About this listen
Book 1 in the best-selling Bite Back series "Vampires are the flickering illusions of Hollywood. They don't exist. We do. We are the Athanate."
For Amber Farrell, post-military life as a PI has its ups and downs: She's been hit by a truck. She's being sued by a client. Denver's newest drug lord just put out a contract on her. The sinister Athanate want her to come in for a friendly chat. And it's only Tuesday. Enter Jennifer Kingslund: rich, gorgeous - a tough businesswoman who's known for getting what she wants in the boardroom and the bedroom. Someone's trying to sabotage her new resort and destroy her company - and she wants Amber to find out who. The answers lead Amber past Were and Adept, right back to the Athanate - and a centuries-old war that could threaten not just Denver, but the nation that Amber swore to protect and serve. And all sides want to claim her for their own...

Story
I’m Jinx. As a private investigator, being a walking, talking lie detector is a useful skill—but let’s face it, it’s not normal. You’d think it would make my job way too easy, but even with my weird skills, I still haven’t been able to track down my parent’s killers. When I’m hired to find a missing university student, I hope to find her propped up at a bar—yet my gut tells me there’s more to this case than a party girl gone wild.

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin. When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently. This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Bounty hunter John Smoke never liked the rules. As a result of his overly aggressive - and often illegal - arrest methods, he ended up behind bars. But the Bureau won't let him be. Placed in the able care of beautiful, tough-as-nails Sidney Shaw, his new FBI handler, Smoke needs to alter his loose-cannon ways to remain a free man. But there is an unchecked evil festering deep in the heart of the nation's capital, a shadow conspiracy that won't be defeated with a by-the-book approach to law enforcement.

I run my business by one simple rule: Everyone needs a good book and a stiff drink, be they vampire, wicche, demon, or fae. No wolves, though. Ever. I serve the supernatural community of San Francisco. We've been having some problems lately. Okay, I'm the one with the problems. The broken body of a female werewolf washed up on my doorstep. What makes sweat pool at the base of my spine, though, is realizing the scars she bears are identical to the ones I conceal.

My name's Lyra Ridley, and I run headlong into supernatural danger for a living. When a criminal has magic too dangerous to merely lock up, we send them to a blackout prison. Hell would've been a better destination for this guy. As a lowly cop in the LVMPD's Rapid Response unit, I'm used to dealing with all kinds of dumpster-fire scenarios, from drunk salamanders on a building-melting bender and angry manticore landlords threatening to eat tenants' gallbladders in lieu of payment to human summoners calling up monsters from the deep to impress their girlfriends to name a few.

Elena Michaels is the world’s only female werewolf. And she’s tired of it. Tired of a life spent hiding and protecting, a life where her most important job is hunting down rogue werewolves. Tired of a world that not only accepts the worst in her–her temper, her violence—but requires it. Worst of all, she realizes she’s growing content with that life, with being that person.

Ari had a game plan for life: shoot people. Get money. Hang out with fellow criminal friends. He saw absolutely no reason to change that plan until one dark night in Memphis, when a little girl reached out to him with pocket change and a desperate plea for him to help her. Adopting an abused little girl off the streets was, needless to say, not part of the plan. Ari had no idea what he was doing with an eight year old. He especially didn’t know how to juggle taking contracts and raising a little girl.

Great book, snooze narrator
The book was absolutely fantastic - great urban fantasy with all the right ingredients, plus a kick-ass heroine. However, I had to stop "listening" to it and go to reading on my kindle instead. The narrator was just so freakin' monotone, I literally kept nodding off, seriously - in a book so full of action?! Anyway, loved the book and just purchased the next in series (NEW narrator - YAY!!!).

New series to painfully wait for the next one.
Would you listen to Sleight of Hand again? Why?
I very much enjoyed this book and will most likely listen again when the next book in the series is coming available for a refresher.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sleight of Hand?
Over all I liked the characters and the fact that this is strong female lead with earned skills.
What about Kimberly Henrie’s performance did you like?
She did a fine job. I can hear other readers read it as well. There are a few pronunciation issues that she could work on but it wasn't bad at all. Amanda Ronconi, might add a little sass Ms. Henrie left on the table.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I was excited to hear what happened next.
Any additional comments?
I love finding a new series but hate waiting for the next book to become available. SO HURRY UP Mr. HENWICK!!!!!

Best yet!
this book really shoes the human / warewolf relationship and its challenges and benefits on a purely "human" level...
the relationship between Anna and Charles continues to grow and has a real depth to it. sure they are passionate people but it take a second place to the story which should be the first thing ina good book.
if you want a harlequin sex book with no plot and little story...this isn't your book.
BUT, if.you love a good story with a real relationship in with the story...this is the Best one for you. I hope the author continues this series as its become one of my favorites!!!

It’s no Kate Daniels
This book was suggested to me as something I may like, since I read a lot of Ilona Andrews. While the book is decent, it’s not the same caliber as IA. I liked the premise of this book, but the execution was left wanting. There was too much information and too little, all at once. I also could not help but feel that the book was very evidently written by a man, trying to be a woman. I’ve seen many reviews bashing the narrator. I actually thought her performance was pretty good. I don’t believe I will purchase anymore books in this series. And maybe not from this author, either. The glowing reviews already lead me astray once.

One of the best Urban Fantasy series out there!
What is so great about this series?
1. An intelligent, kickass female lead who is mature and tough enough to play with the big dogs!
2. A surprising number of fantasy/SF fans are adults and yet so many of the books are written for a young audience and are full of teenage angst. Not this one. Adults and YA alike will not be disappointed.
3. Many wonderful characters drive this story and the rest of the series. I love a rich, complex, original plot (which Sleight of Hand certainly has) but I also need good guys to admire and scary bad guys. Relationships, personal challenges to overcome, wounds to heal, friendships to forge and sexy romantic scenes. I also like that there are both younger and older characters and they are of all ethnicities.
4. Amber is a PI who was previously a sergeant in a secret army special ops unit. She was bitten by a vampire and is under observation by the army. She is resisting the change to fanginess but is starting to lose the battle. That's all I'm going to say about the plot except there is plenty of action and the vampires are actually called Athanate.
5. This is a strong beginning to a series that gets better with each book. The narrator is good. Part of my criteria for a good series is that it stands up to repeated listening and this one does. I'm almost embarrassed to admit how many times I have listened to it.
6. My only real complaint is that I want more, sooner. Could you please write faster, Mark Henwick?

Awesome Detective/Mystery with touch of Paranormal
I loved this book!! There are more in series but not on Audible 😭. Good news is that this was a complete novel and while obviously intended to be an ongoing series - there was no cliffhanger.
The narrator, Kimberly Henrie, did a great job! All the characters were distinctive and appropriate. I hope Audible will obtain the rest of this series and with Ms. Henrie narrating.
The synopsis is available on Audible so there is no need to waste space here retelling it. I'll just say that it was extremely well written - both the story and the writing itself. Never once did I find myself cringing from poor grammar or sentence structure. The story was engaging from the very start. I was NEVER bored - which is a rare thing. Although the main character was female, the author never once had her do anything stupid. As an intelligent female myself, I am extremely thankful to Mark Henwick for the creation of the creation of Amber Ferrell. I've never understood why so many female writers create such annoying female protagonists who are either total uh... witches or simply "Too Stupid To Live".
It was a pleasure listening to this book! I listened into the wee hours of the night until I forced myself to put it down last night for essential sleep before picking up again this morning.
This book is DEFINITELY WORTH A CREDIT or an outright BUY.
AUDIBLE: Please approach Mr. Henwick to release the rest of this series on audio.

Enjoyable and hard to put down.
I usually listen to my audiobooks while driving an hour to and from work each way. Sleight of Hand is the first book in a long time where I was enjoying the story so much, that I continued to listen while doing other things at home! Looking forward to listening to the next book in the series soon.

Fantastic series!!!!
I bought the first book not really believing the good reviews…but I was rooked from the start. This is a fast paced, action packed story and I love how well developed the characters are. Amazing, definitely worth a credit!
