They thought with his execution it would all be over.
They were wrong.
The leader of one of South Florida’s most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs has been put to death by lethal injection. Days later, his family and friends should have been picking up the pieces, moving on. Instead, they’ve been catapulted into a world so twisted and dangerous even the most ruthless among them would be stunned to discover the tangled web of deception, not only on the dangerous streets of South Florida but all the way to the top.
In this gripping follow-up novel to Nine Minutes, Out of Time takes readers from the sun-drenched flatlands of 1950s Central Florida to the vivid tropical heat of Fort Lauderdale to the halls of Florida’s Death Row as we finally learn the gritty backstory of Jason “Grizz” Talbot, the terrifying leader of Satan’s Army motorcycle gang, and the secret he spent his life trying to conceal.
Not even Grizz’s inner circle knows his full story—the tragedy that enveloped his early life, the surprise discovery that made him the government’s most wanted and most feared, and the depths of his love for Ginny, the tenderhearted innocent he’d once abducted and later made his wife.
Once Grizz’s obsession and now the mother of his child, Ginny has spent years grieving the man she’d first resisted and then came to love. Now remarried to Tommy, a former member of the gang, the pair have spent more than a decade trying desperately to live a normal existence far from the violent, crime-ridden world they’d once carved out on the edge of the Florida Everglades. For Tommy, especially, the stakes are high. Desperately in love with Ginny for years, he’s finally living his dream: married to the woman he never thought he could have. But even with the façade of normalcy—thriving careers, two beautiful children, and a genuinely happy and loving marriage—they can’t seem to put the past behind them. Every time they turn around, another secret is revealed, unraveling the very bonds that hold them together.
And with Grizz finally put to death, now Ginny has learned secrets so dark, so evil she’s not even sure she can go on.
Will these secrets tear their love to pieces? And how far will Grizz go to protect what he still considers his, even from beyond the grave?

"As the old saying goes, life goes on. Time heals."
WOW, just wow!
Beth Flynn is a master at weaving an intricate tale. I am in awe of her talent!
At the end of Nine Minutes I was left with my mouth hanging open. Not only was that one hell of a ride, but I was left with so many questions and plenty of WTFs rolling around in my head!
"So many secrets, so many."
Out of Time shed light on all of it.
Frankly, it's like two books in one. It's an in depth look, recap if you will, of Nine Minutes, with so much more detail and insight.
Into the whys and hows.
Into the whys and hows.
And at the same time, it's Tommy and Ginny's life after Grizz's execution. Life after Tommy's betrayal.
"Her love for Grizz made her compromise her values. Who had she been back then? Who was she now?"
The story goes from past to present many times. Not only do we get to delve deeper into the past that we already know about from NM, but we're given the gift of both Grunt and Grizz's childhoods.
And oh my god will you need tissues!!!
Heartbreaking!
Heartbreaking!
I cried so many times while reading. So many emotions.
Love and loss, regret and hurt.
The story jumps around a lot and is filled with twist after twist.
What you think you know, you don't.
There were moments I was so angry. You already know about all the crying, and then there were moments of joy.
I'll have to be honest and say one thing in particular kind of left me saying
"say what now?" but that's just me and it didn't take away from the story.
It's hard not to want to say more. There's SO much I want to talk about, but that would ruin the story for others.
It was amazing and brilliant.
Are questions answered? Yes.
Are there more questions to be answered now? Definitely!
Was I left the same way as with book 1, with my mouth hanging open and a wtf? rolling off my tongue?
Abso-fucking-lutely!
And I loved every single minute of it!!
