Lockdown

The second book in Traci Hunter Abramson's Saint Squad series. This book could either be read alone or you could read it in order. Lockdown is a fast paced novel that follows Riley Palmetta, a survivor of the Virginia Tech Massacre.

After that horrible day that countinues to haunt her, Riley is assigned to work with a team of Navy SEALS to try and prevent something like the massacre from ever happening again. This means creating a week long conference in which law enforcement officers are taught what to do in a hostage situation.

It is through this team of Navy SEALS that Riley meets Tristan Crowther, a SEAL who's dealing with his own share of problems. Mainly his mother, the general, who abandoned him during his childhood.

The two start a tentative relationship that quickly becomes much more serious as they're thrust into situations of peril and danger. What started as a simple week of training local law enforcement, uncovers deadly plots that are taking place around them.

Traci Hunter Abramson is an amazing author that manages to pull you into the emotions and personalities of the characters. They all become real and exciting to you.

The story was based on a true event and at times it was scary and kind of disturbing to listen to what happened and to see how people could influence you. It was also kind of disturbing at times as they discussed the motivations behind how people reach a point in which they can do horrible things to others.

Overall it was a great book and I deffinately plan to read the other books that Traci Hunter Abramson comes out with. I look forward to reading more about the Saint Squad.
