The Sleepers Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 38 ratings

“Once you start you just have to know what's going to happen next . . . totally thrilling!” —Goodreads reviewer, five stars

A time bomb is ticking—but what if that time bomb is you? A chilling novel of intrigue, terror, and one man and woman in a race against the clock . . .

Sylvie is running. Running from the memories of a terror attack in London she experienced as a child, a catastrophic event in which her brother died. Running from her abusive boyfriend. And running from a warning, given to her on a station platform in Nantes: Someone is trying to kill her.

Corran isn’t really Corran. He’s working deep undercover to infiltrate the political organisation that looks set to win the upcoming British election—a group that doesn’t appear to have existed a few years ago. Corran has been sent to find out who’s behind them and what their true agenda might be.

But he messes up. All he has is a list of names, Sylvie’s included. Only with time does he begin to see the connections. Are those on the list, who were caught up in the London terror attack ten years ago, now being systematically taken out? The hit list will force Corran and Sylvie into a reluctant partnership, and into the centre of a looming threat that could explode at any moment . . .

“Sucks you in from page one and doesn’t let go. Packed with tremendous action.” —Rob Samborn, author of
The Prisoner of Paradise and Painter of the Damned

I didn't want to put this book down when I was reading it. Ironically, I lost a good deal of sleep reading The Sleepers.

KM Kelly's thriller is a riveting, character-driven rollercoaster that sucks you in from page one and doesn't let go. Packed with global consequences, The Sleepers explores human nature and how far we'd go when faced with potential devastation.

If you enjoy fast-paced international thrillers, I highly recommend it!

10 years ago, Sylvie's brother died in a terrorist attack. She doesn't remember much but she does still feel the pain of that day. At the train on her way home, a man gives her a warning: someone is after her and everyone else there that day. This sends Sylvie on a race to save her life. Who is after her? And why?

Corran isn't Corran but that doesn't matter. At least not to him. He has a job to do: infiltrate the campaign headquarters of a candidate whose party didn't exist just a few years ago. He soon finds himself caught up in Sylvie's life. Can he protect her? Should he? Should Sylvie trust him?

The Sleepers was an excellent thriller that really did leave me guessing. K.M. Kelly really knew how to get you thinking one way only to blindside you at the last minute.

I really enjoyed this book!

Thank you, bloodhound books!

This story is coming out April 26, 2022. This is fantastic spring novel for espionage, murder, crime, and travel inside this gem of a book. The first page will grab you will, the killer thoughts of what he or she done or doing. Then you find Sylvie, I enjoyed this character, an taken on the journey with her to find the pieces of what will happen next, why? Who is being murder and why? What do Sylvie have to do with anything? Find out about more characters like Pierre, Lucille, Corran, Jean-Claude, Yvonne, and Eva and others. This here novel will answer the questions, how? what? why? when? where? And so much more. I enjoyed every part of this book, and the traveling. The thrill and the spying of who can you trust, and why, all the murders. This author book is fantastic. I will be reading more book from author K. M. Kelly..

This is not my first book by this author but it is just as great if not greater than the previous books I read. This is a suspenseful story that has twists and turns that left me sitting on the edge of my seat. It is a story of a race against time. An unlikely partnership and a hit list that puts things in a center place problem race against time. You dont want to miss what happens next. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into the story. They are connectable and kept the story engaging and entertaining. I enjoyed the growth of the plot as well as watching the growth of the characters. This is a great story that I found to be fast paced and easy to read. I highly recommend this book.

I have to say that this book hooked me from the very first page. A story full of intrigue and suspense. You get to live the story through the different eyes of the multiple characters. And while this can sometimes be confusing keeping up with the different vantage points, the author weaves a story so carefully and beautifully that it is easy to follow and you won’t want to put it down. One gets invested in the outcome, and to be honest….I didn’t have this one figured out til very near the end.

I can highly recommend this book. It is suspenseful, intriguing, and the author can make you feel like you are right there with each character; but of course, “I was never there”!

Sylvie and Curran become the main characters in this thrilling story. Sylvie is on a list of people to be assassinated. I found the plot very good and it revolves around why Sylvie is on this list what she did to get on that. I found this characters to be very good and and what causes the characters to switch their personalities your wildest story. I received this book as an ARC and my opinions are my own. I recommend this book for all thriller readers.
