Blood and torture...

Greg Boudreaux is a master of narration. He takes an awesome book and makes it AH-MAY-ZING!!
If it was possible to give more than 5 stars this would be the book I'd give it to. Brilliant!

Non-Stop Action

This is the fourth book in the series and usually they tend to drag on and act as filler for the final book. (This is a great series and don't want it to end!!) The story picks up after Montana and all the fallout from the events play out in Jamie Callahan's life affecting primarily his relationship with his family. It's a worthy book continuing in the series.

Greg Boudreaux is amazing as the narrator of the story. I love the inflections, tone and subtle pacing to pull you into the story. I have over 40 books from this narrator and trust me when I say he is a superb performer. I am amazed he is able to switch from one voice to another in the story since there is a lot of dialog. Don't think the series would be as entertaining wihout Greg's performance.

Astounding but hard to listen to in places

This is a powerful story for so many reasons. The mission that went sideways in so many ways, the rising tension between Jamie Callaghan, leader of the MDF Alpha Team, and his father, the horror of the terrorist attacks in Boston...everything is portentous and too real in the world Hailey Turner has been building over the course of this series. The metahumans in Jamie's team are confronted with increasingly more difficult and -- thanks to Stanislav, the precog metahuman in the enemy camp -- unexpected challenges as they work to complete their mission. That the men were able to overcome, despite everything that happens to them, and find their way back to their lovers, is miraculous.

The pain in this story is overwhelming, and I need to say that upfront. It was hard to listen to and finishing the story took much longer than I had expected. I found myself supremely angry that the author chose to present so MUCH of the actual in-the-room torture that Alexei and Sean suffered at the hands of the Irish terrorist Killian. I understand the need for her to ensure that her readers fully appreciate and believe in the reality of the horrors the men had to endure, but to my ears, it seemed like overkill. I was not a fan of those parts of the story at all.

Greg Boudreaux does a great job of evoking the varying emotional statuses of the men whose journey we follow in this story. I enjoyed this book, probably more because of his performance than I would have had I had to read it on my own. Despite the awful agony of listening to some parts of it, his rendition made it easier to bear. Had I had to read those sections on my own, I would probably have skipped over them.

The author tore my heart out & stomped all over it

Okay at one point Ms Turner I was going to tell you how much I totally disliked you, okay I could have called you some really nasty names, because of what you did. But then that ending, how can one stay mad at you after reading that. This was a majorly rough one. What a couple of our heroes went through was absolutely brutal. And the one behind it got what he deserved. Okay I would have liked to have tortured him for a long time before the big finale, but it was satisfying. This One has such major feels. My cat was laying next to me looking at me like, stupid human why is there water running down your face. Yes it was ugly crying. There were times that I couldn’t catch my breath. Jamie’s father, boy he needs some brains beaten into him. I hate when he is around. I loved that we spent quality one on one time with both of our couples, the sexy times were majorly hawt!!!! I cannot wait for then next book in the series. I also can’t wait for the fraternization to be changed so they can be seen out together. They deserve it. If you have read the first three books in the series yet, stop don’t read this one. They need to be read in order. Well done Ms Turner, keep up the amazing job!

OMG the bad things that happened re-tore me up. Greg Boudreaux did an absolutely amazing job narrating this book.

So good

A lot happens in this story! I enjoyed every minute of this action packed, rollercoaster of a story! Greg Boudreaux did a fantastic job with the huge cast of characters. All the voices where distinctive and well done!

YESSSS

OMG I have been waiting for this audio to come out. I have heard the first three and am obsessed with Greg Boudreaux narration. I also was obviously intrigued with the story and the added love storyline :) Hailey Turner is amazing and I love her writing. Can't wait for the last one :)

I loved the audio version of this book.

This series has so much going on. Homegrown and international terrorists, deadly bombs, family obligations, and men and women with incredible abilities. This story has all that and more.

Jamie and Kyle are not liking their current assignment but enjoying being able to have their “pretend” relationship in public. Sean and Alexei living together. Enjoying their time with each other.

Jamie’s father is insisting that his campaign for president carry on even after an assassination attempt. A splice bomb goes off, putting the whole team in danger.

Alexei and Sean are my favorite couple in the books. The author chose to put them serious jeopardy in this one. She takes great delight in torturing her readers by torturing her men.

I read the book when it was first released. I forgot how gut wrenching Sean and Alexei’s ordeal was. I didn’t get overly emotional when I read it, however the narration added so much to the story. Listening to the subway scene was heartbreaking and tears were shed.

Wow!! This series just gets better and better!

I absolutely adored this book and I think it’s my favourite in the series so far. This series honestly just gets better and better. This book starts to see the various storylines in the series both speed up and come together and it makes for a fast paced, action packed, emotional rollercoaster of a read/listen. There were parts of this book that tore me apart because of what my two favourite characters, Alexei and Sean, had to face, but in her usual amazing fashion Hailey Turner put me back together bit by bit. Beautiful characters, intense storylines, sizzling chemistry and tons of action - an all round perfect book.

Greg Boudreaux did his usual incredible job as a narrator, he brings the characters to life perfectly and he’s a “must listen” narrator for me.

I received an arc of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving an honest and unbiased review
