Critical Threat

Working with the son of a serial killer? That's a first. FBI Special Agent Grace Billingsley tracks serial killers, using her skills as a psychiatrist and behavioral analyst to get dangerous people off the street and safely behind bars. But prison psychiatrist Sam Monroe knows that just because a killer is incarcerated doesn't mean they're not a threat. His own father, Peter, is a serial killer--in prison but certainly not out of Sam's life, as much as he wishes he was. When bodies start showing up with startling similarities to Peter's MO, Sam and Grace are both called in to consult. They've met before, and though Grace thought they'd made a real connection, Sam ghosted her. They'll have to get past the awkwardness and mistrust to solve this case--especially because it's about to get personal. Praise for the Extreme Measure series "An edge-of-your-seat suspense thriller from start to finish."--Library Journal on L

The third book in Lynette Eason's Extreme Measures

walmart.com

From the first page to the very last page of Critical Threat by Lynette Eason, the reader is drawn into the mystery and possible romance around which the story revolves. The reader finds herself/himself in the middle of a very complex plot. The main characters, Grace Billingsley, an FBI agent, and Sam Monroe, a prison psychiatrist, meet for a second time. They are faced with many obstacles as they work together to solve the mystery behind a serial killer in order to stop him or her. There are quite a few secondary characters, and Lynette Eason does a phenomenal job in developing them. This book is one that the reader will find almost impossible to put down. It is a real page turner for sure!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.

Great Read

Lynette Eason is one of the best writers of suspense in today's market. Her books keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you reading long after bedtime. Her books are always on my instant read list. Critical Threat is the third book in her Extreme Measures series and I was delighted to learn that there will be a fourth! I loved the interaction between Grace and Sam. They seemed like real people and they had realistic conversations. I enjoyed having Grace's friends from the previous books visit but would have liked them to be a bit more prominent in this book. The suspense was superior as I have come to expect. All said this was a wonderful book to end 2022 with.
So grab your favorite beverage and a cozy place to read, you will certainly enjoy Critical Threat!

I was given a copy of Critical Threat by the publisher with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

Suspense done right!

** “To put it in simple terms, there are so many broken and hurting people in the world who need God's touch to heal and fix that brokenness.” **

Lynette Eason delivers an incredible third installment in her Extreme Measures series with “Critical Threat,” a fast-paced, action-packed read.

When former acquaintances Grace Billingsley and Sam Monroe find themselves joining forces to find a serial killer, they find themselves drawn not only into the case but toward each other. But as the case gets closer and closer to them personally, they must work through the clues to figure out the identity of the horrific killer.

As always, Eason does an incredible job of developing a plot filled with heart-thumping twists and turns, leaving the reader guessing until the very end. She creates relatable characters with deeply riddled pasts.

She also fills “Critical Threat” with some great themes, like God helps and heals the broken; everyone is troubled in their own way; and we must offer people grace and love.

Fans of authors like Terri Blackstock, Irene Hannon and Carrie Stuart Parks (whom Eason references in this book, which is due out Jan. 3) will love “Critical Threat.”

Five stars out of five. 

Revell provided this complimentary copy through NetGalley for my honest, unbiased review.

Thrilling Suspense

What an amazing suspenseful book this is. The author definitely knows how to write an intense story with characters that grab your attention. I loved the two main characters and thought they worked very well together. Grace is a very intelligent woman who works as a behavioral analyst. Her job can be demanding and dangerous at times. I was impressed with her skills of recalling faces, and picking up clues at crime scenes. There is a serial killer on the loose and Grace is there to help catch the person before more women are killed. 

Sam is a prison psychiatrist and he sure has his hands full with the information he is told. I can see why his job is important though. With his knowledge he has the ability to talk to prisoners and see if there is something they are hiding. Sam also has quite the family history that would scare most relationships away. I can't wait for readers to find out more about this part of Sam. He has tried to remove himself from this secret but it won't go away. 

With a killer on  loose, Grace finds  herself teamed up with Sam to solve the crime. I loved the twists in the story and wondered at times if Grace would survive since she has caught the attention of the serial killer. The puzzles start coming together and the race is on to keep  one step ahead of the danger. There is a faith element in the story but it is light.  The ending is worthy of an award for best edge of your seat adrenaline rush take down the bad guy before he kills again scene. I loved that there is a hint for another book in this series. I will be anxiously awaiting it. 

I received a copy of this book from Revell Blogger Program. The review is my own opinion.

Edge of your seat action

If you're looking for a great suspenseful story to read, this one is for you!  This is the 3rd book in Lynette Eason's Extreme Measures series and it did not disappoint.  From page 1, you are swept into a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end.  I did not want to put the book down!  Lynette does a great job of making you feel like you are right there with the characters! I can't wait for the next book in the series!

I received an ARC from the publisher with no requirements to write a positive review.

On the edge of your seat!

Critical Threat by Lynette Eason is book three in the Extreme Measures series. While this is a series, this story is also an outstanding stand alone story. This is a very well written story that is filled with action, suspense and mystery with touches of family life and romance. This story grabbed my attention from the very beginning and held it to the very end. I was kept guessing as to who the murderer could be and why until the story disclosed the identity.

This is such a good story. It shows the closeness and brotherhood the agents have towards each other as well as the occasional differences they have. This story focuses on a serial killer and murders and drug additions. I especially liked the interactions between Sam and his former mother-in-law. I appreciate Grace's family dynamics in how they deal with her brother's addiction and repeated hospital and treatment stays.

I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of this book, this is my honest review.

Outstanding Story

The third book in the Extreme Measures series did not disappoint! From the opening pages, you are taken on a wild, action packed ride of danger, mystery, and romance. It if full of twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end. 

Grace and Sam are a lot alike. Both are trying to come to terms with their pasts that are bleeding into the present. Together, they work together to find a serial killer before he finds his next victim. As the serial killer sets his sights on Grace, Sam must face his past head on to stop him before it is too late. 

This has been my favorite book of the series! I found this book hard to put down and hated to see it end. It is definitely a must read. 

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

Fast paced thriller!

I was surprised to notice that this was the first book that I have read from this author.  It won't be my last.  It was full of suspense, some romance and a lot of mystery.  This book is a gripping story that you won't want to miss especially for suspense-mystery lovers.  A serial killer is following the MO of Sam's father, an incarcerated serial killer.  He is hampered in life by his father's violent acts and past crimes.  Finding a meaningful relationship is difficult at best, fearing that anyone will assume he is his father's son. Sam is a prison psychiatrist as well, and teams up with Grace, a forensic analyst, in trying to figure out the mind of the criminal.  The book has lots of adventure as time runs out to prevent yet another victim.

Suspense

Critical Threat is a roller coaster ride of murder, mayhem, and psychological profiling – so strap yourself in and get ready for an adventure!

I love the way that Eason combined so many exciting elements in this story. The action level is high – your heart rate will stay high throughout the story. With all of that heart-pounding suspense, though, comes glimpses into the inner-workings of the minds of serial killers. The main characters examine both the criminals around them, as well as their family issues and their own motivations, and this all combines into a fascinating look at what compels people to behave the way that they do.

Eason has mastered romantic tension, and you'll never wonder what Grace and Sam are feeling. Throw in their dysfunctional family histories and the threats they're currently under, and their plates are overflowing both personally and professionally. This made Critical Threat both an engaging and deep read for me.

If you've read Eason's other books in her Extreme Measures series, you'll definitely want to grab Critical Threat. If you're a fan of romantic suspense and haven't tried any of them yet, go ahead and grab the whole series, because while you could read this one as a stand-alone, you won't want to – you'll want them all.

Fantastic romantic suspense
