I've said that word before...Fantastic....and I mean it once again with every fiber of my being! This series is in my top five of all time and this book clinches that title! OMG, the action all the way through, the feels...Nicky James is such an incredible author and Nick Russo is the perfect narrator to bring her work to life. I am so sad that this one is coming to an end soon.

FANTASTIC!!!!

I was bored with the case and I didn’t like the new partner. The first four books in this series were amazing.

So sorry, but….

previous books were better. this does not mean, that the story is bad. in comparison, it's just not as interesting as others. but! the relationship between MC's...omg soooo good!!!! even the aspect with new partner is interesting. i was worried at first because i did not like her, but she grew on me (not that she is my favorite, but i understand her better now and tolerate her)

i liked previous books more than this one

I absolutely loved this latest book for Valor and Doyle! Do I say this every time? Yes, I do. Did I also need to relive in in audio? Yes, yes I did! This series just gets better and better with every book. There are so many feels and emotions in this book, and Nick Russo did an amazing job of bringing those to life for us once again. Nick has such a way with bringing Quaid and Aslan to life with each story. The emotions that Nick brings to this story, were really poignant this time around. Aslan continues to heal from his last case, facing demons from his past with Quaid by his side. I love how they continue to become closer, fall more in love, and seeing Aslan show his love for Quaid more often. The support Quaid provides Aslan as he works through his lingering fears and doubts is so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. Case wise, Quaid begins working a missing persons case with his new partner, Frawley. These two start off as oil and water, and manage to butt heads at every turn. They begin to find a bit of footing with each other, thanks to Aslan gently guiding Quaid. Their case is intense, intricate, and takes them digging in several directions. Aslan dabbles in some grunt work on this one while still on leave, as well as Ruiz, who is quickly becoming a favorite character of mine. His banter with Quaid is top notch, and Aslan even gets into the friendship mix with Ruiz. I loved the intricacies of the case, and I had great fun trying to figure it out with the rest of the team. Once again Nicky James has done a fantastic job weaving another wonderful tale for Aslan and Quaid. There could be 100 books with these two, and I would be just as eager to read the next! I am SO looking forward to their next book!!

This series gets better and better!

All these books have great stories and the narration by Nick Russo is amazing. The books are not perfect but the good definitely outweigh the bad.

Can’t wait for the next one
