They were meant to be traveling away from danger...
The Doctor Con O'Brien returned to Ireland to help solve a medical mystery that could destroy his brother's life. He brought along his new girlfriend, Neve, to introduce her to his family and the country he calls home—and to put an ocean between her and the dangers still lurking in Washington, DC.
The Therapist Neve Keane is convinced that the key to curing a baffling illness lies with an elusive video game designer in Galway. But getting his help means overcoming bad blood and broken hearts—and so far, he won’t answer his phone.
The Leader When you've gained the favor of an ancient god, nothing and no one can stop you from getting what you want—even if you demand the ultimate sacrifice.
In their race to uncover sinister secrets, Con and Neve get trapped with their backs against the wall, and the water is rising. Now they must find a way to save themselves, rescue innocent victims, and stop a deadly evil in its tracks—all before sunrise tomorrow.

my review
Dead Keen is the second book in the Things Unseen series, and equally as engrossing! I adored the first book, and I couldn’t wait to get this one. I wasn’t disappointed! Both books are a lovely blend of thriller elements, culty vibes, burgeoning romance, and suspense.
This installment had all those aspects, wrapped in an intriguing cloak of both ancient gods and techy video games. It was an unexpected combination that really worked. It made for a story that was gripping and thoroughly unpredictable! And threaded through all of it is a bit of romance and humor. The characters are so smart, and the story is complex and delicious! A perfect book to lose yourself in!
