HOLY CRAP! That beginning… that end…plus everything in-between! I am in shock.

I have been on an emotional roller coaster ride Michael Wood style since the very first page of this book. Seriously, I do not think that I have read a book (and I have read a lot) that has not let up at all. From the beginning until the end, this book was nonstop! Whew! I am reeling, literally reeling. I have gasped, sat with my mouth open, felt anxiety, felt sad, and been shocked beyond belief all while reading this book.

A gun man is on a rampage. That is all you need to know. Otherwise, go in blind. The less you know the better.

Wow! Michal Wood pulled out all the stops and blew me away. Fans of this series will feel as if they are right in the action. When you are emotionally connected to a series and enjoy the characters, well……forgive me while I dab my eyes….

Dangerous, Devastating, heartbreaking and shocking! This was one powerful installment in the series. I am wondering, where does he go from here? What will be next for this team? What will we see in the next installment?

I am usually on the edge of my seat while reading this series and Time is Running out was no exception. But I have never felt this much emotion while reading the previous books in this series. This book is full of pain, heartbreak and tears. Wood did a brilliant job of writing his characters thoughts and reactions. It was hard not to have your heart break just a little – who am I kidding, my heart broke a lot while reading this. My husband may or may not have had to pick me up off the floor and put me back in my seat while I was reading this. I cannot even count the number of times I thought “this can’t be happening” while reading this book. All the while desperately hoping that it would all be a dream sequence, but no, it was in fact a nightmare instead.

Not for the weak at heart. It will, as I said, break some hearts. I am honestly sitting here trying to figure out how he will move forward. I will be there grabbing the next book to find out.

My grandmother had a saying “If this doesn’t drive you to drink, I don’t know what will.” Well, Michael Wood you have driven me to drink tonight.

Powerful, devastating, heartbreaking and emotional.

Thank you to One More Chapter and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Honestly, I am still reeling. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
