Prince of Killers

Fog City Series, Book 1

No indiscriminate killing. No collateral damage. No unvetted targets.

These are the rules Hawes Madigan lives by. Rules that make being Fog City's Prince of Killers bearable. Soon, he'll be king - of an organization of assassins - and the crown has never felt heavier. Until the mysterious Dante Perry swaggers into his life.

Dante looks like a rock god and carries himself like one, too, all loose-limbed and casually confident. He also carries a concealed weapon, a private investigator's license, and a message for the prince. Someone inside Hawes' organization is out to kill the future king.

In the chaos that follows the timely warning, Hawes comes to depend on Dante. On his skills as an investigator, on the steadiness he offers, and on their moments alone when Hawes lets Dante take control. As alliances are tested and traitors exposed, Hawes needs Dante at his back and in his bed. But if the PI ever learns Hawes' darkest secret, Hawes is sure to get a knife to the heart - and a bullet to the brain - instead.

Contains mature themes.

Cliffhanger ending

I wish there had been a cliffhanger warning, I would have altered my expectations. The story was entertaining

Good start to hopefully great series

4 Blue Roses
3.5 Blue Flames

Narrator Tristan James gave a good, performance. His cadence and different voices are good. At times I do feel a little bothered by his lack of emotion, but overall I love the sound of his voice and I think its fitting for the genre.

Sexy, action packed crime mystery. This was such a treat for me. I love vigilantes and I love crime families. The book kicked of extremely fast and I hoped it's because the next book will give us more in depth look at the different characters. I was not able to connect emotionally to any of them. I felt the Prince was too trusting and inexperienced and very unsure of himself. This made me latch onto Dante and I kind of hoped he get his revenge. The Prince in my eyes is an idiot who doesn't deserve to be King.
The book does end in a cliffhanger. I hope the next audiobook come out soon, I would hate to wait another year to hear the next one.
The sex scenes are hot M/M action. It was a little too short, I hoped the book was a little longer with more world building and character development. It is fresh and promising.

I do recommend this audiobook as part of the series. The cliffhanger is horrible.
Happy Listening.

number 2?

ok, if there's not a follow-up, then I'm way gonba be way pissed. good story. good narration

Plenty of twists and turns

This writer captured my attention and enticed me to want to know more. In addition, I'm eager to listen to the next book in this series. As usual, narrator was perfect.

Decent story. Good narration.

I was entertained. I liked the idea of the story, but I had a few issues with the execution. The action scenes were stagey and over-the-top. That can be fun in an action movie, but it didn’t quite work for me in a serious romance story. Virtually none of the characters stayed in character. I just don't believe that the head of a family of assassins would act that way.

Without adding spoilers, I will just declare, "That’s not how that works. That’s not how any of that works. " Sometimes a background in engineering can really interfere with my ability to suspend disbelief, especially when explosives are at play.

I really like the narrator. I also liked Dante. He is the only character I liked. I will keep listening because I want to know more about Dante.
