Summary

Weston doesn’t believe in voodoo, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t believe in him. His life and family were steeped in the stuff, and it was fine, until voodoo took everything from him and ripped his life from his grasp. And when it swallowed whole the person he loved most, he had to escape.

But there were consequences. His voodoo goddess wasn’t going to let go of him so easily, and her revenge was the pinnacle of evil. He could have dealt with something like impotence or boils, but this was purely depraved. She came for him and hit him where it hurts. She might as well have taken his guns.

Weston found himself unable to lie. A hit man who can’t lie. What a joke.

When his handler throws him a bone - a job that requires no interaction, only observation - Weston takes it. He should be able to do this in his sleep, but he’s off his game. He gets way too close.

Nothing is as it seems, and someone else, maybe someone worse than him, is stalking his mark. But he can’t leave the kid high and dry. Not when Eli is all he can think about.

as good as the ebook

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, I’m over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

A fun romp!

This was a fun romp and I hope it’s the start of a series involving these characters! Smith procures contracts for hitman and surveillance expert, Weston. Weston is still getting over the fact that his ex-wife has put a voodoo curse on him so he cannot lie - a slight drawback in his line of work! When he is contracted to surveil Eli, nothing is straightforward. Lots of amusing scenes and great repartee between the two main characters. The narrator performed well but could have sounded more excited during the action scenes.

Enjoyable

I thought this one when I read the first part of the blurb would be very serious. I’m glad that I took the chance though as this had the perfect balance of humour and seriousness and some amazing characters. Loved it
