Intriguing

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. This was a very intriguing book, political and romance combined. The "shadow" government is very thought provoking. Love this author, would definitely want more from this author and genre.

Just OK "thriller"

I couldn't tell if this was a romantic suspense, conspiracy theory mystery, or supernatural mystery. There were too many things going on at one time and it felt rushed especially the relationship between Emily and Ash. If the author had given about 1/4 more details it could have been a really great book. As it stands it reads like a jumbled rushed mess. The narrator at times sounded like she was voicing characters through clenched teeth and that made it hard tell which character was speaking. This wasn't a bad book or narration it just wasn't great either. I received this book for free for an honest review

Intrigue of our political system

This story asks a lot of questions about our political system. The murder of a politician's aid. Only they don't know she has a twin. A harden cop looking for justice for the young woman. It's about a foreign power deepening it hold on our political system so they can control our policies and implode our democracy. This story is not hard to believe looking at the corruption and policies that are being attempted in our political system. There is a love story between Ashton and Emily as they delve into solving her sister's murder. This story has lots of twists and intrigue keeping you riveted.

Great book

Narrator Kristen James does an excellent job bringing Casi McLeans Reign of Fire to life.

Set in Washington DC it is Political intrigue with a shadow government, Romance, Mystery and Suspense. I don’t normally like books in a political setting but I loved this one.

Reign Of Fire

This was one of those books I just couldn’t put down. The political intrigue, not knowing who to trust, loss, a bit of paranormal and a little romance, this story has it all. There is a conclusion, for those that don’t like cliffhangers, but there is also a great setup for more books to come. I can’t wait too see where Casi McLean takes this!

I thought Kristin James did a great job with the narration and I hope to hear more from her soon.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Something different from Casi and I liked

This was something new and different for me from Casi. I like it. I was caught up in the intrigue of it all. The things that could get you killed whether you seen something, heard something, or heck. . . they just didn't know what you may have or have not. This was a good listen from the beginning with one sister. All the way to the end with the other sister.

Now, as for the audio quality was a bit shaky at first. It had a bit of a echo quality at the beginning. Things straightened up before the end. I did enjoy Kristin James. She gave an extra layer of realism to our characters. I am excited to see the next installment in the Deep State Mysteries.

*****
I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Casi McLean. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

I Loved this book!

What would you do if you discovered the whole government is corrupt?
Would you ask a ghost for help?
Would you find a new love?

This book has it all! Mystery, Love, and a bit of the paranormal!

The narration was great.

Can't wait to read more of Casi's books!

I was given this review copy and this is my honest review.

A good story

Definitely want to read the next one. Alyssa certainly had a big job ahead of her. Her sister is killed & they have to figure out who did it. She has a lot of help but the best help was the German Shepherd. A well written mystery with a bit more romacey stuff than I like but a great story anyway!

Entangled webs

Avenging her sister, she gets entangled in so much more! She’s see’s her sister’s ghost, has chemistry with the detective and needs to get to the end one way or another!

This book has everything....

As always, I have to state that this book was given to me for free in exchange for a review.
I always like to state that this does not impact my review or my opinion of the book. My reviews are honest and my own opinion of the story, performance, and overall thoughts on the book.

When I say that this book has everything, I literally mean everything...

Romance, Thriller, Paranormal, and amazing character development and storylines.

Murder, shadow government conspiracies, ghosts, and blossoming romance intertwine for an awesome read. Highly recommend if you like your books with a paranormal aspect.
