Dangerous Games (O’Connor & Kincaid #1) by Tess Diamond

A thirteen year-old girl has been taken - and Special Agent Maggie Kincaid is the only one who can get her back.
When a Senator’s daughter goes missing, every minute counts. The FBI’s best hostage negotiator, Agent Kincaid, knows what it’s like to be a terrified victim. Kidnapped as a child, those memories haunt her every day - and give her an insight into the evil mind behind this deadly crime.
But the Senator’s family has other plans, and have brought in ex-forces security expert Jake O’Connor to oversee negotiations. He’s got secrets of his own, and doesn’t play by the same rule book. With time running out, Maggie and O’Connor will have to overcome their differences to keep this case from ending in tragedy.

Review: I was given an ARC of Dangerous Games from the author for an honest review and this is my review.
Dangerous Games is one of those books that grabs the reader from the start and does not let go until the end. Now with the cliff hanger that the reader was left with this book I usually knock off points but the next book is due out in two weeks so I am not going to hold the suspenseful ending against this author because this is an excellent book and now I can't wait for book two to see what happens next.
I loved Maggie the damaged former FBI negotiator with a lot of baggage who was not sure if she still has what it takes to the job anymore. And Jake the former military guy and now consultant to the higher ups in DC is an interesting guy who adds a little spice to Maggie's well ordered operations. The chemistry between those two is also a very interesting element to the book.
I enjoyed the plot about Kayla's kidnapping and how she is portrayed as a resilient teen. Her father, the Senator, on the other hand is a jerk. I am not going to go further into the plot due to spoilers but I am going to say, read it.
I am giving this new author and her new book, Dangerous Games five out of five stars.
