A #1 New York Times bestselling author and an Edgar Award winner team up to deliver this gripping new novel featuring investigator Kendra Michaels–whose observational skills are worthy of a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. Delilah Winter is one of the hottest pop stars on the planet, so how in the world was she kidnapped right in the middle of a show at the famous Hollywood Bowl? If anyone can … famous Hollywood Bowl? If anyone can figure it out, it’s Dr. Kendra Michaels, who works with local and federal authorities on only the most impossible cases. Blind for the first twenty years of her life until a revolutionary surgical procedure allowed her to regain her sight, Kendra uses her powers of observation–honed during her years in the dark–to detect what other investigators don’t. She agrees to lead the race to rescue the young singer before time runs out.
Joined by Jessie Mercado, the singer’s former bodyguard and a military hero, Kendra closes in on the hideout location but not before casualties mount up. Desperate for leads, Kendra must set aside her personal feelings when agent-for-hire Adam Lynch also volunteers his special skills to aid in the search.
But as the abductor’s true purpose becomes clear, the trio uncover a plot they never could have imagined–leading to a showdown they won’t soon forget.
The team of Iris and Roy Johansen has put out another exciting thrill ride full of twists and turns with loads of action and dynamic characters like Kendra Michaels one of my fave johansen characters And bad ass tough as nails Jessie Mercado private eye is back too! When Dee winter is kidnapped at her concert it will take Kendra and Jessie combining forces to save this superstar and with a little help from mercenary and all around get it done guy lynch the bad guys are on the run. I never get tired of this writing team. Johansen and her son Roy know how to write a great storyline and with a steady pace they turn out one hell of a book! Even though this is a Kendra Michaels series book and she does her thing, its about Dee and jessie’s friendship and the bond between these two women. I have loved Iris johansen for many years and she is one of my favorite romantic suspense writers of all time! And the addition of Roy has made him a favorite of mine as well. Until next time Luv’s
A very absorbing Kendra Michaels thriller with plenty of surprises, a twist you won’t see coming and also remind you a little bit of the Mel Gibson movie Ransom.
You can’t go wrong with this series. Love these characters and the plot. I like the relationship between Kendra and Adam and hope it continues. Looking forward to reading more in this series.
Action packed and suspenseful.
However, I found a few discrepancies in the story. Need proofreaders for consistency.
This is book 8 in the Kendra Michaels series, but the first book I read! I did not feel lost while reading this one. And after reading this one, I definitely want to read more in the series!! This was a fun cat and mouse chase between investigator Kenda Michaels. She works with the feds and local authorities on the hardest cases because she’s just THAT good! When Delilah Winters, one of the world’s hottest pop stars is kidnapped right from a show, Kendra’s skills are put to the test!
Wow, this was so good and had plenty of twists along the way. I had no clues as to who the kidnapper was. A fast moving, suspenseful book and I totally enjoyed every second! Highly recommend!!
Iris Johansen always hits it out of the park with her stories and this latest installment in the Kendra Michaels series. Great action, friendship and love all tie in together!
I love all Kendra Michaels books. The end, period, forever. Add in Lynch and Jessie and I am completely hooked. This book was one wild ride, especially since the person missing was near and dear to Kendra and Jessie’s hearts. All the stars and I can’t wait to see what happens between Kendra and Lynch next!!
I had a hard time with this one. Some of the plot points were just a little too far out there for my taste, including the high speed limo chase. The characters never drew me in enough to suspend my disbelief.
I usually enjoy Ms Johansson ‘s stories however, her “strong female who doesn’t need a male to rescue her” formula is wearing thin. I mean three women who are exactly the same and have the same mind set? Yes being a strong, independent woman is great but everyone needs love and affection. Women can be strong and warm and admit to desire and need.
Blink of an Eye by Iris and Roy Johansen was an excellent addition to the Kendra Michaels series. I really enjoyed how Kendra got to work with her friend Jessica so closely as they raced to save a famous rock artist who was kidnapped from one of her shows. I also loved that her and Lynch’s relationship is changing in each book.
The storyline in this book was well written and even though I had a small inkling of who the kidnapper was I enjoyed finding out why they did what they did and how Kendra and Lynch were going to save the day.
Blink of an Eye gets five out of five stars from me.
Incredible. I loved this mystery. Danger, love, crazies… it kept my blood pumping and I couldn’t put it down!
This book is the recent installment (8th) of the Kendra Michaels series. I have not read any of the previous books but after this one, I will. It took a few chapters to get to know the main characters.
The women characters are all strong and opinionated women. This is unusual in most books I have read. Kendra Michaels is an asset in solving this action thriller. She uses her special gifts to catch the “bad” guy.
I enjoyed the book. It was a page turner in the last few chapters. I kept my light on way longer than I planned as I wanted to finish. I was surprised at the end.
I recommend you pick this up and enjoy an evening of suspense.
I received this copy of the book free from Grand Central Publishing.
Tight, propulsive, and sinister!
Blink of an Eye is an ominous, charged, pacey thriller that sees FBI consultant Kendra Michaels teaming up with her friend and former security advisor, Jessie Mercado, along with DOJ Special Agent Adam Lynch to investigate and hopefully negotiate the safe return of famous popstar, Deliah Winter after she is ruthlessly kidnapped during a live performance at the Hollywood Bowl.
The writing is meticulous and crisp. The characters are multilayered, talented, and resourceful. And the plot is a compelling web of clues, deduction, lies, obsession, manipulation, violence, and murder.
Overall, Blink of an Eye is another action-packed, suspenseful, fast-paced addition to the Kendra Michaels series by Johansen and Johansen that has just the right amount of mystery, intensity, and intrigue to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish and leave fans of the series more than satisfied.
