About this listen

Publishers Note: Listening order. To heighten your enjoyment of Jack and Ethan's developing relationship, please listen to the novellas Bargaining with the Devil, When the Devil Drives, and Devil in the Details before this audiobook. Thank you.

Jack Reardon uncovers secrets for a living, and the Meta-State spy is pretty good at it. Or rather he thought so until he met Ethan Blade—assassin, warrior, enigma. The unlikely pair have decided to give living together a shot, but Jack's not entirely certain what he's gotten himself into—or exactly who he's in it with. Jack's worries are compounded when he's assigned to a police strike force hunting a serial killer. With each new puzzle piece, Jack considers the true nature of a serial killer—and how similar it is to an assassin...one particular assassin who's having trouble adjusting to retirement. Jack's unsure how to help Ethan; or if he even can.

When the killer strikes close to home, Jack must race against the clock to stop another murder, despite the price someone has put on his head. Could the matters be connected? Is a certain assassin at the center of both? Surrounded by killers, the only one Jack wants near disappears, leaving Jack drowning in secrets. He'll have to do what he does best—unravel the secrets, including Ethan's—to stop the killer and save the life he and Ethan have only just begun to build.

marvelous

Pageturner. What is not to like about that? Well, I was confused, even the second time around. What is the present and what is the past, all ended up a big mess in my head. The narrator is great.

Brilliant

The series just gets better .
Jack is chasing The Judge a serial killer what he doesn’t know is The Judge is closer than he thinks.
Ethan and Jack are still trying to work out their relationship which is causing issues as both of them are more alike than they realise .
I full on belly laughed at the drag queens name Dixie Normous and I’m wondering why it’s never been used by real drag queens .

Misfiring Cylinders

Ethan had a fabulously written growth arc and the villain was so interesting that I wished for more!! The Thailand sojourn was such good fun - so colourful and vibrant! However the before | after narrative structure was beyond aggravating. If there was a payoff when the time lines synced up, l missed it. I was most annoyed with the ‘after’ that was 80% Jack’s self pity party and 20% plot advancement. I adored Book #1 & Novellas so l hope that Book #2.5 is a return to mid-season form.

Rowan Scott just barreled through heartfelt writing like a bull in a china shop?!! So when the narrative spoke to Jack’s grenade or when Jack mourned or Ethan’s powerful realisation in the Coda, you realise that Rowan's narration is disappointingly one nasal note. The final straw? Adam’s vocals are Ethan but with an Australian accent.
