Review: Out of Time (Nine Minutes #2) by Beth Flynn

*****5 Stars*****
 
 
This is book #2 in the Nine Minutes series and you really must read book #1 first.
If you've already read it, you'll have been taken on the rollercoaster ride that is Grizz and met Kit and Grunt and all the loveable characters surrounding them.
Book #2 fills in all the blanks, answers all the questions and gives an insight into how these characters became the way they are.
This book jumps around a lot...in terms of both time and who the story is being told by and although this should be confusing (and something I normally dislike) it really works!
This was much more of an emotional book for me, compared to the first. Don't get me wrong, I loved book #1 but book #2 just took things to another level.
There are lots of twists and turns and I'm not ashamed to admit that I may have shed a few tears.
It's well written and draws you in immediately and I couldn't help loving even the toughest of characters.
So much is revealed but there are also lots of questions left unanswered along with lots of new characters and I'm hoping that this means I won't be left waiting long for book #3. I need more!

They thought with his execution it would all be over.
They were wrong.

The leader of one of South Florida’s most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs has been put to death by lethal injection. Days later, his family and friends should have been picking up the pieces, moving on. Instead, they’ve been catapulted into a world so twisted and dangerous even the most ruthless among them would be stunned to discover the tangled web of deception, not only on the dangerous streets of South Florida but all the way to the top.

In this gripping follow-up novel to Nine Minutes, Out of Time takes readers from the sun-drenched flatlands of 1950s Central Florida to the vivid tropical heat of Fort Lauderdale to the halls of Florida’s Death Row as we finally learn the gritty backstory of Jason “Grizz” Talbot, the terrifying leader of Satan’s Army motorcycle gang, and the secret he spent his life trying to conceal.

Not even Grizz’s inner circle knows his full story—the tragedy that enveloped his early life, the surprise discovery that made him the government’s most wanted and most feared, and the depths of his love for Ginny, the tenderhearted innocent he’d once abducted and later made his wife.

Once Grizz’s obsession and now the mother of his child, Ginny has spent years grieving the man she’d first resisted and then came to love. Now remarried to Tommy, a former member of the gang, the pair have spent more than a decade trying desperately to live a normal existence far from the violent, crime-ridden world they’d once carved out on the edge of the Florida Everglades. For Tommy, especially, the stakes are high. Desperately in love with Ginny for years, he’s finally living his dream: married to the woman he never thought he could have. But even with the façade of normalcy—thriving careers, two beautiful children, and a genuinely happy and loving marriage—they can’t seem to put the past behind them. Every time they turn around, another secret is revealed, unraveling the very bonds that hold them together.

And with Grizz finally put to death, now Ginny has learned secrets so dark, so evil she’s not even sure she can go on.

Will these secrets tear their love to pieces? And how far will Grizz go to protect what he still considers his, even from beyond the grave?
