Book Review: Flatline By Linda Bond #EntangledPublishing #NetGalley #MustReadBook



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. 








Author Linda Bond works as a television news reporter and anchor in Florida. For the past twenty years she's been sharing important information with viewers on the latest medical breakthroughs and writing emotional, human-interest stories on those who have the courage and spirit to fight for their lives. 

She's been writing every day, under deadline, but has always loved losing herself in a good fiction story. Her love for writing fiction actually started in high school, but a thriving, busy professional life, along with five kids kept her busy for many years. 

Entangled Publishing released two romantic adventures, Alive at 5 and Cuba Undercover. Think James Bond meets Romancing the Stone. She has received numerous writing awards for Alive at 5 and Cuba Undercover. Her latest book, Flatline, is a medical thriller.

She has also won 12 Emmy awards, numerous Society of Professional Journalist awards, Associated Press awards, as well as a Florida Bar award and an Edward R. Murrow award. 


This former baton-twirling beauty queen from the deep south, now lives in Tampa Florida with her husband, adopted son from Cuba, two daughters, and two stubborn Bulldogs named Sanford and Athens.





Flatline By Linda Bond
Review by Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 
read. She started with those great First, I want to thank Linda Bond, Entangled PublistGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

WOW!! Linda Bond’s Flatline blew me away as it was a storyline ripped from the headlines. Infact, at first it reminded me of what is going on in the world today. 

Warning you right now once you pick up Flatline you won’t want to put it down! This is a must read medical thriller! Linda sucked me in on the first page. The storyline was incredibly fast paced and very detailed. It was thrilling, suspenseful, and had some shocking moments I didn’t see coming. 

I loved the storyline of the Doctor and Rachel. Their backstory was interesting to how far it came in the present. 

There was a mention of Grey’s Anatomy (one of my favorite shows) that I had a chuckle over. 


Linda Bond loves to read. She started with those great Nancy Drew books. Remember NancyF Drew and 'The Secret of the Old Clock?"  How about 'The Mystery of the 99 Steps?'  She really liked smart,
. Remember Nancy Dr liked smart, gutsy heroines, even at a young age. In high school, Linda discovered historical romances by authors like the great
"Let her read," Linda's teacher responded.  And, so she did.

Harold Robbins and Jackie Collins took Linda out of her high school hallways and into the glamorous Hollywood Hills.

John Grisham, James Patterson, and Harlen Coben can still keep Linda up all night. Turning pages, ladies, turning pages.  

Linda lives for a good romantic thriller. Which is probably why she's a reporter.  She's addicted to the rush of adrenaline that comes with finding and crafting a great story.

Each day Linda writes about someone's unique life.  In Linda's world, 400 words must carry the weight of 400 pages. Linda writes a dreaded synopsis every single day- under deadline.

Now, Linda is retraining herself to do just the opposite.  She's punching up her pages with powerful passages. With each new chapter, Linda smiles, because she loves to tell a story.

It's really as simple as that.

The best way to really know Linda Bond is to read what she writes.  That's where the real fun begins.
