About this listen

A spy...

My name is Charlotte Locke, and I’m an analyst for Section 47, a secret government agency that tracks terrorists, criminals, and other paramortal bad guys who want to unleash their abilities on an unsuspecting mortal world. I have a magical form of synesthesia that senses danger and uncovers lies - making me a stealthy operative.

I’m trudging through another day when one of Section’s cleaners - assassins - takes an interest in me. I don’t need my synesthesia to realize that he is extremely dangerous and that he will do anything to achieve his goals - even if it means putting me in the line of fire.

...and an assassin

I’m Desmond Percy, one of Section 47’s most lethal cleaners. I’m also a man on a mission, and I need Charlotte Locke’s skills to help me keep a promise, settle a score, and kill some extremely bad people.

Charlotte might not like me, but we’re stuck together until my mission is over. Still, the more time we spend together, the more I’m drawn to her. But at Section 47, you never know who you can trust - or who might want you dead.

For the most part the story is really quite good. it did take a bit to get into the story and i don't think i ever really liked the main characters, i think i actually preferred the villains but the main characters were likeable enough to carry the interesting story. once the story gets into it it's pretty action packed though i could have done without the long winded sex scene at the end.

The female narrator is great and though many have complained extensively about the male narrator and he is a bit stilted at times, you do get used to his voice after the story itself becomes more interesting. whether i will buy book 2, before the long arse sex scenes i would have said Yep Absolutely but now, its pure
put me off a bit. i will have to think about it.

For the most part..

Loved this maybe more than the spider series. If you like smart women this is for you.

Fantastic

Unfortunately, this book was ruined for me by the atrocious narration of Grant Cartwright. His timing is plodding and robotic, full of unnecessarily long (and just unnecessary) pauses. What on earth did he think he was achieving? He sounds like a 1950’s newscaster. I spent way to much energy attempting to overlook his excruciating performance and trying to concentrate on the story instead. Also, his character is supposed to be Australian (and GC actually is), but sounds like a mix of American and Irish instead. The good news is that it appears they have replaced him in the sequel!
Helen Laser, in contrast, was excellent. Five Stars for her.

The novel itself was mostly good, but I simply could not get into it. Also, the ending was one long cliche. Everyone got to have their monologue, threaten each other, etc. There were no surprises here either. This was unexpected from such an accomplished author as Jennifer Estep. One person was able to move their hand faster than a fired bullet. Hmmm…

Dreadful male narrator, but great female one
