A stalker who wants to finish what he started. A US Marshal who's vowed to protect his charge. And one woman who is determined to put the past in the past. Flight paramedic Raina Price has been running so long it's hard to stop. To escape a dangerous stalker, she changed her name and disappeared, building a new life with the help of a friend from her time in juvie. It feels good to put her energies into saving people's lives, but because her stalker was never found, she's never stopped looking over her shoulder. And one can only run so far before the past finally catches up. US Marshal Vincent Corelli's job is to hunt down fugitives and protect those who are assigned to him. When Raina is almost killed right in front of him, he vows to protect her at all costs--whether it's his job or not. Together they work to solve the mystery of Raina's past. But someone is out to make sure Raina doesn't live long enough to do it. Countdown is the breathless conclusion to USA Today bestselling author Lynette Eason's thrilling Extreme Measures series.

Perfectly intense and wonderful conclusion to the series. Well, maybe not long enough, since I read it in less than a day and now I'm waiting for the next Lynette book again. I loved seeing Raina get her happy ending and the race to save an endangered teen boy was very much a nail biter. Normally I can guess the ending of Lynette's books since I've read over 60 of them, but there were some serious twists I didn't see coming in this one. Fun read!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required.
This book was good, if a bit predictable. That's the thing with Eason. Even when some plot points are predictable to me, I still find myself completely hooked and wanting to read more. There's just something about her writing that I absolutely love.
I loved that a flight paramedic was a leading person. It was especially interesting that this character was hiding from a stalker yet needing to help someone related to the guy. What a twist!
I liked the U.S. Marshal character, but I was so sucked in by him that I forgot to take notes of why I liked him. Let's assume it was his chivalrous traits, as that seems to be pretty regular for Eason's heroes.
The lake scene was one of my favorites. Action, surprises, and near hypothermia... What's not to love?
The big “shocker” I saw coming from the very first hint about it.
I disagree that smart TVs are “awesome.” In reality, they are spy machines that track the daily activities of U.S. citizens without permission. No thank you!
Do officers really chat (as in, small-talk) while clearing a house? I found this strange.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book.
