Nothing Special VII: EX Meridian

Nothing Special Series, Book 7

By: A. E. Via

Narrated by: Aiden Snow

Length: 8 hrs and 33 mins

Publisher's Summary

Take a man and strip him of his ability to feel compassion, empathy, remorse, or any of the emotions that make him human, but leave the ones that ignite rage and aggression and you have the perfect killing machine - now imagine two of them.   

Code names Ex and Meridian are synonymous for "guaranteed death" to international terrorists. Two broken men from the same crooked streets, recruited into an unsanctioned government program that few know about. Trained to operate most efficiently - lethally - together.   

When Ex returns from an op in Bolivia to learn his little brother has been accidentally killed in a feud between drug gangs, he's stateside before he can consider the rules he'll be breaking, and of course Meridian is right beside him. There's mayhem on the streets of Atlanta and the police are losing control. If Godfrey and his elite team of detectives can't get the job done, then they'd be happy to lighten their caseloads for them. And neither Ex nor Meridian cares about doing it quietly.   

Contains mature themes.

My second favorite couple

Ex and Meridian are an amazing couple. They are fire and ice and the fire between them is scorching. The ruthlessness while still having a sense of mortality is a trait AE Via has perfected. Besides God and Days first book this is my favorite. I have an HR left of the book and wish I could go back and re listen to it all over again!

another hit

AE Via just keeps doing what she does best with EX Meridian which is give you thrilling, action packed romance with a great plot and characters. And as always the fabulous Aiden Snow delivers a spectacular narration performance.

Just When You Think It Can’t Get Better

I loved the book and loved the audio more. Ex and Meridian are such strong MCs. Introducing them along side the Nothing Special family is genius. Aiden Snow is a phenomenal narrator who gets progressively better with every book. I can’t wait for the next book and hope to see Ex and Meridian again!

Spectacular as always

I can honestly say as I was reading and listening to this book I was hoping that it never ends. But glad to know that this is not the end of Nothing Special series. I hope Aiden snow continues to narrate all of your books he does such a wonderful job with them. I hope some of your other books become available on audible as well. Thank you for not just the romance but the action packed as well.

Ex Meridian Is Everything!

Reading this was great. Hearing Aiden Snow read it was the ultimate experience. Love AE!!!!

OMG....so hot 🔥

I listen all 7 of the books right now, I need more please please more, I listen to them over and over. Love everything about these books. OK I'm waiting for book 8 👍👍🥂🇧🇧

Great

As always A.E.Via doesn't disappoint. Aden Snow narration was on point. You can always tell which character is talking. EX and Meridian's story was good, love how their background stories were told. I purchased the book first and I couldn't wait until it was available as an audible book. I hope to see where this goes on the snitch in the force. So excited about a next book?

good

this book was ok l like the second and the six one the best I was wondering is fox going to get a book or any of heart team member

enjoyed all 7 books!!

i loved it..the narration was good, a nice voice. after 7 books you can really get into these characters. They are a tight niche interesting group. Ex and Merdian fit with the story line well, they have awesome skill. I hope there is another book an 8th book would be ok...i highly recommend!!!

So so so Good!!!

Oh this was just so good! I wasn't sure how 2 new characters were going to be woven into my beloved Nothing Special world, but it was so expertly done by Ms. Via. First let me start with Ex and Meridian...these two were super alphas, bad ass, military trained operatives that have been working together and off the grid for 8 years. Trained to be super killing machines, devoid of attachments and emotions. That did not stop them from letting their love for each other come through. Their romance was a sweet, slow burn amidst the intensity of trying to bring a killer to justice. Their relationship was intense, strong and sexy as hell!
They were working on a "case" in Atlanta and crossed paths with God, Day and the whole gang! It made my heart so happy. The storyline was gripping, the action was so good and kept me on the edge of my seat and we got heavy interaction with God, Day, Syn, Roux, Green, Steele, Tech, Michaels, Judge, Hart and Free...it was splendid!
As in true AE Via style, the action was intense and gripping, the love between all these men was strong and present and the payoff was fabulous! The last 2 bonus scenes at the end were simply splendid. She knocked this out of the park!
As always I just cannot imagine anyone but Aiden Snow bringing this series to life. He does tough, alpha males like no one else...raw, gritty, emotional, intense with that underlying compassion they all have. He was just perfect!

Stunning addition to s fantastic series

Aiden Snow’s voice is absolutely mesmerizing and brings AE Via’s guys to life.

Ms Via outdid herself with this book and I really hope to see more of Ex and Meridian

10 out of 5 stars!

Story: Holy smokes! This book is a 10 out of 5 stars for me!
Let me start with saying that the plot of the book is really well thought out and the sequence of events makes the suspence a constant throughout the whole story - there is no reprieve! Putting the book down was painful!
I loved how balanced the story was - we get a healthy dose of action, criminals and justice soldiers, but it is perfectly interrupted by the evolution of the relationship between MCs. The multiple POV narration makes it for a very well presented story! Loved it in every detail and there was not a scene that felt redundant.
And now onto to the sweet cherry on top of the cake: the romance part. This book is not for the faint of heart! You get enough pining and tension between Ex and Meridian, to cut it with a knife (a very sharp one at that). All the emotions are presented in a way that sucks you in and makes you feel like you are the one experiencing them! The characteristics of both MCs are really unique and the author put a huge challenge for herself in presenting them in a way that didn't feel exaggerated. And the challenge was eaten for breakfast! I loved every second of getting to know these tough guys!
All in all, the book was just one beautiful bundle of awesomeness and masterfull writing! It has been a while since I felt compelled to sing a book such detailed praises!

Narration: Aiden Snow did an absolutely awesome job narrating this gem. Everything fit the story perfectly!

Brilliant

Mor3 please. I haven't met character I dont love in this series. Great narration as always🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Elevated by the narration

I already knew I liked the book as I have read it in print, but good lord does Aiden Snow elevate it into something else entirely! His voice suits perfectly, with Ex’s and Meridian’s characters taking on distinctly different personas and a story that grips early and keeps your attention throughout.

Enjoyable Story

The concept is interesting and well written. The characters are likeable and the narration is good.

Very good!

This was a good book but the narration really makes it so much better that I think it would have worked just as well as a standalone.

Aiden Snow's voice is amazing and his narration was excellent.

not enough stars available

The story is always 4-5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. Aiden Snow is one of the top 5 narrators (so far) for me to follow and I hope to get a lot more books from him. And really, his SEXY and DEEP RUMBLING VOICE is something you DON'T want to miss!!
I'm just not yet finish with the book, just over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

This series just keeps getting better and better!

Ex and Meridian are fantastic additions to the Nothing Special universe. Both men are highly trained, super effective black ops agents in Atlanta for a specific reason. Turns out, that they feel they need to raise a little hell on a personal mission whilst there. God really has his work cut out with these guys in his city amidst other troubles with his department's busts not being prosecuted. Don't worry, though, in God we trust...

Aiden Snow continues his amazing portrayal of the Nothing Special characters...great voice and another brilliant performance.
