Publisher's summary

Felix and Lane are trying out their new normal. Normal means no more car chases, no more drug lords, and definitely no more kidnapping bad guys. All of that is a thing of the past in this new, normal(ish) life style filled with family get-togethers, torturous jogs through the park, and the occasional romp in the parking lot. Felix is done stealing (all but for the cat). He is actually enjoying the boring side of life, especially with Lane by his side doing what he does best: looking handsome. But when Felix's brother wants to repair their relationship, he brings with him a secret that could cost all of them their lives.

Lane isn't complaining because the thrills of life-threatening situations are right up his alley. They may think they have a handle on the situation, but what they do not know is that someone has been working them from the shadows. Forcing them to do exactly what he wants as he drives them closer to his sick game of life and death.

Join Felix and Lane in a race against time, their only weapons being their humor and their wit.

This series only gets more hilariously amazing!

First of all....how to opine about Joel Leslie? He is an amazing narrator and the banter back and forth that is essential in this series is right up his alley. The first book is very action packed and the plot is convoluted due to deep undercover and police corruption issues. The second book is much more domesticated, same page, and too curious for their own good sort of tale. I loved the sarcasm, continued expansion of family members closeness and even possible future spawn (gasp!) the story meanders wonderfully and then gets Super Dramatic for the last few hours. Be prepared to want to yell at the characters as they awkwardly go out to investigate alone the equivalent of “what’s that noise?” in a horror movie and confront obvious villains.

great story, narration leaves much to be desired

loved the story. seriously and absolutely loved the story. the narrator was.... eh. it was good sometimes but then he starts going too fast or something and his voice gets shakey like he is running on a treadmill or about to cry. really distracting.

Perfect narration for an excellent book!

Joel Leslie was perfect as usual! He makes it so enjoyable to listen. He gives life to the characters. I highly recommend this series.

Humor, Suspense, Great Narration

I loved three-quarters of this story. The humor, how wonderful a couple Felix and Lane are...I just love how perfect they are for each other where their strengths and weaknesses are completely complementary and their snark is unmatched.

Joel Leslie does a fantastic job narrating with great character voices, plenty of emotion, and a way of bringing the humor out and polishing it up brilliantly like a diamond for our listening pleasure.

Now, have I mentioned how much of a wuss I am? I am a big old scaredy cat. I don't like horror, I don't like to be scared or frightened or panicked or terrorized…I think you're getting the picture.

Unfortunately, I pretty much hated the last 6 chapters (not including the terrific epilogue), but that's because of the aforementioned dislike of being scared. And Felix is put through some pretty scary situations at that point. I hate any kind of "let's play a game" torture porn movies/books. It creeps me out in a totally anxious way that isn't even slightly pleasurable. I think if you enjoy that sort of thing, you'll probably absolutely love all of this.

Single POV, plenty of wonderful, snarky, sarcastic humor, and lots of suspense with a Jigsaw-level creepy bad guy, some action, and a happy ending. The awesome narration for this series by Joel Leslie makes these stories such a pleasure to listen to. I absolutely recommend you definitely check it out in audio for the best experience.

I certainly hope Alice Winters continues to pen adventures for Felix and Lane, but hopefully it'll be less scary (for us wimpy wimps) next time.

FUN, FUNNY, FABULOUS!!!

I found the amazing Alice Winters by accident in the "Hitman's" series. Her books are exciting, fun, have great pacing and are funny as Hell. Add the Audible portion, with Joel Leslie as the voice of Lane and Felix, I became completely enamored. Laugh out loud hilarious and so entertaining. I wish this series was in theaters. I highly recommend this author and voice actor 👌

Equally hilarious, adventurous, heartfelt, and horrifying

It’s often difficult to follow up the first in a series with a story that’s equally as good but Alice Winters does so. All the elements from the first book can be found here but in a different way. I highly recommend reading/listening to them in order. I’ve listened to these books multiple times mainly due to Joel Leslie’s perfect narration. The way he uses his voice to add just the right amount of sarcasm, emotion, exasperation, or even a touch of whining really brings the characters to life.

Delightful

Felix and Lane are back at it! Solving mysteries, stealing animal and pure ridiculousness! Alice Winters has such a way with words. She is a master at weaving such dark content with silliness that these stories end up not being so dark as one would think. Highly recommend this one!
Narration by Joel Leslie was spectacular!!!

Great Story

Not as funny as the first, but there are some really fun moments and the mystery really keeps you guessing. Lane’s family is wonderful and humorous.
