I retired from the Army Special Forces, purchased a bucolic little Upstate farm, and intended to spend my winter years restoring the ancient house, away from people. It wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be, but it was too late to change course now. When I got a call from an old colleague, everything changed. A favor was owed. A wounded agent needed a place to lie low and hide out from the criminal organization that was hard on their heels.

Audiobook Review: Four Calling Birds
Revisado: 10-29-24
Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Storyline Summary:
Retired Special Forces operative and recluse, our unnamed protagonist, isn’t exactly thriving in his “idyllic” new life on an upstate farm. His plan to find peace and purpose away from it all is shattered when a wounded operative—none other than his ex-wife—arrives on his doorstep, bringing with her a cascade of old wounds and the danger of a crime syndicate hot on her heels. This is a suspenseful, complex story of loyalty, betrayal, and survival, set against the snowy isolation of winter countryside.
What I Loved About the Story:
The story is immersive, blending high-stakes action with an intimate look at the characters’ emotional scars and the impact of their shared history. The tension between the protagonist and his ex-wife adds a layered vulnerability amid the thriller elements, giving the story a raw, emotional quality I didn’t expect. The author beautifully captures the uneasy truce between two ex-lovers caught up in circumstances that demand both trust and resilience.
Narration & Audio Quality:
Cole Eubanks nails the protagonist’s voice, with a gruffness that feels earned and a steady calm that matches the character’s hardened background. Molly Briar, voicing the ex-wife, delivers a compelling mix of grit and wounded pride, bringing emotional nuance that enhances every scene. Their voices complement each other, adding realism to the estranged dynamic between their characters. Audio quality is top-notch, with seamless production and no noticeable hiccups in pacing.
Pacing & Engagement:
The pacing is taut, pulling you through with just enough downtime to digest the character's pasts and stakes before dropping you back into the action. Key moments are striking without being overwhelming, and I found myself holding my breath in a few especially suspenseful scenes. It's a balanced mix of heart-pounding and thought-provoking.
Audience Recommendation:
Perfect for fans of suspenseful thrillers with military intrigue and messy, complex relationships. If you loved Reacher or The Terminal List, this will likely resonate.
Final Thoughts:
Four Calling Birds is more than just a winter thriller; it’s a gritty, emotional ride with broken characters fighting for redemption as much as survival. The unique, isolated winter farm setting feels like a character itself, amplifying the intensity and vulnerability of the story. A solid start to the Mourningkill series—I’ll definitely be looking out for the next book!

She’s a f--king menace. She has no regard for her safety and dances along the tongue in the mouth of danger. A loose cannon who torments me day in and day out. She thinks I can’t rise to meet her challenge. She thinks I don’t know what goes on in that beautiful head of hers. But she’s sorely mistaken. Mistaken about who exactly she is to me. Mistaken about how much danger she’s in. And mistaken about what I can take.

She was everything I wasn't supposed to want. Young, pretty, a virgin, and my best friend's daughter. When she walked into my office to ask me for a summer internship, I had only one thing on my mind. Watching her stroll into my workplace in an impossibly tiny skirt and too-tight white shirt awakened the beast inside me. I've fought long and hard to keep myself in check, but something about my best friend's little girl has me hot and bothered.

"Working for the Big Bad Wolf" by Olive Spencer is a sizzling, taboo romance that dives headfirst into the forbidden and the scandalous. With a premise that promises tension and heat, this story delivers on both, pulling you into the dangerous dance between a powerful man and the one woman he's not supposed to want—his best friend's daughter.
The story is centered around the "big bad wolf," a successful, dominant man who finds himself irresistibly drawn to his best friend's daughter, who is far too tempting for her own good. The moment she walks into his office, dressed to entice, the stakes are set. What unfolds is a game of cat and mouse, where desire and danger intermingle in every charged interaction.
Olive Spencer masterfully crafts a tale that's as steamy as it is suspenseful. The chemistry between the characters is undeniable, with each encounter leaving you wondering just how long they can resist the inevitable. The "best friend's daughter" trope is handled with a mix of intrigue and intensity, making it impossible to put down.
Dylan Rockwell's narration adds an extra layer of depth to this already compelling story. His voice captures the tension and temptation, bringing the characters and their illicit desires to life. The nuances in his performance make every scene feel palpable, immersing the listener in the heated atmosphere of the story.
While the book is undeniably provocative and will appeal to those who enjoy a good dose of forbidden romance, it’s important to note that it leans heavily into themes of power dynamics and age gaps. If you're comfortable with these elements, "Working for the Big Bad Wolf" is a tantalizing listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Overall, this audiobook is a thrilling ride that explores the darker sides of desire, making it a must-listen for fans of taboo romance. Just be prepared for a story that's as wild as the wolf himself.
