Historia
On a hot August night, Lt. Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke, speed through the streets of Manhattan to the Down and Dirty club, where a joyful, boisterous pre-wedding girls’ night out has turned into a murder scene. One of the brides lies in a pool of blood, garroted in a private room where she was preparing a surprise for her fiancée—two scrimped and saved-for tickets to Hawaii. Despite the dozens of people present, useful witnesses are hard to come by. It all brings back some bad memories for Eve.

Not sure where 5 stars keep coming from. Not her best effort.
Revisado: 09-24-24
This is my all time favorite series. I have reread or relistened numerous times. This book was not a good effort. Too much agenda pushed. Too many people thrown in during interviews very quickly. I lost track. I could have read first 3 chapters and then picked up at 95% for the interrogation and missed nothing. Some favorite side characters get a passing nod. Even interactions with Somerset weren't up to par. I'm going to have to start getting these from library and read, before purchasing moving forward. I have the book and audio for every one in series. Including the novellas. To expensive for what was churned out in this book. It was slow and tedious with lits of rehashing thoughts. These books are normally show. Shows the investigative process, relationship building etc. This book was a bunch of tell. It just fell flat for me in a big way.
Audio 3 stars normally 5. Why does Roarke sound like a consiliatory dweeb who is sometimes from Ireland and why does Eve sound like a 40 yr smoker with a headcold. Susan has her sounding like an older woman in this book.

Historia
Jenna’s parents had finally given in, and there she was, at a New York club with her best friends, watching the legendary band Avenue A, carrying her demo in hopes of slipping it to the guitarist, Jake Kincade. Then, from the stage, Jake catches her eye, and smiles. It’s the best night of her life. It’s the last night of her life. Minutes later, Jake’s in the alley getting some fresh air, and the girl from the dance floor comes stumbling out, sick and confused and deathly pale. He tries to help, but it’s no use. He doesn’t know that someone in the crowd has jabbed her with a needle.

Great addition to the series.
Revisado: 01-28-24
Enjoyed this addition to series. I really like it when the whole crew is involved. The author provided summary covers the basics and I don't want to give spoilers. If you are a fan of the series, you don't want to miss this one.
The narrator, Susan E. is great as usual.

Historia
Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a fact-finding mission. While the League hopes to hold on to secrecy for a little bit longer, they're preparing for the worst in terms of human reactions. They need a plan, so they look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where humans and supernatural residents have been living in harmony for generations.

surprisingly great
Revisado: 02-12-23
I was surprised by this book. Only tried it because it was an Audible Original. Now I downloaded the entire series and can't wait to get to book 2.
The book was interesting, funny, and sweet with great characters. Medium burn romance with some steam toward the end. Lots of different paranormal. They called the magiques/magicks. Not sure how to spell since only listened to audio.
This can be standalone. No cliffhanger. I enjoyed the narrators.

Historia
New York, 2061: The place called the Pleasure Academy is a living nightmare where abducted girls are trapped, trained for a life of abject service while their souls are slowly but surely destroyed. Dorian, a thirteen-year-old runaway who’d been imprisoned there, might never have made it out if not for her fellow inmate Mina, who’d hatched the escape plan. Mina was the more daring of the two—but they’d been equally desperate.

This book was a fantastic add to the series. I enjoyed it more than the previous book, though the storyline is heart wrenching. This book has all the feels and almost all our favorite characters. Highly recommend. Not giving spoilers.

Historia
Grace Isabel MacKenna has a hundred things to do today. Killing someone isn't one of them. It is supposed to be a quick visit to Boston for the Buchanan anniversary party, then on to Scotland to collect an inheritance. She checks into her hotel and then decides to go for a brisk walk. But after getting lost, she ends up with a wounded man stumbling into her arms—and his shooter coming after them both. When she fires back in self-defense, she doesn’t expect him to drop dead.

Grace Under Fire
Revisado: 07-22-22
Enjoyed the book and narrator did a great job, especially with the accents. I was a little frustrated with how little Isabelle fought back against Michael's high-handedness and how wishy washy he was about his feelings. One minute he was hitting in her the next he was ending things. Happened multiple times. No women should put up with that. She was sweet, naive, and beautiful. He is handsome, smart and arrogant. Her driving skills were a source of entertainment throughout the book. I enjoyed the Buchanan group as always. We get a little bit of an update on couples from previous books. Told from multiple POV. Mostly Isabelle and Michael. Could be stand alone. No cliffhanger.

Historia
Charlie Rhodes is struggling. She thought finding her family would fix everything. It hasn’t, and the threat that’s cast a long shadow over her life is only getting larger. Still, when an opportunity arises to go to Savannah—one of her bucket-list cities—she jumps at the chance. Savannah was made famous by ghosts, but five missing women—and the return of only one body—seems to point to a different sort of culprit. Whatever is going on, it’s weird…and it’s only getting weirder.

There is a huge ending in this book. Narrator did great. Enjoyed the storyline and characters. Definitely recommend if you like the Charlie Rhodes storyline. If new, start with book 1.

Historia
Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

slow start, rushed ending but a good book
Revisado: 05-23-22
I enjoyed the book. It's my first in the series. The narrator not only spoke slowly, but the storyline started out slowly, other than opening scene. The opening scene and following one made me follow about 200 pages to many. The book had a LOT of. long stretches of tedious info then explosive exciting scenes. Lots of surprises and curves thrown in as well. Debating on going in order or just skipping around. Definitely trying at least one more.

enjoyed this short in death story. The bad guys aren't all bad and the dead ones are probably better off that way. Eve makes some hard decisions. Fascinating throughout.

Eve and Roarke on very little sleep always makes for tense interactions. This case was interesting from start to finish. I wanted to thump the bad guys. Guess that meant I was invested. Robb always pulls the reader in.

Peabody cracks me up
Revisado: 03-21-22
Peabody is always down to believe the supernatural. She is a great balance to Eve's straight pragmatism. Roarke is so very Roarke in this book. Definitely recommend.
