so much FUN !

yes , I am a bit on the crazy side , but the way they blow shit up is just awesome in my head . I have been listening to this series , along with Bethany Anne's books while I am sidelined with a hand injury .(and while I am out in the garden when nobody is watching me ) I can't tell you how many times I have whooped and smiled and gotten funny looks from my husband and children . keep it coming please !

love book

I liked the comment on using Blockchain! Enjoy the technology references used in these story lines!

One of the best multi-author series I've seen.

One of the best multi-author series I've seen, and I've been reading fiction for over 60 years.

Love these books!

I love how Michael is slowly changing from his old ways and opening up more! Also the separate groups accomplishing their own tasks and doing it in the most bad ass way possible and be aware there is just a little profanity in here ;) Then there are the author notes I've never had so much fun listening to two people bicker about who did there work faster and I can't wait until the next book just for the author notes!

Funniest audible author notes ever...

For fucks sake you all had me laughing harder at the end with the back and forth between Michael and Elle Lee than anywhere in any of the books.. I'm not saying the books were bad but you two squabbling like an old and bitter married couple had me rolling. Amazing job on the Tag teamed story line. Chris, excellent job as always.... maybe you should get in the middle of them squabbling next time hahahah

Still Listening, but there’s less Michael in every subsequent book

Now that the team is split up, the story switches between POV’s. While I can’t be sure, it seems like more time is given to NOT Michael. Since I find Jacqeline to be fingernails-on-a-chalkboard annoying, that’s a big check in the negative column.
Those POVs in this book are so so boring!!! Most of the book they’re just killing time in Japan.

It also goes back and forth too fast. It cuts off in the middle of a situation, sometimes jumping around in time. I think it’s done to “build suspense” but it’s just frustrating I honestly was itching to just start skipping ahead of the ancillary characters, but the bits are so short, I might miss all the interesting /Michael portions in those 30 sec.

The other thing is that the dialogue is suffering. sometimes wooden and seemingly forced. Too much attempted humor and banter in the middle of battles. Too flippant. It’s weird.

Also, I just have to say for a whole series that is supposed to be about “kick ass women” it flings around unflattering female stereotypes an awful lot— like women being obsessed with shoes, being distracted by sparkly jewelry, being a jealous possessive temperamental brat, etc.

I wish I still enjoyed the actual books as much the overall story. But I’m really still listening because the author made me interested and made me really like Michael early on and now I can’t let go, I need to know what happens.

This was spectacular!

I got to read and listen to the story at the same time. And I realized I have been saying a lot of the words wrong. I loved listening to the both of you during the author notes, I laughed so hard I woke the house!

Another knockout book.

Always exciting and i never want to stop. What else could i expect from a team like Michael and Ell Leigh ?

Even better than the last!

More characters, more intriguing. The main characters keep growing, I love this book and series. Just gonna wait for the next one.

love this side story line especially Michaels back

love this side story line especially Michaels back... and I cannot wait for Michael & Bethany Ann to get back together. YAY. I CHECK NACK EVERY WEEKNTO SEE IF THERE ARE NEW RELEASES.
