What a thrilling exciting listen that keeps you on the edge
of your seat. If you are looking for an audio that is fast moving, with action,
suspense, mystery and romance you have come to the right place. This was so
good I was so hooked from start to finish that I bought the first audio in this
series and can’t wait for the next one to come out.
I thought the narrator did a really great job with the
characters. There are some places when she paused that she should not
have. A few places where she paused that
maybe the next words should have been said before the pause. It did take me a little
while to get use to her narration but once I did I was hooked. Her character
voices are great both her male and female was given the correct amount of
emotion to what they were going through.
There are no background noises, no volume change just a very clean steady
audio that become a part of your mind. No repeating of words which is a big
issue for me, if any breaks were taken I could not tell. I had no trouble
knowing what character was talking or what they were feeling. The only problem
I see is the narrator needs to work on when she pauses beside that it was an
outstanding job. I would defiantly listen to more of her work. I thought she
really bought the characters to life making it a very pleasant listen.
There are many twists and turns, you get to see both side of
the story which really adds to the plot. There are a few heart stopping moments
that you are unsure which way the author will take the story. I honestly didn’t
not care for Jake’s boss and he outlook on Jake’s secret, he really started out
as a very nice man but really turned into well an a** very fast. He will lose a
lot of good men if he doesn’t clean up his act. I loved Jake he really is a man
of honor, his father at first is a little hard to take but he grows on you.
Adam was a dream I loved how protective he was of Jenny. The buildup of the
romance was a delight, I really enjoyed how Adam dealt with it. There are lots
of humor that will make you smile just as many places where you catch your
breath waiting to see the outcome. It is a highly entertaining listen that
pulls the reader in holding you on the edge. The romance is wonderful I just
loved how they loved each other from afar for so long with neither knowing how
the other felt. I liked how it all came together. The obsessed is crazy
lord the things this man thinks of will just turn your stomach. He is totally
nuts wanting the women who he believes is his true love and the revenge he
thinks is his due for the justice he thinks he deserves. You just have to love a psycho, that is as long as it is in a story and not
real life.
Bottom line this is a great story from
start to finish that holds the listener spellbound waiting for the nut case to
come out. There is a fine line between right and wrong but if you are like me
when it comes to the people you love trying to keep them safe you will cross
that line every time. I can see this
series going in a lot of different direction all with a great outcome as some
leave the law enforcement getting away from the ties of the law when the law doesn’t
work. I really can’t wait to see what the author will do with the next book. I
really wish it was out now. I honestly did not want the story to end. It isn’t
a cliffhanger but does leave a few loose ends where the next book will take
off.
