Holmes

Publisher's Summary

The battle of survival against the invading aliens heats up...but Hell Squad never quits.

General Adam Holmes' life is dedicated to keeping his small band of survivors alive. On the run, with only Hell Squad and the other soldiers for protection, they are making their last dangerous drive to the secret stronghold of the Enclave. But there are a lot of aliens between them and their destination, and the survivors are tired, worn, and at the end of their limits. Adam feels the pressure dragging him down, but as their leader, he can't be their friend and he can't dump his burden on anyone else.

Long before the alien invasion, Liberty Lawler survived her own personal hell. Since then, she's vowed to enjoy everything life has to offer and she's managed to do that, even in the middle of an apocalypse. She does what she can to help the survivors in her convoy, but one man holds himself apart, working tirelessly for them all. Liberty can see Adam is at his breaking point and she vows to tear through his rigid control and save him from himself.

But the aliens are throwing everything they have at the humans, trying to stop them from reaching the Enclave. Adam will find his resolve tested and the pressure higher than ever. But it will be one beautiful woman - one who won't take no for an answer and who worms under his skin - who can save them all and give him the strength to go on.

Another great book in the Hell Squad Series

SciFi dystopian romance action. you name it, it's here. Another fun listen and read!! I have a couple fav scenes from this book !

leaders need love too

Reading the story of general Adam Holmes was definitely well worth the wait.
As the leader of the blue mountain base survivors, Adam Holmes feels the pressure to get everyone to safety, with no one to ease his burden. Until Liberty Lawler sees past his cool detachment to the red-blooded man he is. The tension is palpable and irresistible, even as Adam tries to keep his desires at bay.

For seven books, I have read/listened to bits of Adam's story and wondered about him and now Anna Hackett has delivered an engrossing story that makes me love this world even more.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

A great rendition of Holmes

Would you listen to Holmes again? Why?

This is a story and a performance I could easily enjoy listening to again. These excellent readings bring this great story to life.

Good story but....

BOOK REVIEW........
This book was not a favorite. I like the characters of Homes and of Liberty a lot but the pair together was just missing something. I didn't really feel a connection between them. Plus Homes's attitude towards getting involved with her really dragged the story down. Yes he's in charge of everyone's safety and well being, we get that but come on just because you fall in love doesn't mean that everything and everyone else in your life no longer matters to you. His inner whining about not being able to be in a relationship because he needs to focus only on his people, got old real fast. I just wanted to reach through the book and smack the hell out of him. Also I think the Claudia issue was smoothed over way to easily. I would have like more dialogue there. Deciding to give her over to the aliens was a big deal. Yes it all worked out in the end but still there should have been some resentment towards him or something by somebody. I mean it's one thing to decide your own fate but for another to decide it for you is entirely different. I just thought there should be more.

NARRATOR REVIEW......
The narrator did a good job with bringing the characters to life.

Any additional comments?

I loved catching up,with the characters in this series. I really enjoy this author and her servers.

Love it!

This is the next in the Hell Squad saga and it is fantastic. Samantha Cook & Jeffrey Kafer do a spectacular job bringing this book to life. I was drawn into the story from the first line and it was done before I realized it. If you have fallen in love with any of the previous books, this one might just take the top spot. As with the rest of the series, the characters are well developed and the type that makes you cheer for their successes and fight to breath when all looks dark.
I can't wait for the next book!
