Not as good as first two

Revisado: 01-23-25

I have 3 hours left, it's been hard to get into. The self-loathing and explicit sex in the first two were often unnecessary to include but hey it's human. This book, it seems way to excessive. Valerie hasn't grown at all as a character, to the point where I think *I* need a shrink to handle her problems. Every time the murder mystery is on a good beat it derails into 10 or 15 minutes of Valerie self-hating monologuing or other self-destructive behavior. I like the author and will finish this title, but I won't pursue the Valerie Hart series any further.

great story, great narrator

Revisado: 11-01-24

I got this as a deal for the 2 for 1 promo. figured no harm if I didn't like it. the story kept me interested and the narrator was great as Jim Bean along with all the other characters.

How will it end??

Revisado: 08-16-24

I am only halfway through, but wondering how it will end. If you know Stephen King, you'll be prepared for the supernatural twists and turns in the plot. Regarding the review on the narrators female voice- the character of Holly is a great callback to the Mr Mercedes trilogy, her voice was the same in that story, stilted and monotone, it matches her character; Will Patton also narrates those so it was a fun nod to the story for.me.

Deus Ex Machina

Revisado: 04-04-24

Overall I liked the story, it kept my interest. I feel like the story had a lot of filler in some spots, notably any conversation involving Squash or Jailhouse Visits. These were done to flesh out the characters, yes, but man they could have done the work with half the time. Any direct conversation with Katherine Glass made me want to gouge out my own eye, the character was insufferable, but as she would say, I digress. The whole thing wrapped up in the last 22 minutes very quickly and abruptly thanks to the well-placed Deus Ex Machina. I would like to hear more Valerie Hart stories but if the ending of this suggests the plot of the next one, I'll pass on it. Worth the credit and a good continuation from this author.

great sequel

Revisado: 02-17-24

Author didn't miss a beat, picked right up seamlessly from the prior title. Same narrator was great for consistency between books. Jamie's luck seems a little far fetched in this one, but it kept me guessing

I must be desensitized

Revisado: 01-29-24

wasn't as gory and horror-filled as it was made out to be, but it was still a great read. The stories seem a little disjointed until you figure out that they are all related somehow. The final story sets the groundwork for the first 5. I enjoyed it and will be looking for more work from this author.

kept me guessing

Revisado: 12-13-23

I agree with one of the other reviewers, that the breathy hushed voice of the narrator was initially off-putting but I warmed up to it. The story kept me invested and, yes, there were some grotesque descriptors, but if you are used to reading true crime or police procedurals it's nothing too out of the ordinary. Don't forget that the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows...these monsters exist in the real world and not just in the imagination of the author. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the drama of a TV Detective series, but with content bumped up to "MA" for Mature audiences. The character development was on point and I felt for the victims and it made me feel that much more excited to see how the villians would see their demise, whether it was through death or justice. Looking forward to trying more books from this author.

Keeps you in suspense

Revisado: 11-30-23

Having 2 kids that match the age and relationship dynamic of the two main characters, some parts were hard to get through. But the story kept my interest all the way till the end, with the last 2 hours in particular making me wonder "how is it going to end??" Nothing about this story is predictable and there are many twists and turns that are going to make you pay even more attention. Definitely seeking more titles from this author!

"We save who we can. "

Revisado: 11-09-23

The mantra of the FBI's Special Tracking Unit. I was glued to this story and it's setup in the end to the next title in the series. The author and narrator both kept me waiting for what's next in each chapter. Great first impression for my first time reading this author. 👍
