Great story

I am a huge Armand fan, so of course I had to get this series! Love the characters and storyline. This is also my favorite narrator. This will be another great series! So happy I own them all. Now to get them all on Audible. Lol

Very good

Great writing, now I’m hooked and need to get the rest of the books in this series . I enjoyed

Fast Paced Action Filled Ride!

I really enjoyed this story! It has all the elements of a great read! Memorable and unique characters, a gorgeous backdrop, witty conversations and I loved that the main crew works at a Repo business! They see the different side of life. The story is fast paced and always has something going on. This is my first book by this author. I was captured by the beginning and held on tight until that last chapter. This is loaded with action, suspense and drama. It is a wonderful start to this series. I look forward to reading more of the adventures of these guys.

Narration is well done and easy to listen to. Jack de Golia is a first time narrator for me.

Strong story and performance

A former ex-cop now in the repo business, Clayton (never Clay!), is trying to right some wrongs with his family. However, the local cartel is making it more difficult than he had anticipated. Now he must protect his family and friends while also defeating the bad guys.

Armand Rosamilia, the author, weaves a thrilling story with unique named locations and well-developed characters. The plot was well constructed with solid plot twists to keep you listening. Rosamilia has a talent for creating characters that are realistic and practical.

The narrator, Jack de Golia, gives a strong performance. His unique voices and he uses his skill at pitch and cadence to project the action and situations. I have heard several books performed by de Golia and he never disappoints!

Overall, this is a good solid, and interesting thriller mystery with strong characters. Combined with a strong voice actor, you won’t go wrong with this book. I highly recommend this new series.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook. It was clear and crisp.

A fun ride thriller that keeps you captivated!

This was definitely a fun ride from beginning to end. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. There were even some little elements from the Dirty Deeds series thrown in tying the world together that made it that much more enjoyable for an any avid reader of this author's books. It's definitely one I would recommend and I'm looking forward to the next one in the series!
