In the Shadows

Metahuman Files, Book 3

By: Hailey Turner

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

Never trust the spy who loves you.

Staff Sergeant Alexei Dvorkin has a history with spies that typically ends with most of them dead. But Agent Sean Delaney is proving to be the frustrating exception to every one of Alexei’s rules of engagement. As part of Alpha Team’s long-running mission to stop an enemy metahuman, the two are constantly forced to work together, resulting in a simmering attraction neither can ignore.

When the MDF tasks them with finding evidence of criminal wrongdoing against the owner of a private military company, Sean knows exactly how to play the game to win. But it’s one thing to con the enemy, quite another to con his own heart. When the mission goes sideways, Sean must put his life in Alexei’s dangerously capable hands and hope their burgeoning relationship doesn’t go up in flames.

Loves these characters

This is another great book in the series. The characters are complex and they all work together to create a great team. Their missions are exciting and full of action!! Can’t wait to listen to the next one!!

Great book!

This is an exciting installment in the awesome Metahuman Files series. Alexei and Sean finally get together, and they're sexy and surprisingly funny together. Alexei is cocky as always, but he is also protective and witty. Sean deals with the guilt over lying to his family for years, and he is basically alone and lonely until the sexy Russian sets his sights on him. I am so glad they don't have a lot of unnecessary angst in their relationship, because there's plenty of drama in Sean and Alpha Team's latest mission.
Along with a terrific storyline, we have the fantastic performance of a narrator who always takes a great book to an even higher level. I am loving this series and have already recommended it to friends.

Loved it

I’m really enjoying the evolution of the Metahuman Files Series. This book is definitely a bit more tamer then the previous two books but that was perfectly fine with me. I enjoyed getting to see different sides to both Sean and Alexei. Greg did a fantastic job like always. I’m a big fan of his Alexei voice. Can’t wait for the next audio!!

Even better than the first two

In the Shadows is the third book of Hailey Turner’s Metahuman Files series. Events in this book build on those from the first two and while a complete story, there are ongoing story arcs so you’ll definitely want to listen to them all & in order. As such, there may be spoilers to previous books in my review.

I enjoyed this one even more that the first two (which I already praised highly). I think partially because the world building is established and Turner has given us some characters and story arcs to really sink into and get to know even better. I already liked Sean & Alexei, but them getting together was a wonderful experience. Plus, Turner has this great mix of suspense/thriller, romance, and a little bit of humor. The action scenes were unstoppable.

I’m really looking forward to In The Blood.

Narration:
Greg Boudreaux continues to be wonderful. And this is a chance to really enjoy his Russian accent skills. I also like that character voices from previous books are consistent. Makes this series absolutely bingeworthy.

Great series

This is the third book in the Metahuman Files series by Hailey Turner and narrated superbly by Greg Boudreaux. The story revolves around Metahumans who are the survivors of terrorist attacking using a chemical known as splice. The survivors gain powers which when applied in a military division become incredibly useful. The first two books in the series focused on Jamie and Kyle but this book focused on two other characters allowing the reader to learn more about the others in the group.

Really love Greg Boudreaux and his ability to provide distinct voices to each character. He is performing the book and not simply reading it aloud like many narrators tend to do.
