Gael Peterson has spent years hiding behind the enhanced abilities he wears like a mask, even though he is an important, confident member of the FBI’s exclusive H.E.R.O. team. In a world where those with special abilities like Gael’s are regarded as freaks and monsters, it won’t be easy for him to rely on his regular new partner to have his back, especially when the abilities of a vulnerable, nonspeaking, enhanced child make that child a murder suspect.

Growing up, I was taught that getting too close to someone would be my downfall. But I’ve proven that wrong now that I’m happily married to Jackson, the greatest man in the world. The issue is that mayhem always seems to find me (which is definitely not my fault), and this time, it comes in the form of a woman looking for her daughter.

The truth is, I'm an admin assistant who applied for a job that sounded kind of interesting and ended up working for the Community of Species Government. I'm the only human in the office, and basically I ride herd on a team of rambunctious shifters and demons. I also spend a lot of time avoiding Gideon Bailey, the demon I had a one-night stand with right before I took this job. He hates me, and I really want to avoid being murdered. But I've been offered a promotion that will mean working with him, so we're both going to have to get over it

Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

From that point on, it was all over for me - I knew we were meant to be. The issue is that he doesn’t…quite seem to realize that. But when he’s targeted by criminals (literally, someone just shot at his head), he needs to rely on someone, so why not me?

It might even be starting to get boring. In fact, an adolescent dragon crash-landing on my landlord's shed is just the kind of excitement I need - especially when he brings his species leader to my door.

Going Strong!
I enjoyed this book more that the first. We’re seeing the growing pains of Talon & Finn’s relationship. How one wants to protect the other, and the other wants to prove his own strength & his own worth. It’s a realistic struggle for a new relationship. And I love how their conflict got resolved.
I love the other characters in this series too & I’m looking forward to getting to know them, but at the same time, I wanna keep reading about Talon & Finn. ♥️
Nick J Russo did a fantastic job with his performance. He managed to give all different characters come life in various ways and accents. Amazing!

Even better than book 1!
The Enhanced series keeps kicking it up a notch and is definitely getting better with each installment, but man, oh, man, do I love Nick J. Russo narrating these.
Told again from a dual POV, in Who We Truly Are the action is pretty non-stop, with lots of sexy times in between the next crisis that Talon or Finn face.
This time around it's all about trying to find out what's happening to the missing enhanced teens and Finn goes undercover, much to Talon's disapproval. Finn, predictably, keeps getting hurt (I just wish some of Talon's powers could somehow transfer to Finn...) but it's because he keeps doing what is right, but unfortunately it also means Talon and the team keep having to save him. Meanwhile, Talon is going through his own life-altering changes, which could ultimately mean trouble for the team.
I love how this series is progressing, but mostly I love how Nick J. Russo brings these characters to life. His character voices are great and consistent, his tone and pitch are good, and his pacing is terrific.
Look no further for a sexy as hell, good time, entertaining, paranormal romance with plenty of action and awesome narration.

A gripping story
Our actions will always define who we truly are...
The second book in the Enhanced series follows up where the first one finished. Talon and Finn are still trying to figure their relationship while working to make their team a success. When the turn of events makes it necessary for Finn to go undercover, it does not go well with Talon, who wants to keep Finn out of danger, which of course makes Finn angry because he feels demeaned. This summarizes Finn and Talon relationship. Talon needs to keep Finn safe, who in turn feels the need to prove himself. Likewise, Talon feels Finn would be safer without him, and that makes Finn question if Talon really cares about him. It seems so difficult to reach an agreement between these two stubborn characters!
As for the mystery, it is interesting and gripping, The pace is fast, and the intrigue gains momentum with every page. Nick J. Russo manages the narration perfectly, being able to masterfully balance feelings and actions. With a wide range of emotions on display, his voice becomes the ideal means to navigate a roller-coaster of events that move from grief-shaken teenagers to cold-blooded murderers with a surprising ease. It is an excellent performance, which makes this audio a fully enjoyable experience

I don't want this to end
Great follow up to the first book. I love Nick J Russo, his distinction of characters makes anything he reads come alive. He not only creates unique voices but uses the emotions to show the depth of feelings. He doesn't read the book but acts the characters. Its like a one man Broadway show.
I wasn't so sure I would like this genre when I read/listen to the first book but I'm glad I did. I fell in love with the characters and was sad when it end. I bought this book last night and listened in one sitting. I'm about to start it again cause I kept dozing off. I highly recommend this book because it's so GOOD. Please let there be more. There are so many secondary characters that deserve their own follow up stories.
Victoria Sue is a great story teller and she is one of the authors I check at the least weekly to see if her other books have come out on audible. So buy the first one if you havent and immediately move on to this one. You should not read this one without reading the first one. You would lose the understanding of the depth of love, loyalty and plot line.

This book continues Talon and Finn’s story from Five Minutes Longer. I enjoyed watching Finn grow more confident and sure of himself. There are some interesting hints for the next book. As always, Nick Russo does an amazing job with the narration giving each character a clearly recognizable voice.

Keeps getting better and Better
This is book 2 in the enhanced series and you do have to read in order. This one picks up after Talon and Finn have met, partnered and become lovers. This is being sent on their second mission where Finn will be going undercover in a foster home for enhanced kids to find out where the missing kids are going.
The story is intriguing, suspenseful and it also furthers the hotter than heck romance between Talon and Finn. we learn more about some of the characters, Talon himself included. We meet some cute adolescent boys with talents too. I already loved Finn but this story made me fall even more in love with him.
I listened to the audio and love the narration by Nick J Russo. He really kicks it up a notch giving as many different voices as he can. I did think a couple of the boy voices sounded more adult than a couple of the adult but it didn't hinder the performance. If you can get these in audio I highly recommend!

You are my greatest ability
Damn, this series is getting better and better! 😱 I mean I loved the first book but I’m heads over heels in love with this one. 😁 I listened this 8hours audio in ONE day. One day!!! 😱 So I guess I need no more explanation about how much I loved this book. 😉
After the last disaster of their operation, Finn and Talon are in their own little happiness bubble. But as always, happiness don’t last long when you have the seed of doubt and insecurity in your heart. 😢 Talon is terrified of himself and scared that he’s only going to harm Finn and possibly kill him in the end if he continues his relationship with him. And Finn has no idea how to convince Talon that he’s actually the strength and anchor of his life. Meanwhile, domestic problems aside, the enhanced children are still missing. And Gregory and Swan are not giving up their evil deeds of trying to exploit enhanced children. 😡 When Finn was chosen to go undercover as an enhanced teen at a enhanced youth rescue center, it’s the last straw on Talon’s camel back. Talon doesn’t want Finn to go because he can’t live in a world where Finn is hurt and possibly dead. And Finn is tired of being treated like an incapable child. Something has to give if they want to continue to be partners in the bed and out of it. The problem is .. will they run out of time before they even begin to solve one issue at a time?
Raw, gritty and oh-so-engaging! 😍 I loved every second listening this audio. And the sexiness was off the chart in this one! 🔥 Damn, Talon sure knows how to manhandle Finn into a puddled goo! 🔥😉 I loved the storyline and especially the realistic relationship development between Talon and Finn. I mean they are already in love with each other but professing that love to each other was another matter entirely. And I have a crush on each and every member of our beloved H.E.R.O. Unit so I was thrilled to learn more about our hunky, macho agents. And I knew Talon was vulnerable despite his hard exterior but it’s heartbreaking to learn and see how this insecurity and vulnerability started. 😭 I would say most of the issues from the first book are nearly resolved in this one and Talon and Finn’s relationship is stronger than ever. These two sure know how to do reunions with a scorching bang! 😏😁🔥 Most literally! 😂👏 And Nick J. Russo did a fantastic job as always narrating this story. 👏 I’m really looking forward to the third book in the series, Gael’s story. I think it’s going to be a good enemies-to-lovers story. And I hope we will still get glimpses of Talon and Finn because I’m in love with those two adorable headstrong men. Can’t recommend enough if you love urban fantasy and sci-fi books. 💜 All hail to queen Victoria Sue. 😉

Great Series - NJR is fantastic!
Who We Truly Are is the second book in the Enhanced series by Victoria Sue and this story just gets better and better. I love the humor and fun in these books, and the hot and sexy dynamic between Finn and Talon is just icing on the cake. Seriously, if you’re looking for a great paranormal romance the Enhanced series is just what you need. Just make sure you read Five Minutes Longer first before jumping into this book. (In fact this review has some spoilers from the first book - so be warned.)
I really enjoy the fresh and creative spin Victoria Sue puts on this genre. It’s a little bit dystopian but still completely relatable to the world we live in today. She explores some interesting facets of what the introduction of enhanced humans would do to our society. Most disturbing are the wide variety of ways families deal with having an enhanced child and the complications which come along with it. Likewise, the government is struggling to keep up with changes that need to be made to provide for enhanced beings.
Talon and Finn make an interesting duo as a team comprised of an enhanced and regular human as the FBI explores how a Human Enhanced Rescue Organization (H.E.R.O.) can work in this new world. I love the pairing of sweet, inexperienced Finn with Talon as the totally hot and sexy, slightly jaded, older agent. The challenges this dynamic creates are a carry-over from the first book and continue to test their relationship.
Talon has some tough times in Who We Truly Are. Between coming to grips with his deepening affection for Finn, his mother’s unwelcome reappearance in his life, and the changes going on with his abilities, Talon’s issues provide some interesting ways Victoria Sue could take this series, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.
Finn is just beginning to gain some confidence as an agent and wants to show he can do the job. Because he is still learning he makes some pretty bad mistakes, but he perseveres and suffers everything that goes along with having to own up to them. His insecurities come out in his romantic relationship with Talon too; but it’s okay because they work it all out in the sexiest way possible *wink*.
This is the perfect series for Nick J. Russo’s talented narration. He’s great at infusing a little humor in just the right places and his subtle brand of sexy snark lights me up just right. There are some intense scenes in Who We Truly Are and Russo brings the emotion, but keeps it real.
Victoria Sue has some wonderful tidbits about this series on her website, as well as a few scenes that didn’t make it into the books. So, if you’re a fan I encourage you to check it out. There are several ways the next book could go, but it’s safe to say it will be centered around Gael (yay)... and his new human partner. Whatever challenges the H.E.R.O.s face, it’s sure to be a seriously good time, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

It just gets better and better!!
What can I say but that I love this book and the audio just makes an already great story even better! I just love Nick J Russo narration! This is a continuation of Finn and Talon story. I just love how through the audiobook Nick brings the emotions to each of the characters. I love that when I hear certain voices I know exactly who it is. Nick does amazing job yet again!
