Everything To Lose is actually part of a wider book series I believe, and I’m saddened that I’m only just joining the series! The Lambeth Group books follow the secret government investigations of agent Zoe Tampsin; a strong female protagonist with courage, determination, and guile. If the other six books in the series are as action-packed as this one, we are in for a treat.

Lambeth Group is a secret department of the British government with the responsibility of protecting the country. Agent Zoe Tampsin is everything you want from a strong female protagonist; resourceful, brave and tough. She is tasked with the job to look after scientist, Gavin Shawlens, who whilst battling his own grief, is investigating a performance-enhanced drug which seems unbelievably too good. Shawlens is also strongly disliked by some powerful and dangerous people, who will not stop until he is dead. That is where our girl, Zoe comes to the rescue.

What I loved about this book is the character dynamic. Shawlens is the fact and figures guy; analysing everything down to a T. Zoe on the other hand, has the skills but she doesn’t have Shawlens brains. She needs his expertise in this arena to complete her mission, and for two charismatic characters, they complement each other very well (obviously not without some bumps in the road at first, of course!)

This book has everything you need from an action-packed novel, and then more! Credit to the author for creating a story that is filled to the brim with exhilarating and edge-of-your-seat action. If anything, this book has made me want to go and read the other books in the series, to see what other missions Zoe Tampsin can complete!
