About this listen

Can you call someone an enemy if you haven’t seen them for the better part of a decade?

Deacon Black is perfectly content with the status quo - work, sleep, repeat. Who cares if he’s rigid, structured, and set in his ways?
It’s a job requirement that keeps his men safe and his company’s doors open.

One phone call is all it takes to upend his life and land him right back into a past he has tried to forget.

Revisiting old ghosts is the last thing he needs.

Especially when the forced trip down memory lane includes the only woman he never wanted to see again.

Annalise Grimaldi hit the jackpot with her life - from her trust fund to her best friend, she has it all.

But her world comes crashing to a halt when her best friend vanishes - leaving behind an apartment in tatters and more questions than answers.

There’s only one person she can think of that can help in a situation like this.

She hates to make the call, but there isn’t a thing she wouldn’t do to make sure her friend is found.

Even setting aside her hatred for Deacon Black.

A good start to a new series, I’ve not read this author before. Enjoyed the audible but it was not the best female voice I’ve ever heard. Enjoyable book and story tho

Good book

I bought this book because I like the narrators, they're both pretty popular so I figured they wouldn't take on a bad book. Boy was I wrong... the plot had the bones but none of the flesh. So many things didn't make any sense, or weren't explained very well.

The writing wasn't fluent enough to seamlessly convey what the characters were feeling so they seemed schizophrenic at times, switching from one emotional state to another without any apparent reason. Deacon was OK-ish, but Ana..I seriously didn't like her. She was stupid, spoilt, selfish, rude, a complete doormat when it came to her friend and behaved like a lunatic. Like when she knew she had the Russians after her but she thought she'll just go alone for a walk? Or when she put her head on the lap of a man she only met minutes before...who does that?!

She's the stereotypical horror story woman who goes outside at night after being told not to and then gets killed. I'm so fed up with authors thinking that sassy woman = woman behaving like a spoilt toddler.

Not worth the credit
