Resumen del Editor

Searching for the truth just turned deadly.

Disgraced investigative journalist Pip West is devastated when she discovers her best friend’s body facedown in a tranquil lake. When cops and federal agents determine her friend overdosed and then drowned, Pip knows they’re mistaken and intends to prove it.

Special Agent Hunt Kincaid doesn’t trust journalists and has no patience for Pip’s delusions, especially since her meddling could reveal why the FBI is interested in her friend’s last days. The dead scientist worked at the cutting edge of vaccine research and might have a connection to a new, weaponized, vaccine-resistant anthrax strain that just hit the black market.

Pip is thrown off her game by grief and her unexpected attraction to the handsome federal agent. Hunt battles the same unwelcome pull, determined to resist the heat that threatens to consume them both. But the more Pip digs, the closer she gets to both the sexy FBI agent and to a bioweapons terrorist who’s more than capable of cold-bloodedly sacrificing anyone who gets in his way.

recurring theme

I am enjoying the books in this series. However, a recurring theme is the main characters having insecurities and hang ups that affect their judgment. And these errors in judgment are used by the author to keep the story going. Because if the characters reacted with their brain and not overwhelming emotion then the correct conclusions would be drawn and the story over much faster. The bad thing is that the reader is easily able to leap ahead and then has to wait for the book to catch up. There are enough twist and turns to keep the reader from completing figuring things our before the end though. I like the main characters, the plot and the romance.

Great book and awesome narration..

Since I’ve been reading murder mysteries with no romance this book seemed full of it. However, it was a good story about weaponized anthrax and the people who were killed because they knew about it and could identify the bad guys. One of them was Cindy, a genius who came up with an antidote for it, and was killed just before he best friend, Pip West, showed up and found her dead in the lake by her house, and Pip’s belief that Cindy’s death was murder and not an accident, as the police and FBI were saying.

Our hero, Hunt Kincaid, was looking into the anthrax that was stolen from a lab but couldn’t tell Pip for fear it would get out and there would be a panic, Pip was a journalist, after all. So, he kept his secrets and over a week’s time the two fell in love. Yeah, a little too insta-love for me and a little to angsty at times, from both of them.

There was explicit sex in this and the F-bomb was used 39 times.

As to the narration: Eric G. Dove always gives a wonderful performance. He’s one of my top 5 favorite male narrators because he does such an awesome job on both the male and females voices and his emotions while reading.

Well written

The first chapter grabbed me and didn’t let go! Characters were well developed. Since I have listened to other books narrated by Eric Dove, I was delighted he was the narrator for this book. I read the book in two days and it was difficult to put it down. Have thoroughly enjoyed the series!!

Delightful full of excitement and thrills

This was so heart breaking, it broke my heart that pip found her friend the way she did, and all the nasty things that was said about her. Pip wouldn't believe them and fought for her friend until the real answers came out. The author gives you excitement, danger, thrills and wonderful twists and turns. Loved the romance and how it was laid out. It really took me a long time to work it all out, first I thought one person was to blame and then another for most of the story. The author knows how to grab your attention, keeping it, making you want to laugh and cry all at the same time. I truly love this author, she knows how to tell a story and making you want to come back for more.

The narrator is one of my favorite, I love that he does most of this authors books. He truly holds you on the edge and keeping you there with his voice, emotions his character voices. There are no repeating of words, no volume changes, love his character voices, you always know who is talking and what they are feeling. He gives true emotions and you feel them all the way to your toes. As always he did an outstanding job and I can't wait for the next one to come out.

I get really excited when I know there is a new audio coming out from these two. I have a hard time waiting for it. Great job keeping me entertained for hours with a book I just couldn't turn off.

Good romance turned thrillerish...

This is the 1oth audio of this story and I must enjoy them to keep devoting so much time to this story! I have to say that I've found myself a bit attached to the characters. I really enjoyed the symbolism and meaning behind the story. It did drag a bit here and there for me... I would have loved a bit more suspense... but that could just be me.

Eric G Dove is a great narrator. He brings his characters to life. I'll admit that he's a bit... over the top for me. But not so much that I'm turned off the series or even enough to adversely affect my thoughts. Perhaps just tone it down a bit for the next one :)

A typical heroine

The first one I was a little disappointed in. Generic typical woman. The story was great, missed the sub characters too.

When neither the journalist nor the agent stopped...

[Received a promo code in exchange of a review.]

This one actually surprised me in a good way. I’m usually a bit aloof to stories described in the way that it is (“The journalist looking for the truth and the FBI agent who wants her to stop”), but it doesn’t seem as representative as I thought this time. This one is, overall, about two professionals who are being human.

I myself have watched “Castle” and am getting caught on to “Bones”. If you are in a similar viewing segment, this book might be for you.

The narrator seems to be overdoing it somewhat (think Jack McFarland’s “This is how an announcer talks!” in “Will & Grace”), but that can generally be ignored.

I love this series

that's really all, I can't stop listening and I love every single book, excited for more to come

Good Mystery/Romance balance

Good story! Enjoyed the balance of mystery and romance throughout. Anderson did a wonderful job of keeping you in the book. I loved her writing style, however, the book did drag in some places for me. I still recommend reading/listening to it though.

Dove was easy to listen to and did great with differentiating the characters.

I look forward to listening to more of Anderson and Rove's work.


*I received a free credit for this audio from the author, but this is my honest review.

Amazing series

This has been one of my favorite series. I live the common threads of each book but also the total difference. I love this authors mind. Really good series about the FBI and Justice.
