SO GOOD!

If you have read the previous books, then you understand the delicate dance of mystery, romance, inner struggles and comic relief. Lane and Felix continue their adventures and become embroiled in a family feud over an inheritance. There are returning characters and a few new ones that I hope will be seen in coming stories. I especially felt for Cal and would love to read his story and hope he gets his HEA. Joel Leslie just gets better and better. I don't even bother with reading the ebook if I see that he's narrating. It is unbelievable that one person could voice so many distinct characters and convey the action and emotion so completely. He gives Felix the perfect "whine!" I totally recommend this audio book and wait desperately for the next installment.

I hope this series never end. And Joel Leslie....! I always love him in every book he narrates, but this one was special. He is just excellent !

Simply superb.

If you’re looking for a fabulous action/adventure love story riddled with laugh out loud moments then this is the book for you. Brilliantly narrated by Joel Lesley who’s voice acting is outstanding in his field. Highly recommended

love love LOVE & thirsting for more

The first two books were amazing, so I’ve had the third installment on preorder and shamelessly binge-listened in one day. Honestly? I don’t think I’ve ever laughed this much over an audiobook. Felix is hilarious with his antics and sticky fingers, and Lane is both indulgent and witty with his own comebacks and thirst for excitement. They have great chemistry, and together they’re either perfect for each other or terrible influences on each other. Actually. I’d say they’re both. And I’ve loved every minute of their love story. Without spoiling, I’ll just say that the plot is filled with so many interesting twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat wanting to know more. Not only is there humor and action, but some lovely tidbits of emotion to balance it out. New characters! Cal. I love him so much and I need to know more of his story. I hope we get to meet Grayson in the future as well, but for now, I’m so happy to know we will be at least seeing more of Cal. He is definitely my favorite addition. Antonio. He’s a great addition as well. I can see him being friends with Felix and Cal (with perhaps some reluctance on Antonio’s part). I hope we see more of him, too. Frank. Not much to say without spoiling anything, but I enjoyed the scenes with him. ... I plan to listen to more audiobooks from the author for sure. She’s brilliant. As for Joel Leslie. As always, he’s phenomenal at created different voices and capturing all the emotions and personalities of each character. So glad he narrated this series!

So good

Felix and Lane are at it again!! I love serious yet unserious this book was. Yeah there are robberies, blackmailing, shootouts and chase scenes but with Felix behind them all you can help reading with a smile. You can see the bond growing between Felix and Lane and between Lane’s family as well. Excellent audio!!

Laugh out loud fun

It’s all fun and games until someone steals a pig! This book literally had me laughing out loud. Though the story lost the rip roaring pace towards the middle, the action, mystery, and hilarious mayhem picked up speed again as the story built with intensity and ended up being one of my favorites. It is an intricate story with quite a few plot twists and surprises along the way. As always, Lane and Felix have this bizarrely strange and totally loving relationship, which is just the right blend of sappy and ridiculous. Joel Leslie does a fantastic job as always ‘becoming’ the characters. His nuanced reading especially bring Felix’s absurdity to life.

Another great entry in this snark & cuddle mystery

Audiobook Review September 2020: There just has to be more Felix and Lane to come but until then, I am going to love rereading/relistening to this amazing series. Just something about the pair that can warm your heart and infuriate you all at the same time. Truly makes this series great and it's fun to read something a little different. Joel Leslie does the best narration, he really brings these guys to life. Original Review February 2020: I probably should have just written an overall series review because though I read book 1 back in November for my Caregiver Month 2019 post, I read books 2, 3, & 3.5 back-to-back-to-back now. However, I wrote them up individually so don't be surprised if some of what I've said previously shows up again. On to Deception in Darkness. Felix and Lane are brilliantly snarky and cuddly as always. They are perfect together and by "perfect" I mean completely imperfect with brutal honesty, zinger and one-liner filled banter that to the outsider may seem mean and spiteful but to those of us who get Felix and Lane we know it's all done from a place of compassion, friendship, and respect fueled 150% by love. I understand how that kind of relationship isn't for everyone and why some might see it as mean and spiteful but as I said previously my parents have a similar zinger-filled banter relationship(on a smaller scale without the danger addiction😉😉) and they'll be celebrating their 50th in October so when I see that kind of relationship in books I get it and find it completely heartwarming to know that others out there have experienced it too. As for the danger I mentioned above, well I don't know who is more heavily addicted: Felix or Lane? They both have a penchant for trouble, Felix is probably more of a magnet for it, Lane may not go looking for it but he certainly doesn't shy away from it when it presents itself. Just one of the many reasons why they are perfectly matched. I'm not going to say any more specifics to Deception's plot or the situations the guys find themselves in but I will add that not a single character is extra, page-filler, or unnecessary because each and everyone plays a part. New and old, each makes their mark and earns their spot in the In Darkness series. Whether there is more to come in Felix and Lane's journey I don't know but I will definitely welcome any of their adventures for years to come. More or not, this will definitely be going on my re-read/listen list. The blending of humor, romance, heat, danger, and adventure makes this one I'll never tire of visiting.

Another All Time Favorite

This entire series had me grinning and snickering like a loon. I've already revisited the series multiple times just because I love the storyline, the humor and, of course, Joel Leslie's performance.

very good
