One of the biggest was the author calling adopted siblings half siblings when there was no blood relation. She clarified one occasion but not any of the rest. There really was no need for an extra word (half) when no blood relation existed. The story was way over complicated for no reason. It just took enjoyment away for it being so convulsed. But I didn’t pay to read. It was apart of the audible member program. Assuming I can listen for free, I would continue the series....more

It was okay. I wasn’t completely invested. Too much was going on and there wasn’t enough explanation at time. I replay many sections thinking I missed something only to realize it just wasn’t explained well. I didn’t finish the Jane Yellowrock series (last book or two) and I never will. So the references to her also fell short. I don’t know. It was a bad book but not a great one either. 3.5 rating ...more

One, if this was apart of the Mercy series, why did it begin and end with Bree chapters? (Ignoring the first Him chapter) Also, why did they ask why the older woman’s back door was broken into. I thought that was established earlier with the internet theory? And why was the reporter not mentioned in the end? Like his life was ruined and there will always be doubters. But I’m happy they used the narrators from both series. ...more

He also proved himself to The story on this one was more plausible than the last making it more enjoyable. Only Reacher returned to his whorish ways. He also proved himself to be a killer and not a hero. And I’m not talking the big bad guy, but a lot of those along the way could have been dispatched without death. Then you have to suspend belief in FBI procedures on or off book that they unleashed a killer. The narration was good. ...more

I guess this author is feeding into a stereotype that this hero sleeps with every damsel in distress. And of course, she sleeps with him but secretly in love with her boss. Cue eye roll. Outside of that the story was okay. It kept me entertained enough. Time to finish book three. I started before this one but my library time ran out before I finished. Oh, the narrator is good....more

Almost five stars except one thing where I didn’t and still don’t understand why Logan didn’t tell his sister something important. After finishing, I can guess. But as a reader in the moment it didn’t make sense. Thus felt more of a plot device. The narrators were good and thank goodness book 2 is available now. 4.5 stars

The plot was all over the place. His wife can now speak French. Alex can now speak Spanish. None of the plot seemed necessary. All seemed contrived to connect a former villain to a new one. I was very disappointed and glad I listened using library and not a credit. The narrator was fine. ...more

GoHow refreshing to read a book from start to finish with no complaints. This author takes her time with releasing installments but there’s a saying. Good things come to those who wait. It’s never been truer. That doesn’t mean I wish I could consume these books daily. Just means, in the waiting, there’s never disappointment. Narrator was fabulous as always....more

The stories are cookie cutter. I’m annoyed that every crime Eve investigates somehow ties to an event in her past. Despite only a few years passing in nearly sixty books (timeline totally doesn’t make sense) since I’ve read all, there have been more Christmas than number of supposed years passing. Anyway, it’s just not exciting anymore. I won’t waste a credit, but if I can get from library I might read like this time. Narrator is good. ...more

They are beginning to sound the same. The premise didn’t intrigue me. The characters didn’t wow me. The relationships were obvious and too easy. I felt like nothing really happened in the story until the last five minutes. I had to rewind the audio when I realized it was over. Will I continue? If I can listen for free and have nothing else, why yes. Otherwise, no. Glad I got this one from the library. It’s not an awful book. But for me, who has read 90% or more of her books, it wasn’t interesting enough. The narrator was good. ...more

Was it really necessary forOverall a good book though I figured it out the whole done it long before Reacher. However, this book did give me the ick. Was it really necessary for Reacher to admit he lusted after a 15 yo even if he admonished himself. Couldn’t he just think she was a cute kid and then be amazed that she’d grown into a beautiful woman. It was just gross. And for that reason I’ll knock it down a star. Narrator was good. Oh, can I mentioned how I noticed the how often “he said - she said was used when it wasn’t necessary for us to understand who was speaking....more

Only this time, I felt like the side stories were neglected and threads started without giving them value or conclusion. Though there is a quick tidy up at the end, I left feeling I missed something. Like the in-laws and the guy that they caught. Maybe I missed it, but yeah. The ending was satisfying for Jane and the overall story. Would I recommend? I have to think about that. The narrator was fantastic....more
