About this listen
Little is known about Luis Montalvo, one of the world's most wanted men, except that he is extraordinarily dangerous and that he never takes no for an answer. Now he wants Eve's help in the worst way. He believes they have something in common, and he's about to prove it with a grisly warning.
Eve will leave everything and everyone behind, even the man she trusts and loves the most, to travel to Montalvo's luxurious armed compound in the Colombian jungle and identify the skull he has recovered. She has agreed to this devil's bargain to save an innocent family, but also for a reason she can't admit to anyone. For the man in the jungle has promised he can give Eve what she wants most of all: the key to unlocking the darkest and most painful mystery of her past.
But as she gets closer to identifying the skull, Eve finds herself caught between two ruthless killers, with no way out. Now, with everything on the line, she must make the most chilling choice of all. And if she's wrong...she's dead.

Story
A music therapist who thrives on helping others, Kendra Michaels cherishes the ordinary life she has achieved after stem cell surgery restored her sight. The skills she perfected during those sightless years - the ability to pick up the most subtle audio, olfactory, and tactile cues in the world around her - coupled with her laser-sharp mind - have made her a uniquely potent observer and problem solver. Kendra’s uncanny way of connecting the dots is as baffling to law enforcement as it is legendary.

Too much testosterone for me
I've loved Eve and Quinn in all the previous books but both characters in this book were annoying. Eve just made stupid choices and Quinn's "he-man" attitude just made me cringe. Not the best from Johanson.

Decent story
I love the story but I struggled to finish it because ot the narration. The narrator could not maintain the voice tones. On top of that the characters accents sounds horrible. One person should do the narration of the series. This way the narrator will grow with the characters, and the voice tones and accents will not change. It really was a hard listen.

This was the first audio book that I have listened to and it was amazing. It was easy to follow and the narrator did a fantastic job differentiating the characters.
I would highly recommend this audio book.

very good book
I have always like Iris Johansen's work and this book was no exception. She developes the story line well and keeps you engaged until the very end. The only part i was dissatisfied with was the narration, the readers accents seem a bit off and i found them distracting, but over all i enjoyed this selection
