Split Seconds
by Maggie Thom
Twins separated as toddlers, reunited as adults… and now they’re switching places in a dangerous game to take on organized crime.
Her sister is alive! Excited to discover her twin didn’t die as a toddler, Tijan can’t wait to meet her other half. But why hasn’t her only sibling reached out in almost thirty years?
Although the reunion is joyous, not everyone is excited to discover there are two of them. Using it to her advantage, Tijan is determined to take down the one man responsible for it all… her father.
August is in search of his father. He was a war vet that one day walked out on his family, over twenty years before. In searching for him, August takes a job as a mechanic at the Caspian Winery. He soon finds himself pulled into a web of deceit. One that could get him killed.
The secrets and lies that have kept the two apart, soon unravel but with deadly consequences.
“… a fast-paced read that has both suspense and mystery, as well as a bit of romance… I liked how the book opened with a pivotal scene (as I later found out)… Oooooh and the ending! I was like wowa – and then wowa again – as there are several twists and turns. The puzzle pieces come together but not as I expected.

I loved it, yet again. I feel like I'm developing that reader relationship with the characters that breeds a sense of a familiarity that builds a bond and an invested interest as to what is happening in their lives. I love the complexity Maggie weaves into the web of her story adding layers that keeps the reader guessing, holding their interest and that satisfying relief when you finally find out what's really going on!
Maggie Thom has taken that bond and created a tale of suspense and danger, of discovery, redemption and love. She has done so with the precision of a surgeon, from the very first page to the very last word. Feel the desperation of the beginning turn into the determination of two sisters to take back the bond that was stolen and to uncover more than one plot tainted with the stench of corporate espionage and mob-like greed.
“Split Seconds” continues the series in a highly suspenseful rush of adrenalin. For lovers of suspense thrillers don’t miss this latest light romantic mystery involving danger and intrigue.
...Will the adventure bring the sisters back together? Why did her father never come back for Tijan? Nothing is ever simple where their father is concerned but just how dangerous is he? A brilliant read from Maggie Thoms it's the first of her books I've read I loved it have already bought 2 others.
The story of the twins separated at birth was emotionally compelling! She was wonderfully creative in her character development, which added fun to the mystery. It’s a great read for any age.
