Publisher's summary

They looked as if they weren't sure what to do with me until they looked down at their fallen comrade I was standing over. Then, it was on.

I'd never fought more than one person at a time before, well, at least not outside of black belt training. But, that was just sparring. Still, I prepared myself just as I would in class. They attacked simultaneously from different sides. I side stepped while delivering a strike to one guy's gut. The other did manage to catch me in the chest and, though my momentum didn't allow him to get a good grip, it sent me sprawling.

4.5 Thrilling Stars!

This second book in the Alexander Ranch series continues to be intriguing and captivating! This story picks up 6 weeks after the first book. Lela is becoming stronger with the help of self defense sessions with Sean. Jordan and Lela developed feelings for each other in the first book. But Lela wants to be independant and not consumed by a relationship. This frustrates Jordan and causes additional problems when he feels threatened by Seans interest in her as well. The tension between the 3 of them is an under current throughout this story but it's the mystery that is especially gripping. Lela is also developing her special skills as she helps the Alexander's solve a missing persons case. Ms Josephs has a gift at developing the investigation, making us feel like we are part of the process, as they sift through clues, conduct interviews and put themselves in harrowing situations to catch the bad guy. This is a thrilling, intriguing, and addicting story with twists and turns that keep you guessing to the very end.
I really enjoyed Jaime Lamchick's narration. Her voice changes for each character are distinct, and her inflections are spot on making this story even more breathtaking as she draws you into each scene.
I can't wait to listen to more from this fun and exciting group of super sleuths!

Fantastic Continuation of Series

Lela Charles is spending time with the Alexander clan out at the ranch, trying to get a handle on her special abilities and her growing attraction to Jordan Alexander. When the Alexander’s ask Lela for help she agrees, even though she’s still wary of this strange but loving family. But when Jordan asks her to give their budding romance a try, Lela shoots him down, despite the way he, and no one else makes her feel.

This, the second book in the Alexander Ranch series, has much more of a romantic element to it, but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of action and suspense as well, I have to admit, I was a little frustrated by the way Lela kept thwarting Jordan and then something would happen in the story that would make me think Jordan has every reason to be cautious, and perhaps she’s much wiser than me.

The paranormal storyline is a major focus in this book and I look forward to seeing where book three goes from here!

Jaime Lamchick continues to narrate the series and she does an even better job in this second book, which clocks in at just under six hours. Jaime has fully voiced all the characters in this audiobook and her subtle nuances in tone make it easy to follow which characters speak. The audio production quality is flawless.

This audiobook was gifted to me exchange for an unbiased review!

Good Mystery

The Alexanders ask Lela to help them with a case using her special skills. Her connection with Jordan once again surfaces, which tends to complicate things sometimes. There is a good mystery and we get to experience more time with the Alexander family. I look forward to the next book in this fascinating series. Jaime Lamchick once again does a good job of narrating. This book was given to me for free and I provided this unbiased review.

A Hot Mystery Filled Romance with Some PNR

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. This continuation book in the Alexander Ranch series is even hotter and more intriguing than the first in the series. The characters and situations bring you even deeper into their paranormal (PNR) world and leaves you wanting more. If you like mysteries and paranormal characters that are different than what you may be used to, you will love these not so typical PNR characters and their world that revolves around a ranch in California and their non-human elements security firm. The author did an excellent job of bringing the characters and their world to like. I look forward the listening to the next book in the series.

Great Book!

I love this series! I would love to go to the Alexander Ranch and hang out with all the characters! Lela has been called upon by the Alexander's to use her gift to consult on a new case. This may be harder than it sounds with her up in the air relationship with Jordan and facing a past attacker. Could this prove to be too much?
Fantastic character dynamics and growth!

Into thin air

Any additional comments?

I had been looking forward to the sequel of Alexander Ranch, In fact. The author has outdone herself with “Into Thin Air”.
Both novels very easy to read and when I had to leave them, found it extremely easy to pick up the story again. Very entertaining.

Into Thin Air

Would you listen to Into Thin Air again? Why?

I would listen to the book again because the narration was spot on. There were various characters and each one was portrayed different by the narrator. Jamie did a fantastic job narrating both Male and Female parts, used the appropriate tone while narrating both comic scenes and suspense ones.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lela. I love a strong female character and Lela was exactly that. I liked her involvement in the investigation. She was an active participant in the mystery act. Events weren't hidden from her for her protection, instead she played a key part in uncovering the mystery.

What about Jamie Lamchick’s performance did you like?

Good narration all through the book. The right distinction between female and male characters.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the fact the book didn't end when the mystery was solved. We got more scenes between Lela and Jordan of a more personal level, talking about the relationship between them. It added more depth to the story.

Any additional comments?

Into Thin Air will attract the lovers of good mystery/suspense books that feature strong heroines with a dash of romance.

Love this book!

I cannot tell you how much I loved this book. I am not a real fan of paranormal, but this book integrated so many of the traits that I love...suspense, intrigue, romance, angst...a little bit of everything to create an interwoven story of family, friends and lovers. This book begins 6 weeks after the first, with Lela and Shane sparring together. And by sparring, did I mean foreplay? What a scorching scene to be interrupted by Jordan. Now this is my first book of the series, and I can tell that Jordan and Lela have some history. The air between the two is electric in every scene right from the very beginning. Lela and Jordan are off to work on a case that the Alexander family is working on. This "super human" family has been tracking a group of criminals and need Lela's special talent of being able to enter the mind of others. I love this kind of thing, though I definitely would not like that talent myself! The twists and turns of this book keep you on your toes the entire time, the push and pull between Jordan and Lela have you routing for their happily ever after and do they ever solve their case? Listen to this book and you will find the answers, you will not be disappointed.

Jaime Lamchick is the narrator of this series, and she is doing and incredible job. I have heard other books by her and she always brings her best to the story. The performance brings you right into the lives of the characters and you are set right in the middle of the chaos and craziness, the love and the passion.

This book has it all!

Filled with romance, mystery and light paranormal action, this is one adventure that you don't want to miss!

Marla Josephs has created an unforgettable tale with kick butt and take name characters that you will adore.

Jamie Lamchick does an excellent job with the narration and held my attention while delivering this compelling story.

Do yourself a favor and give INTO THIN AIR a listen!
