Secrets

PsyCop, Book 4

By: Jordan Castillo Price

Narrated by: Gomez Pugh

Length: 5 hrs and 57 mins

Publisher's summary

Victor Bayne's job as a PsyCop involves tracking down dead people and getting them to spill their guts about their final moments. It's never been fun, per se. But it's not usually this annoying.

Vic has just moved in with his boyfriend Jacob, he can't figure out where anything's packed, and his co-worker is pressuring him to have a housewarming party.

Can't a guy catch a break?

On a more sinister note, Vic discovers there's absolutely no trace of him online. No trace of anyone else who trained at "Camp Hell," either. Everyone Vic knows has signed a mysterious set of papers to ensure his "privacy." The contracts are so confidential that even Vic has never heard of them. But Jacob might have.

What other secrets has Jacob been keeping?

Keeps getting better!!

I'm a long time fan of JCP and her PsyCop series (not to mention all her other books!) but hearing them performed by Gomez Pugh has elevated them to perfection. He IS Victor Bayne. I'll listen to these stories again and again. Jordan Castillo Price, PsyCop and Gomez Pugh are the best out there.

It's No Secret..... I Love This Series

What made the experience of listening to Secrets the most enjoyable?

As per usual, Gomez Pugh brings his 'A' game to this audio. I love the characterization of each voice. I can't imagine anyone other than him narrating this series.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Secrets?

I like the fact that Victor would protect Lisa from everyone, including Jacob and herself.

Which character – as performed by Gomez Pugh – was your favorite?

I love his version of Ms. Mattie. She's awesome.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Secrets and lies, much to despise....

Any additional comments?

Every book gets better and I anticipate the next one even before I finish the current one. They can't be released quickly enough for me. Great job Jordan and Gomez. Next please.

Victor, Cash, and Jacob

Which character – as performed by Gomez Pugh – was your favorite?

Cripes.

Would you consider the audio edition of Secrets to be better than the print version?

No, I don't prefer one over the other, they are just different ways to experience a book.

Have you listened to any of Gomez Pugh’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have all the books in this series, and he IS Vic, this book is no exception.

Any additional comments?

This series get better and better as we learn more about Vic and his background, as well as the way he grows with each book.

Well spent time

I love this series. I've been in search of a m/m book that isn't all lovey dovey. The relationship between the two main guys is romantic and hot but not unicorns and skittles sappy. Then there's the backdrop of sci-fi combining my favorite genres. Well worth your time.

It's just getting better and better!

Wow. Just. Wow.

When you think you know somebody….
In this story we see the boys move in together. But – really – that wasn’t as big a deal as I’d have expected it to be. Instead we get some weird stuff about Crash/Vic and Crash/Jacob. I think something is heading our way that will involve Crash more seriously in the future.

Lisa comes back – so – Yay! I love Lisa’s talent and how she and Vic are so good for one another. It’s wonderful that they can share the depth of their respective talents with each other since nobody else seems to be quite as – psychic?- as them.

Jacob was the shocker in this story. First, he seriously gets off on Vic’s talent. Way more than we’ve ever seen and it’s seriously HOT. Like, scorching. Second, seeing his reaction to the “perp” was startling. He always seemed so by the book and we see a different side of him here. In a way, it makes him more believable as Vic’s boyfriend. He’s far from perfect.

I’m always so impressed by Jordan’s imagination. She has some serious writing chops. Just when we’re knee deep in a deep, dark, sexual fog – Vic will tell us how much he loves Jacob and trusts him and finds him sweet. It really brings us back to the feels in the moment without losing the momentum of the sexual tension.

In any case – our boys solved the crime – super creatively – and the story deepens surrounding Camp Hell.



Audio

Gah! I love Gomez Pugh. He does a terrific job – again! I love Lisa. I love his “new” Jacob and thought the other secondary characters (Miss Mattie, Crash, Shepherd, Barnhardt) were fantastic.



PERFECTION!

Hot and habit forming

I love the characters and the story line of these books. I'm so glad I bought the first book and now four books down, I can't wait for number five. So while I'm waiting i think I'll check out other stories of This talented author.

The one where Vic gets drunk!

......4.5 Stars........Is it even possible to dislike a PsyCop book? So far, I’ve loved them all and am so happy that there are so many more awaiting me.

If you haven’t started this series, do it now. Really. If you’ve read this 4th book, you probably gave it 5 Stars, too. So. What’s left to say? It was nice to have Lisa back. There was a kick-ass sex scene in the beginning. Victor got drunk. Crash is PMing him. And Victor is looking for answers about his Camp Hell buddies.

Lisa

Lisa is back! Besides Victor she’s my favorite character, so I was very happy with her involvement in this latest case/ mystery. I just really like her psychic power and personality.
I liked getting to know Victor’s past better.
Looking forward continuing the series. (love the books are getting longer!)

Big compliments to the narrator, Gomez Pugh. I don’t think anyone could have done a better job.

I got this Audio Book for free (thanks!). I'm voluntarily leaving this review.
Opinions and ratings are my own and not influenced by how I got the Audio Book.

good

What I found interesting about Secrets is that we really get to see how very naive Victor has been about himself and his situation. It's not that I don't understand why, but it's nice to see him getting clean(ish) and seeing with clearer eyes. The mystery in the story is really secondary to the realities of living with Psyop abilities, which made for some interesting considerations. I was glad to see Jacob play a bigger role than in the last book. I still feel like he's a bit of a sexy, growling, biting, place-holder compared to the first books. Though I still adore him. But I'm hoping he'll come back into more detail as the series progresses.

Review for the PsyCop series

I hadn't read any of the PsyCop books before I listened to the series on Audible. I throughly enjoyed each story and Jordan's distinctive storytelling. I loved the premise of the series and thought the chemistry between Vic and Jacob was sizzling throughout. Gomez Pugh's performance was fabulous. His narration was spot on for each character. He differentiated each person clearly and made them come alive for me. I pictured everything going on in the scenes and recognized each character when they spoke. Jacob's voice was husky and so sexy. UNF! The production quality was excellent. I will definitely listen to all five superb stories again.

Good story

I love Victor even though he's a bit of a curmudgeon and Jacob is almost saintly for putting up with him. The storylines in this book are interesting and the narrator is excellent.

Enjoyable Story

A well written story with and interesting  concept.  The characters are likeable and the narration is very good.
