Seismic Crimes

Disaster Crimes, Book 2

De: Chrys Fey

Narrado por: Bill Nevitt

An Internal Affairs investigator was murdered and his brother, Donovan Goldwyn, was framed. Now Donovan is desperate to prove his innocence. And the one person who can do that is the woman who saved him from a deadly hurricane - Beth Kennedy. From the moment their fates intertwined, passion consumed him. He wants her in his arms. More, he wants her by his side in his darkest moments.

Beth Kennedy may not know everything about Donovan, but she can’t deny what she feels for him. It’s her love for him that pushes her to do whatever she has to do to help him get justice, including putting herself in a criminal’s crosshairs.

When a tip reveals the killer's location, they travel to California, but then an earthquake of catastrophic proportions separates them. As aftershocks roll the land, Beth and Donovan have to endure dangerous conditions while trying to find their way back to one another. Will they reunite and find the killer, or will they lose everything?

"Driving his libido into overdrive."

This is the second in the Disaster Crimes series by Chrys Fey and, initially, I thought that, had I previously read the first book, this one might had den easier to slip into. But now? I don't really think it matters. Beth and Donovan are a couple, at least, they do seem to spend a lot of time coupling, which, for me, seriously distracts from my enjoyment of the story. Especially as it can be quite graphically described. Not being a fan of romances, I am willing to tolerate some lovey dovey, boy meets girl and they call for each other stuff, but this is more washed out pornography at times, and there are far too many times. The rest of the story, by contrast, is quite entertaining, an unusual thriller, well written, including a description of an earthquake.

Narration of this book is by the excellent Bill Nevitt, who pleasant voice and gentle accent is warm, well paced, conveying both emotion and action, and complete with appropriate individual character voicings. As always, a fine performance. His readings are always well worth hearing.

So how to rate this book? The narration kept me listening to the end but the emotional plus interplay between the main protagonists was not only irritating, it was truly off putting. I'm sure this would further enhance the book for some but not for me. So, perhaps somewhere in the middle.
My thanks, however, to the rights holder who,,at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy.

Great Book

The narrator done a great job telling the story. The story line is very entertaining. Great job! I’m looking forward to listening to the next book!

Can love survive this much turmoil

They survived a hurricane, it’s after effects, and one way or another they are going to piece together the murder of Donavan’s brother Ryan. Beth knows she is in love with this man she has only known for a short time. She loves him so much she will travel to the other side of the country, weather an earthquake, multiple murder attempts to help him solve this murder and give Donavan closure, clear there names and hopefully have a life together.
Thank you Bill Nevitt for gifting me this audible book though Audible Fixation on Facebook.

Love, crimes, and an earthquake

When it comes to natural disasters, Beth and Donovan have the worst luck. In Seismic Crimes, they face an earthquake, along with some nasty villains. The book takes a long time to get to the action (unless action means a lot of graphic sex to you), but once the book gets moving, it really moves.

Seismic Crimes is the second book in the series. I have listened to several of the books out of order, and I have not listened to the first book yet. I would imagine they would be better in order, but you can enjoy then independently as I did.

Recommended for adult readers only. Contains graphic sex scenes.

The narrator does a great job bringing the series to life.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

My first book from this author and it was great

A story of two very different people falling in love in the midst of murder and mayhem! With Mother Nature wreaking havoc and dirty cops committing murder, this story gets off to a fast start! I was able to listen to this while commuting and it was easy to keep up with use start and stop style listening. I’m excited to try to Chrys Fey.
The narrator did a phenomenal job keeping up with the many voice changes required. Took me a bit to be able to hear the differences ( new to audio books) but once I did, I was able to immerse myself fully into the story.
