Deadly Silence

There was too much sex. the story line was ok but they never caught the cereal killer.

meh

the book was ok at best. predictable characters, definitely rolled my eyes several times. the reader had a whiney voice that drove me nuts. I use my audible for my hour commute each day, this served that purpose but overall not my favorite.

Blood Brothers take the Sin Brothers another level

Honestly, I don't prefer Karen White to narrate these romantic suspense. But in this book, she slays. Her voice for the characters, the various actions scenes were spot on. I listened to this book non-stop. I am so glad that I went ahead and preordered this one because it was one of the best books I've listened to all year. I think this narrator has finally won me over.

I loved the plot/writing and awesome narration by Karen White. Zanetti always gives fascinating characters. Here, the heroine Zara was another compelling one. She was bravery, smart and had a big heart. I love strong heroines and she was more than a match for Ryker. I think she definitely inherited all of that from her grandmother. Ryker Jones was a typical Zanetti hero. Alpha male, who is a protector and fiercely loyal to his loved ones. He is possessive, strong, intelligent, mysterious and just so sexy.

There was a lot going on in this book. There is a serial killer. There are three brothers who are hiding from a past and that past is catching up with them. Zara works for a law firm that represents unsavory people and thanks to a new case, Zara has gotten in the middle of some unpleasant people. Then throw in Ryker's situation where Ryker and his two brothers were being blackmailed and there just bad guys all around. Yet it is obvious all these single threads had a connection, it just a matter of connecting the dots.

I know many people say you don't have to read Sin Brothers, but I strongly urge you to read that series first. After all, you'd have to know Dr. Madison and the Commander and the Grey Brothers to truly appreciate the tie-in with this series. Greg and his subplot also would make more sense with the background from that series.
This book was such an exhilarating ride and I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters, the story and I am ecstatic for where this series is going. I can't wait for book 2 and the introduction of more "brothers".

I always wish her books were longer

I enjoyed this first book in this spin-off series of the Sin Brothers. I wish the story would have continued with more interaction between both sets of brothers. I just felt like the story suddenly stopped. I'm sure this is to set up the events of the next book but I am an impatient reader/listener . Most of the time, I won't even start a series until all if the books or a good number of the books are available.

I will mention, as other reviewers have, that even though the summary says that this is a stand alone series, I strongly recommend that you read/listen to the Sin Brother series before you start this series. if you don't, you will not understand the motives of several characters and may even be confused about the setting and won't even understand the motives and history of the "PROTECT" group. Actually, if I hadn't enjoyed the Sin Brothers series first, I'm pretty sure I would be lost during 60% of this book.

solid 4 stars

I really liked it on all fronts. the story was good, descriptive, exciting. I'm not sure why everyone is hating on the narrator. she's not perfect and has odd pauses sometimes but for the most part she's a solid narrator.
