The story then follows these two, very totally different, dad and mom who crew as much as discover and rescue their youngsters in a frantic and harmful race in opposition to time earlier than one other bomb is detonated.
As I discussed earlier than, I’m not usually a political thriller fan, however WOW Hunted stored me glued to my kindle and devouring every chapter to seek out out what, how, why and the place. It’s extremely topical with a superb solid of plausible and relatable characters. The stress is tight, the tempo is quick and the motion is continuous.
