The first book in the series of PSI ops books but ties into the immortal ops - which I love.

Duke is like Roi, a bit grumpy but oh so loveable. He is busy hitting out one fingered reports when he gets a phone call from a sexy but bat shit crazy voice. Little does he know the voice belongs to his mate, who is a Pixie although she is unaware of her lineage or that she can turn bad guys bones to goo. I enjoyed the two main characters and all the other team members and am looking forward to reading their stories.

The reason this book did not get four stars: there were some editing issues in the e-version. Not horrific but enough that I noticed it. Words that were jumbled or didn't make sense. The second reason it didn't get another star is because
Spoilerduring the final battle Duke gets stuck in wolf form and takes his mates virginity on a cold stone cell floor while chained. I dunno, wasn't my thing really


Looking forward to more in the series

If you love alpha men and ditzy (but really smart) women, then you will enjoy this. The storyline and characters are tired and there really isn't anything new. Listened as audiobook with narrator Mason Lloyd.

Mandy's writing has me addicted. The alpha males and their woman just crack me up. This is a spin off series and it is just as good if not better than the original. Mandy is a true master at her craft and you find yourself so engrossed the story is over before you want it to. I love great paranormal stories and Mandy never lets me down. I love her work. With action and danger, love and laughter, suspense and thrills, everything you could ever want is right here.

PSI Op and badass, grumpy shifter Duke Marlow did the unthinkable...he answered the phone and now he's having to get his technologically challenged ass on a plane. Mercy Deluca is a source and possible enemy..she is really an absentminded biomedical engineering marvel who has been sucked in by The Corporation.

She walked in on test subject 87p being tortured and she is now trying to free him and the other "test subjects". She sends info to the Psi-Ops and is now waiting for the cavalry to arrive.

Loved when Duke goes in waving a gun and Mercy asks if he was there to fix her sink. Mercy unwittingly has Duke's DNA profile as artwork on her wall as the "perfect man"

This is another great short read from Ms Roth. I love the antics of the Psi-ops team, they are huge, immortal kindergartners and I love the way they nominate each other for "Asshole of the week!! The characters in this book are fully formed, flaws and all, and I can't wait for the next.

This has been, by far, my favourite book in the Immortal Ops universe so far! It is the first book of the spin-off PSI-Ops and the sixth book in the I-Ops universe according to the suggested reading order by the author (I highly, highly recommend you follow her reading order as presented on her website https://www.mandyroth.com/the-immortal-ops-series-world/ ).
In this book Duke, who was introduced in the last book Tactical Magik, a born lycan and grumpy, technologically challenged operative finds his mate in the computer wiz doctor Mercy.
This book stands out for me because we get a deeper and better look into the way these men are brothers-in-arms and with Mercy we have a hilarious female heroine that can't shut her gab for even a second. I highly recommend this book!

*Book source ~ Kindle Lending Library

Duke Marlow works for Paranormal Security and Intelligence Operatives (PSI-Ops). He’s also an Alpha werewolf. Alive for a couple hundred years, he hates change. Well, he hates pretty much everything and everybody. Especially technology. When he and his team are sent to Paris to watch a Dr. Mercy Deluca, learn everything she knows about the capture and detention of a former teammate and then eliminate her, Duke takes one look at her picture and suddenly decides she must not die. Confused about his gut feelings it isn’t until he meets her face-to-face that he realizes she’s his mate. And no way will he allow her to be in any danger. They may need her to extract James Hagan, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it. This mission could possibly be the death of him.

Ok, I have a favorite new author. When I picked this story up through the Kindle Lending Library, I knew it was a book 1 in a series. What I didn’t know was that it’s a spin off from another series. Of course, being the way I am that means I need to go back and read the books from the original series, but not just because of my series reading quirks. I need to do it because I love this story. It’s fast-paced, quirky and full of humor. It has many paranormal elements and some steamy stuff. The characters could use a bit more oomph in their personalities, but for the length of this story I’ll take what was put out there about them. Duke is a curmudgeon and Mercy is a feisty nerd. They’re great together! All I have left to say is: I want more!
