I feel to give justice to this book I need to go back and read the other three. I found this book hard to follow as a stand alone.

CW: gun violence, violence, murder

I thoroughly loved Angus and Nari dancing around each other and their book was no less enjoyable. The mystery keeps you on your toes, as well as all the intrigue surrounding their agency. This is a solid addition to the series.

Angus and Nari finally get their story. I listened to the audiobook, and it was hard to stop listening and go to work. There are many audiobooks that I can listen to and work, but not this Deep Ops series. I only listened to this before work, after work, and into the wee hours of the morning.

I loved that the team would ask Angus if he was sure Lassiter was really alive, but they never doubted him. All the strange, unusual, and quirky members of Angus' team, along with Roscoe and Kat made this book so entertaining. I also liked the fact that they were intelligent, insightful, and empathetic.

This was not a completely lighthearted read. A lot of the interaction between the team was sweet, with humorous moments, showing a sense of family. But, it was also full of action, suspense, danger, and violence. There was this a psychological edge to it. There were a number of hold your breath moments. Lassiter was definitely a psycho and some of the crime scenes were very descriptive.

I really appreciated that Nari could fight. I was kind of surprised she didn't take more precautions in regard to her safety. I liked that Angus felt so protective. The author also provided a nice romance and several steamy scenes.

The last few chapters of the book were riveting. They were also full of surprises. I really did not expect that ending.

I thought the narrator did a great job capturing each team members personality. I did enjoy listening to him. There are still a couple of characters who haven't gotten their books. I really hope they do.

The best one yet. Angus and Nari can't ignore the attraction anymore. Awesome romance for these two and what a great suspense story. Is Lassiter still alive? Who is trying to kill Angus? This story keeps you chasing your tail. The team can't figure out who keeps going after Angus - is it Lassiter or someone from an old case? I bet you don't figure it out any sooner than they do. Very surprising ending and I loved it. I was definitely along for the ride and it was Awesome. Thank you for an awesome story.

Omfg that was fucking epic! I loved every second of this. Angus and Mari were perfect for each other and I'm so glad they finally admitted it.

It's time to catch a serial killer...

I've waited a very long time for this to be released. Since reading the first book I have wanted, no needed more about Angus Force and the wait was absolute torture. Who would be perfect for Angus and his alcohol loving, high heels wearing Czech German Shepherd Roscoe? Well, Nari Zhang of course.

Angus made a deal with the HDD that he add one year to find out if Lassiter is dead. Nobody believes him and once the department is disbanded the murders start to happen. Not the same MO as with the previous victims but now women who look similar to the women/girlfriends on and associated with the team.

It is a race against time especially when Angus is more and more in the crossfire of the sitauation. These two have demons to slay and well they have to figure out what is going on between them the sexual chemistry even after a year hasn't dissipated.

RZ did a truly outstanding job to make this a nail biting read that is action packed and with a very interesting twist. Here's hoping that the Brit gets his book.


ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.

This was again a fun read, like everything else in this series. It felt rushed though, the digital version needed a final pass from a copy editor.

Angus has kept everyone at arms length. Even Nari. He is convinced that Lassiter is still alive and killing again. He is dedicated to finding him and will do anything to make that happen. Nari has spent a year watching Angus drink and desperately search for proof that Lassiter is still out there. Her attraction to him is overwhelming most times, but it's not something she ever thinks he will act on. When the bodies start piling up and the resemblance to the their team is more than just uncanny they must work together to catch the person responsible and fighting their attraction is almost impossible. Will one night be enough? Or will the danger push them together and make them stronger? Action pact, thrilling, steamy and long awaited five star read!
