USA Today best-selling author, Casi McLean's new Deep State Mystery, The List – Alyssa’s Revenge, is a fast paced, cross-genre novel that combines supernatural, romantic suspense, and an NCIS mystery into a stunning thriller. Evil oozes from the story as she takes us on an incredible journey through the underbelly of society.

When her fiancé is injured in Afghanistan, Harper Drake immerses herself in her military career. Now, as NCIS Director, she heads a secret faction, fighting corruption and terrorism — until she’s abducted by a trafficking cartel.

Wyatt Rose can’t overcome his loss — especially after his sister’s murder. When the New Patriots recruit him, he finds a traumatized girl that spirals him down a rabbit hole of conspiracy, drug smugglers, and slavery.

Obsessed with revenge, can a ghost save Wyatt and Harper before her rage explodes, or will she spin them all through the gates of Hell?

When revenge sparks danger — karma is hell!

"So many twists and subplots pepper this suspense, but they all come together into a tapestry of amazing imagination and powerful writing! Casi McLean has pulled off another genre bending tale that will draw readers in like bees to honey!" (ToMeTender Book Blog Reviews)

"Casi McLean takes us on an incredible journey through the underbelly of society…[the reality of] a 15-year-old caught in the web of human trafficking…and a supernatural element I couldn’t put down." (N.N. Light’s Book Heaven)

I loved it!!!! I was into it from the first to the last. The book is well written and flows well. The narrator was very, very good. I wish I had gotten book 1 first, then I would have known more of what was going on, but I caught on quickly. The characters were written well and had the best of intentions for all they did. Human Trafficking is a huge problem all over the world and the author has a good grasp of the problem. Throw in a ghost with awesome powers and it just gets better and better. And then you have a love story completed during the whole thing and it is just wonderful. I will be looking for more.

I received a copy of this audio book for free from story origin for an honest review.

Although it has a ghost it's still a great story. The connection between the siblings is awesome. The terrifying journey that Harper chose to save the children was a nail biter. And once again I loved the dog. A very entertaining story

A good read

Get ready for an action-packed ride!

The opening of this book is a chilling reminder that horrific things happen to children every day. Once you read the first chapter, I promise that you will not be able to put this book down. I had to know what was going to happen to Hannah and I was scared to death for her.

Allysa's Revenge is a paranormal thriller. It is the story of Hannah's escape from slavery and her journey to save her sister. Wyatt's struggles with the horrors that he experienced in the military. Will Wyatt ever let love into his heart? Don't forget Allyssa! She is back with a vengeance. Now, she has better control of her powers. Watch out, bad guys!

I gave the narrator 4 stars because she overdramatized every declaration statement in the book. It comes off as cheesy and I didn't like it.

Sensitivity Warning: There is at least one scene with graphic sexual content between two consenting adults. Child rape and sex trafficking are also discussed in this book.

Summary –

Wyatt Rose thought the worst thing he had to deal with was his sister, Alyssa, being murdered by a Deep State operative. While working for the New Patriots with his ex-fiancé Harper, he discovers a drug and human trafficking cartel right in his own backyard. Suddenly, he and Harper are working closer than they did when fighting in Afghanistan. When Harper is kidnapped, feelings long-buried unfurl from deep inside. Can his sister help bring down the cartel from the great beyond or will Alyssa's rage put them all in mortal danger?

An excellent read/listen. I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. I didn't want to put it down, so I stuck my phone into my bra and listened while doing my chores. I haven't read the first book in this series, but didn't feel at all lost. Enough background is given. However, now I need to go read it next. Human trafficking bad guys will make you furious. An injured soldier will make you appreciative. His dog will bring you joy. An NCIS agent will make you anxious. The kids will have your heart. The avenging ghost will show the way. This story will have you on the edge of your seat. Heart racing. Entertaining. The narration was very good, too. 5 stars for her.

This book was really good to read. At the beginning it was hard with talking about human trafficking and a disabled veteran. Having a husband who needed a caregiver for years because of his injuries from being in the military. It lets you know how these veterans feel and how honored a lot of them are. This is a great book.

Can't stop listening
