Publisher's summary

A tomcat, a psychopath, and a psychic walk into the desert to rescue the men they love.... Can everybody make it out with their skin intact?

PI Jackson Rivers and Defense Attorney Ellery Cramer have barely recovered from last November, when stopping a serial killer nearly destroyed Jackson in both body and spirit. But their previous investigation poked a new danger with a stick, forcing Jackson and Ellery to leave town, so they can meet the snake in its den.

Jackson Rivers grew up with the mean streets as a classroom, and he learned a long time ago not to give a damn about his own life. But he gets a whole new education when the enemy takes Ellery. The man who pulled his shattered pieces from darkness and stitched them back together again is in trouble, and Jackson’s only chance to save him rests in the hands of fragile allies he barely knows.

It’s going to take a little bit of luck to get these Few Good Fish out alive!

This episode really changes things up. Don't want to do the spoiler thing, but some relationships are really under severe stress and there's even a Rabbi. Still lots of blood and action. Fantastic addictive series!
And the narration by voice actor Greg Tremblay knocks it up more than a notch!

:) love it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Greg Tremblay is one of the most fantastic narrators. He makes every story beautiful with his voice.
The story itself was also great and I loved the characters.

Awesome

Really loved this audiobook. This series is a favourite, I hope the other 2 books in this series eventually get made into audiobooks too

Amazing! But Read 'Racing for the Sun' first

This is an incredible story, like all of the others in this series! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it! There are a lot of characters that are new to this series like Ace and Sunny, whose stories begin in a Racing for the Sun. While this book is thoroughly enjoyable without understanding their backstories, the feelings you get from some of the dialogue and the empathy is so much deeper when you understand the dynamics of the tiny garage And what those characters have been through! If I'm being completely honest, I listened to this book, went back and listened to Racing for the Sun, and relistened to it, finished the next book which is basically the same story from a different point of view (still incredible) and then came back to review this! The next time I listen to this series I will start with racing for the Sun, go through the first two books and then listen to this book and hiding the moon at the same time so I can get a real feel for the timeline. I love this series and I love Amy Lane! Greg Boudreaux as always did an amazing job narrating! Nick j Russo narrates hiding the moon and racing for the sun, and he and Greg Boudreaux complement each other exceptionally well! Thank you three for giving me a break from real life!

Overall Rating: 5+++ Stars

A Few Good Fish is book 3 in Amy Lane’s Fish Out of Water series. This is absolutely one of my favorites and one of the best series I have ever read, or listened to. This series, absolutely, MUST be read in order. I know, I always say that, but I’ve never meant it more than I do now. This series follows Jackson and Ellery and each book builds upon the previous one. If you’re a fan of this series, you probably thought the author was done putting Jackson and Ellery in dangerous situations, both emotionally and physically. If you were crazy enough to think that, you ARE SO WRONG!

It’s been a rough few months for Jackson and Ellery and things aren’t getting easier. Jackson thought he had suffered through pain before, but he learns there’s something more painful than physical pain, and that’s Ellery’s pain. This storyline continues from previous ones so I’m not going to get into the details or give anything away but Jackson and Ellery still have a lot to clean up. And the hits are coming at them from all sides.

But, no matter what they have to endure, Jackson and Ellery come away stronger as a couple. And, in this book, their future has been mentioned and for me, that felt huge! I love watching the family that Jackson, Cameron and Jade are building because it isn’t just one of them, it’s still all of them. And I loved having Ellery’s family more involved in this book! I’ve always been a fan of Lucy Satan, aka Taylor, but getting time with Ellery’s dad and getting to know him, was just icing on the top!

The audio version of this series is just as good and possibly better than reading the book. Greg Tremblay does a fantastic job bringing it to life. Even when I read one of these books in the series, it’s Greg’s voice narrating it in my head. He perfectly performs each and every character! They each have their own voice so you can just immerse yourself into the story.

I love Jackson and Ellery together, especially in this book. If you haven’t read or listened to this series, I can’t stress how highly I recommend you do so now. The author has done a masterful job of building this series. I would love, love, love if the author would continue her series. With the new project Jackson, Ellery and Jade have coming, the series could follow their cases. Maybe with a little (or a lot) less abuse to Jackson and Ellery, but I foresee great things for their future!

This book and series get all the stars there are! Seriously, read or listen to it and it will become one of your favorites too!

great book to read

loved it. story line was great. can't wait for the next book to come out in audio.

Ellery and Jackson

Absolutely love these two characters. The story line and additional characters make Amy’s book heartfelt with the addition of humor makes for really enjoyable reading. Greg Tremblay is the perfect narrator for ALL the characters.

This series keeps getting better and better!

Now I need to go back and read the other book that features Sonny and Ace’s story

A brilliant action packed thriller/romance.

A Few Good Fish is the third audiobook in the Fish Out of Water series by Amy Lane. It continues on from the previous novels in the series which should really be listened to in order. Amy Lane does smoothly include relevant snippets of events from the previous novels to make sure new listeners aren’t confused, however these stories are so riveting and well written that it would do this one an injustice to listen to it as a stand-alone.

Ellery Cramer is criminal defence attorney in one of the top law firms in Sacramento. On the advice of his high flying, slightly controlling, corporate lawyer mother he is forging a career that will pay very well and set him up for life. Coming from a happy, well-to-do, family Ellery has never had to deal with life’s harsher realities. Some of his clients and a very special co-worker have, however, introduced Ellery to a whole other, much darker world. In the period since he first formed a relationship with Jackson, the firm’s P.I., Ellery’s life has been a constant struggle to keep him, and their relationship, safe. Falling in Love was easy, surviving to enjoy their future together, not so much.

With a drug addicted mother and an absent father Jackson Rivers barely survived his childhood or his first career as a police officer. Life as a P.I. at a top tier law firm should be a piece of cake, but with the new job comes new enemies, some of whom haunt him from his past, and surviving adulthood is looking just as dicey.

In A Few Good Fish we find Jackson and Ellery recovering from a run in with a particularly evil and suspiciously well trained serial killer. A new threat in the form of a psychopathic naval officer with secrets he’ll kill to keep has emerged and the rest and recreation these incredible young men deserve is looking more and more like a pipe dream. This time it’s not just Jackson under the gun and it will take the help of some very unlikely characters, and all of their family and friends, if Ellery and Jackson are to make it out alive.

Amy Lane has written some of my favourite novels in the MM genre. This incredibly fast paced. and riveting, edge of your seat thriller/romance is among her best. I adore the MC’s and the extraordinary cast of characters surrounding them. Ellery’s mother is intelligent, witty, feisty and fabulous and a particular favourite of mine, but the loyalty and fierceness of Jackson’s made family is a joy to observe as well. Amy Lane is masterful at writing novels with fully fleshed out characters and A Few Good Fish is no exception.

Greg Tremblay is one of my favourite narrators. He is a voice actor at the very top of his game and in A Few Good Fish he gifts the listener with an impeccable performance that completely immerses you in the story. Greg’s voice characterisations; male, female, young, old, accents, personality, emotions; the works; are so pitch perfect that you’ll completely forget that there isn’t a large, brilliantly cast, group of actors performing. When you disappear into the world he creates it’s like living inside the lives of the characters. As a listener the real world just fell away, which is exactly what I want from an audiobook.

The combination of Amy Lane’s storytelling and Greg Tremblay’s performance made for a sublime listening experience.

Highly recommended.

What a team

What an odd conglomeration of "friends" Ellory and Jackson have accumulated - and thank God for it - because it takes almost all of them to survive the trouble they find themselves enmeshed in. Ellory and Jackson are still hurling snark and sarcasm between bullets and chasing down the bad guys.

I absolutely love Greg Tremblay and his abilities as a narrator. He is able to convey every emotion and vocal tone required with skill and style. I yawned practically every time a character did, felt the love behind Ellory's and Jackson's snarky comments, and shivered when I heard the ice in the villain's voice.

There is a scene in a church that is stunning in its writing and delivery. What a team.
