Sarah is a thriving college professor, working under an abusive superior. Her very future is threatened when she is forced to "submit" to his whims. 29 Seconds is the story of how Sarah responds to the abuse. The book is emotional - I had trouble putting it down, and when I did, the story kept me "bothered" - a great short term stressor!

I loved the book until the end. I kind of felt like Logan "cheated" the reader with presenting what appeared to happen, then explaining what actually happened. Also, I liked the Sarah I got to know in the first part of the book, and I didn't think it was in her character to respond to the problem by choosing the option that she chose.

I was hooked from the start! Read it in a littler over a day; that's how interesting and captivating the story is. With her life crashing all around her as well as fighting a no win battle in her professional life, Sarah gives into a tempting offer to fix her problem. However, it does not go as planned and thus begins the twists and turns of Sarah figuring out how to survive it and find her way out of the situation. The ending was clever and unexpected which made it a very satisfying conclusion. Loved the book!

What a great way to get the revenge so rightly deserved. A very good read and a real pageturner from the off

If someone told you they could make a person just disappear and all you had to do was give them one name, would you? Sarah has to ask herself this very question after saving a young girl from being kidnapped, causing the girl's father to feel he is indebted to Sarah.

Sarah instantly knows whose name she would give- her boss. He's a condescending sexual predator who will only promote Sarah if she sleeps with him. But could she really control someone's fate so easily? She is raising two kids on her own while her husband is off with another woman and she really needs her job, but at what price? Could she handle the repercussions from the aftermath of giving up the name of her boss to be rid of him?

This was such a unique and thought out story that kept me on the edge of my seat. I really appreciated how the author chose to end the book in a way that highlighted how strong and brave of a woman Sarah is!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for my copy of this book!

Very well written thriller. Hooks you from the first page and ends with an even bigger twist I never saw coming. Loved this one!
Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This newest book by T.M Logan was very good! I loved "Lies" and this didn't disappoint either! The characters were well developed and I was really rooting for our main character, even though I felt so sorry for her most of the time. Two kids to raise alone, separated from husband, being sexually harassed at work.... So glad he got his karma at the end! Very good book!

29 Seconds hooked me right from the start. Hawthorne is such a lech - and the writing was so expressive it made my skin crawl to think of him.
This book is one that puts the reader in situations that makes you feel a little uneasy - and to really cheer for Sarah, the young mom and professor working so hard.
Sarah is a smart, strong female lead that you can’t help but want her to come out of this unscathed.
I was a bit unsure of why the book needed to be separated into three parts - it didn’t seem necessary to me. It could have been separated only by time and achieved the same effect. Otherwise, a fun read that I would recommend!

This book was a clever story with an even more clever twist....I enjoyed the heart pounding scenes that had me on the edge of my seat...

Very intriguing premise. You think the story goes in one direction and then does a 180. Great twists that I did not see coming. I will say at times the dialogue was repetitive and I did not care for the few political comments but overall very well done and I enjoyed it. Thank you publisher and netgalley for this arc in exchange of an honest review.

The story kept you guessing. Just when you were sure you knew, the next twist would change everything. Nice to see good interaction between family members.

Who is worse, the agressor or the revenge taker? These are the opposing sides the author brings to us with a good deed, a willing benefactor and what is right or wrong. Professor Alan and Sarah play your protagonists here and the Russian mafia makes an appearance. All in "29 Seconds". Good read.

It was good even if my copy was free from NETGALLEY

I struggled to be drawn into this novel. I love the idea, and the story was interesting, but it felt lacking in subject; I had no real drive to keep me interested. I kept on, simply because I wanted to see what would happen- and I was completely surprised by the end! The first half of the book felt lighthearted and slightly unconvincing, the characters just placeholders instead of story movers.

I enjoyed the twists and surprises at the end, as well as the secrets not drawn out during the excitement, but explained afterward. I also enjoyed the way this novel approached the topics of over righteous men and the power they attempt to convey toward their womanly counterparts. Alan Hawthorne has the most convincing character development, and I hate him (which is a good thing LOL)

The end of this novel will definitely stick around! I can’t wait to share it when it comes out!

Wow! I just really liked this book so much that i read the whole book in a day which i rarely do! It was very suspenseful and I just couldn't put it down until I finished. Don't start this book on a day you have lots to do because you most likely won't get anything done. I loved Lies by T.M. Logan and I also love this book. This is one of my new favorite authors. I loved the protagonist Sarah and felt very sympathetic to what she was dealing with. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a timely subject. I love the catchy name of the title - 29 seconds - I loved how it fit into the storyline. 5 stars!!! I would like to thank St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book for my honest review.

This was a quicker read than I'd thought it would be. It was more or less enjoyable but I didn't find it overly interesting or intriguing and not really what I thought it would be. The main villain in the book was kind of over the top in his evilness in a way that I didn't find overly realistic. Like more of a caricature of the same kind of asshole you would find in real life.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to.

Sarah, you definitely fooled me. Sarah is the main character in this second outing by T.M. Logan. Clever girl that Sarah. The book had a strong opening with Sarah saving an important man's little girl from danger -that same important man gives Sarah the chance to off someone-anyone. Anyway, then the plot dragged a bit up until the last quarter of the book where I felt that I had expected too much of this story and I would end up disappointed in the ending. But, POW, then the last bits --and it winds up being more than satisfactory. T.M. Logan draws you in to Sarah's tale. She is basically on her own with her two small children as her idiot actor husband has left her to be with another woman. Thank goodness she has her Dad and a good friend Laura to help when she needs it. Unfortunately, she has a job at the university where she is at the mercy of Prof. Alan Lawson and as the tale unfolds you will definitely begin to loathe that creep. I definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys suspense.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for a chance to read and review.

Give me one name. One person. And I will make them disappear forever.
The temptation appalls and intrigues Sarah. Because the name that comes to mind is the name of the boss who has been making her life a living hell.
Will she take the “easy” way out, or can she find another way to escape the clutches of her harasser.?
What would you do in her place? Would you sell your soul to the devil? And what cost would you pay if you did?

Wow. This was an intense novel. Sarah is being sexually harassed at work. The harasser has gotten away with this for years with other women. After saving a child from kidnapping, the child’s father offers her a deal. One name and one 29 second phone call and her problem is gone. Will Sarah make that call?
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Would you make that call? Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

thank you St. Martins Press for an advanced copy of 29 Seconds by T.M. Logan. This book is available on September 10 2019.

This is the second book I've read by T.M. Logan and like Lies, this one is excellent too.
I couldn't put it down and the pages turned so easily. This book has well developed characters, awesome plot, unpredictable, twisty, entertaining, and a page turner. You could easily read it in one setting.

What would you do if you had one wish and it could come true. Sarah had 72 hours to think about it and it only took 29 seconds to make it happen. This book is about sexual harassment and one big decision. What does she pick?

29 Seconds refers to the length of a phone call which is central to the plot of the novel. Unfortunately, said phone call does not take place until nearly midway, so unless you read the book summary the title is ambiguous. The first part of 29 Seconds deals with college professor Sarah and her sexual predator boss, with Sarah gamely trying to avoid his advances without compromising the tenured position she is in line for. These chapters are tense and disturbing on their own- and then things get really unpleasant. In a moment of desperation Sarah makes the call that would eliminate her problem, and the rest of the story deals with the myriad of possible outcomes to this act. Torn between wanting to secure a stable future for her two children-Sarah's husband Nick is out of the picture while he "finds himself" in the arms of another woman- and recognizing two wrongs don't make a right, 29 Seconds is as much a treatise on morality and responsibility as it is a suspenseful thriller. A few things don't add up-although the mysterious figure at the other end of line promises to "make someone disappear without a trace," the reality is almost comical in its execution; and while sexual harassment in the workplace is often dismissed as "boys being boys," Professor Hawthorne is so arrogantly boastful in his mistreatment of women it seems impossible such behavior would have been swept under the rug as it is here. But 29 Seconds is a quick read with short chapters and a steady pace. T. M. Logan's debut novel Lies was a commercial success in both the US and his native England, where 29 Seconds has already been published. Readers on this side of the pond will have to wait until September to decide for themselves if they could have made that fateful call.
