Ten seconds may be all she has left …
Kate Edison witnesses her father’s death and, in order to keep his memory alive, decides to follow in his footsteps by joining the CIA. She molds herself into becoming exactly what the CIA is looking for—and captures their interest, both personally and professionally. But before she can finish the CIA process, Kate is offered a position as an espionage agent in another highly secretive government agency, which she accepts.
While completing her agency training, Kate is catapulted into a shadowy world where wealth and power are the ultimate goal, and those in charge will stop at nothing to get it. While on the job, Kate uncovers secrets that, if revealed, would cost her life, but if kept, could bring down a nation. Isolated and unsure of who to trust, she brings in a fellow agent, but pulling him into the web of conspiracy and lies puts a target on both their backs – and it will take every skill they’ve ever learned as agents to stay alive long enough to stop the enemy no one else can see.

My Review:
At sixteen-years-old Kate Edison witness her father's death right before her eyes. Kate's dad worked for the CIA and after his death Kate decides to follow in her father's footsteps and join the CIA herself. Kate works real hard and puts everything she has into her interview and tryouts to see if she is CIA material. Kate is a very competitive person and never wants to lose no matter what she is doing. She will push her body to its limits to accomplish her tasks.
Before Kate completes her CIA training she is offered a job by a secret government agency. Kate is giving some time to make her decision as to which job she wants. Does she want to work for the CIA or does she want to work for this other more secretive government agency?
Kate decides to take the job offered by the more secretive government agency. After she begins the job she uncovers some information that if kept to her could result in the loss of millions of lives. If she exposes this information to the world it could cost her, her life but save millions in the process.
Kate wants to do what is right no matter what the cost is to her but she can't bring these people down all by herself but there is no one in this secret agency that she trust. The only thing she can do is bring in someone from the outside to help her stop this enemy. This is a dangerous job that neither Kate nor her friend may come out of alive.
Ten Seconds to Dead is a fast paced book that drew me in from the first page and had me pulling for Kate from the very beginning. Kate is a very strong and determined girl who never gives up. She will fight for what is right until her dying breath.
Ten Seconds to Dead has enough action to keep the pages tuning and the eyes glued to the page wanting and waiting to see where Kate takes you next and how she handles any given situation that she finds herself in. Ten Seconds to Dead will have you on the edge of your seat trying to guess as to what is going to happen next throughout the whole story leaving you with lots of suspense with each turn of the page.
Ten Seconds to Dead is one book I highly recommend to anyone who likes a good spy mystery thriller with lots of suspense.
