he Deeper game is the final installment in the "taken Hostage" series. More light-hearted, erotic, silly fun.
Isis and her "Gods" continue on with their adventures; while they grow both individually and as a couple - "the 4 of them". It's kind of surprising (and dare I say disappointing) that while the boys "love" each other and consider themselves a family with Isis - they are all (for people who live such outside the norm, "kinky" adventurous lifestyles) glaringly and boringly straight as arrows (meaning no M/M action at all - could have been hot - just sayin').
Anywho the plot revolves around their plans to pull off one of their greatest heists to really stick it to ZOX the government organization that betrayed them; complicated by Isis getting a creepy stalker.
Matteo and the Gigis make an appearance and wrap up some of their unresolved business.
Final thoughts: Elf porn: not really a fan; and I'm still confused as to why the bad guy was a bad guy (motivationally speaking).
Overall it was fun, probably could have been condensed a bit into 1 volume.

This series has been one of the most surprising books I've read this year so far. I really love these characters so much and the story is pretty damn great. I read the books all one after the other, it was so addicting! And I wonder, will there be more books? I do hope so!
The Deeper Game, the third book in the series kicked things up a notch when a stalker threatens to ruin everything Isis has build with the god pack. In the meanwhile Isis tries to convince her guys that they don't have to keep robbing banks but they are hell-bent on getting revenge. When Isis receives an intimidating letter, Zeus, Odin and Thor really show how fierce and even kind of scary they can be. Throw in a lot of kinky sex and you have one hell of a book!
So this book was really intense. Like REALLY! There isn't just the excitement of planning to rob a big bank but also the threat of Isis' stalker. While reading I could never guess who exactly it would be. I mean, it could've been anyone so I was a bit surprised by who it was and how screwed up and psycho he turned out to be. Isis as always was a great character. I genuinely like her because she's so funny, honestly loves her three guys and just wants them all to be a family.
And what can I say about the guys that I haven't said before? I love them ALL! To be honest, I never quite read a book like this about bank robbers and never thought them as hot but damn, I changed my mind the moment I read the first book. Zeus, Odin and Thor are some of the most sexy male characters I have read about, no question there! They were fiercely protective of Isis and quite agressive in this book. I just adore them!
Overall, The Deeper Game was sizzling hot, with fantastic writing, a great plot and just awesome. I had a blast reading it and it's one of my favorites now (as are the other books). So highly recommended!

I like this one the most of the trio. Wished it would have ended differently, but was a decent read.

The Hostage Bargain was a story that gave me more than anticipated. The Wrong Turn wasn’t quite as enjoyable, but it set things up well for the future of the series. The Deeper Game was an enjoyable third addition to the series.
I’ll be honest and say it was obvious from the start how this one was going to play out, but that did not take away from the amusement of the story. The series is a wonderful combination of humour and steam, and The Deeper Game is the perfect example of how Annika Martin combines the two. Things are so ridiculous, but they work so well. It keeps you hooked, ensuring you’re happy to devour it in a single sitting.
Without a doubt, if you’ve enjoyed the prior books in the series you need to give this one a read. It certainly leaves you curious about what will come next in the series.
