Every Second Counts [Split Second #2]
by Sophie McKenzie

Synopsis:

This is the second book in the series. If you've not read Split Second, this synopsis will contain spoilers.

The heart-stopping sequel to Split Second. Nat and Charlie are on the run, and in more danger than ever . . .

Nowhere is safe for Charlie and Nat. They have each other, but Roman Riley's networks could reach them at any time. Charlie believes the only option is to go undercover in Riley's team, and sneaks away from Nat to pursue her plan alone. Nat is desperate to find Charlie, but his family are in danger and Riley is coming ever closer. Even if Nat and Charlie can find each other again, could being together be even more dangerous than being apart . . .?

I almost felt as though I had to choose this one for my post this week ... or rather that it chose me! I finished Split Second at the weekend and full-on adored it. I had been sceptical, in all honesty, because the only other book I had read by the author was Girl, Missing, and I had not been so keen on that. But Split Second has proven to me that at least some of Sophie's books are definitely for me. I had been describing the book to my friends as 'the intense one' the whole time I was reading, and the ending is such a cliffhanger that I know it's not going to be long before I cave in and buy this (book-buying ban or no book-buying ban). Totally addictive!
