**Today we have the blog tour for Flatline by Linda Bond! Check out my review and be sure to grab your copy today!!**

People are dying in Dr. Joshua Salvador’s ER. His medical assistant, only weeks from delivering her baby, hangs on to life by a thread. The symptoms seem horrifyingly familiar, and he begins to suspect the deaths are targeted at him. But, before he can figure things out, top TV investigator Rachel Wright is standing in the middle of his ER, convinced an outbreak, an epidemic, or even a botched flu vaccine could be the cause, and she’s going to tell the world.

I can’t remember when I actually read a medical thriller – So I have got to say that the opportunity to review Flatline by Linda Bond came just at the right moment!

Rachel, an investigative journalist, rushes into the ER when her friend and colleague ends up getting sick, sick enough that she ends up dying while she is being treated. A fact that takes her five years back to when she lost her brother suddenly.

And lo and behold, the same man who “failed” to save her brother is also the one standing over her friend’s body as well – Dr. Joshua – the man she was in love with, the man whom she doubted with a ferocity that led her to investigate his group of doctors and as a result, destroyed their relationship.

Now, the guardian of her niece; effectively a single mother, Rachel is a workaholic and her investigative instincts are tingling when she realises that her friend is not the only person to die in mysterious circumstances under Joshua’s care.

A second chance romance; Flatline is a fast paced medical thriller with short chapters that had me flowing through the book (I actually just finished it last night!). It is easy to empathize with Dr. Joshua; especially under the current circumstances of a pandemic – so it really close to home, the kind of pressure Health Professionals can come under and how it can seem like a thankless job at times! (If you want to read more, check out @sassyshaina’s review!)

This was a second chance romance; two highly ambitious professionals in love with each other; but circumstances and their own grief and perception leads to the destruction of a relationship neither of them has moved on from – I could have used a high level of angst in the plotline, it had the ripe foundation for it (pretty much the only time, I could have used the open communication between the protagonists to lead to a whole lot more emotional sustenance!) – but this was medical thriller that I was thoroughly entertained by for the time I was reading, so it a must recommend for those who really enjoy their thrillers with a unique sub – genre!
