Dead Against Her and Seconds to Live get rebirth in the shape of this book which has suspense and mental torture that keeps on increasing for the main characters. Melinda Leigh is the writer so the story is not moving away from the main goal at any place. Cris Dukehart has not tried to go high-pitched while narrating this story which is a nice thing on his part.
