to be afraid.

The sun burns down, the light is a white haze, sweat runs into my eyes. The longer I’m out here, kneeling in the dust, the more vulnerable the team watching my back.
I can’t be quick. I have to be certain.

Because if I’m wrong, I die.

I am an EOD operator.

Explosives

Ordnance

Disposal.

Bomb disposal.

I am the Tick Tock man.
