5.0
I am still trying to decide how to word this review. It’s never easy to review an entire series at once, especially one that was out there as this one.
In the future, New Orleans has a section called Easytown where the French Quarter used to be. This is a spot that specializes in nightlife, sex clubs in particular. Except these are no ordinary clubs. They’re filled with sex robots. When patrons start to be murdered, the protagonist Zachary, has to find out who’s responsible.
I loved this series because not only does it have a noir feeling, it holds an interesting balance of technology like cyborgs and artificial intelligence, but it also has plenty of modern day issues like drugs and murder.
Zach is a very shoot first, ask questions later type of main character. He’s confident and not afraid to follow his gut. I didn’t like him at first, but I warmed up to him the longer I listened. All the characters, in fact, are interesting in their own ways. I liked Zach’s assistant Andi in particular.
There are some things in the futuristic world that made me laugh. Such creative worldbuilding all around.
The narrator did an absolutely fantastic job as well. He brought the stories to life.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
