Power of the Mind

Shadowy Solutions, Book 2

De: Nicky James

Narrado por: Nick J. Russo

It’s not a real case, he’s not my boyfriend, and we aren’t partners. Three lies I told myself for survival.

After ten months of shamefully stalking and showing up randomly on Tallus’s doorstep at midnight (for reasons), the sinfully hot records clerk decided he’d had enough of my games.

In fact, he went out of his way to bring me the most ridiculous case (it was not a case) on the planet as an excuse to push me over the line (he wanted a date). Our arrangement (hooking up) didn’t suit him any longer.

Could I say no? Of course not (this was Tallus).

Five days, I told him. Five days to prove his silly theory, then we were done.

Little did I know, Tallus had a deadline of his own.

Investigating a mind-controlling-murdering psychic was hard enough (because it was not a thing), but resisting Tallus’s charm was the real challenge.

It turned out, I was wrong about a few things.

The case might be a case after all.

Tallus had potential as a partner.

And after all was said and done…I wasn’t sure I could let him go.

ohhh Talus, will cause guns to go grey.

the dynamic duo is back. with more growls!

Diem and tallus make a good pair. when tallus isn't driving him up a wall. although significantly less baby (that's fine I'll cope) I can't wait to see the day that tallus holds her.

Russo's Gravely Diem is PERFECT!

If possible, I enjoyed this one more than the previous book. Tallus is just as quirky as ever. And poor, poor Diem. He has so much baggage. But the two make such an unlikely pair. From a somewhat romantic partnership to the PI partnership. There is development in both story lines and Nicky James does a phenomenal job telling their story. The mystery is intriguing. Their relationship is heart string tugging. I had a hard time putting this one down. I really do hope this series continues!

Updated for Audio:
Nick Russo's narration is awesome. His change in voice for Diem is PERFECT! I can't imagine what it did to his vocal cords, but it made this story so much better!

Excellent!

This series gets better and better. As always the story is top notch and the relationship between the MCs evolves at a good pace. Eagerly awaiting the next book. A solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ listen!

Cat and mouse, only better

Story: The chemistry and dynamics between Diem and Tallus are like a very entertaining game of cat and mouse and I loved every second of their interactions. I love how the author created their personalities and how thouroughly their whole personas "work" in the stories.
The plot outside their relationship was as always a top notch - I love all the twists, turns and riddles Nicky James prepared this time. The criminal part of those books never fails to amaze me.
Narration: Perfect performance as always! The voices create the personalities on an incredible level, adding a new dimension to the words.

Audio narration is excellent

I love Nicky James’s investigation novels. Nick J Russo does an amazing job distinguishing between characters- even the primaries from previous books.
