About this listen

Publishers Note: Listening order. To heighten your enjoyment of Jack and Ethan's developing relationship, please listen to the novellas Bargaining with the Devil, When the Devil Drives, and Devil in the Details before this audiobook. Thank you.

Jack Reardon uncovers secrets for a living, and the Meta-State spy is pretty good at it. Or rather he thought so until he met Ethan Blade—assassin, warrior, enigma. The unlikely pair have decided to give living together a shot, but Jack's not entirely certain what he's gotten himself into—or exactly who he's in it with. Jack's worries are compounded when he's assigned to a police strike force hunting a serial killer. With each new puzzle piece, Jack considers the true nature of a serial killer—and how similar it is to an assassin...one particular assassin who's having trouble adjusting to retirement. Jack's unsure how to help Ethan; or if he even can.

When the killer strikes close to home, Jack must race against the clock to stop another murder, despite the price someone has put on his head. Could the matters be connected? Is a certain assassin at the center of both? Surrounded by killers, the only one Jack wants near disappears, leaving Jack drowning in secrets. He'll have to do what he does best—unravel the secrets, including Ethan's—to stop the killer and save the life he and Ethan have only just begun to build.

Great start to a series.

I'm really enjoying getting to know these characters, not just the two MC but all the support ones as well.
The twist of the story itself is great and very well done.



My only issue, and this is a personal one, is all 'before' and 'after' format that this author seems to be favoring. I'm not a fan, and I really hope it's done.

Once again, the narrator has done a wonderful job keeping me highly entertained throughout the whole story.

Great audio and fabulous narration

I really enjoyed this. Must admit that going between the two different tenses made it rather difficult at times to figure out where I was and what I was listening to. But I just went with it even though I got confused and found this to be extremely enjoyable. The mystery was good, though not fabulous. Still, they are a great couple. I’m going to the next, I want these two to get their HEA.

Excellent series!

Be sure to read Book 1 and the bundled novellas before this book.
This is an exciting story involving Ethan, a highly trained assassin and Jack, ex-military special ops now working for Australia’s antiterrorist agency known as The Office.
I barely let 15 minutes go by after finishing the first book to buy 3 additional credits so I could buy the novellas and Book 2. So enjoying this series I’m off to get the next one.
Excellent narration by Rowan Scott.
Love the Aussie and British accents!
