Don’t be…worry about the evil that is lurking trying to kill you when you aren’t watching. The ghost know and Jonathan and Kelly seem to be wrapped up in trivial things to pay attention until it is too late, almost. Fast paced, fun, humorous, action packed, suspense filled and love them ghosts! New paranormal stuff going on too! Nothing is normal with Jonathan Shade! These books must be read in order.
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this book. This is book seven and continues on from the gripping trilogy books, so I would recommend that you start with book one and work your way through them because so much has happened and a lot of it does have a bearing on what happens in this book. Like Kelly I miss the old annoying and joking Jonathan. This one seems more grown up, which isn’t surprising with everything the characters have gone the but I miss the witty one line banter between him and Brand and even between the door guy at the DGI. There was a few sparks of it between him and his sister, so I hope it’s to long before he is cracking jokes while getting beaten up, um I mine beating up the bad guys. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy this book and think it is well worth the listen and you also learn a bit more about his family life. Off to start the next book.
Kelly doesn’t like him and wants her old Jonathan back and Rayna doesn’t trust him. If the new Jonathan has any hope of reforming the friendship he had between the two women is to find a case that they can all work on together. With Esther the ghosts help he stumbles on what he thinks is a simple case. Can he peek the ladies interest? The problem is the case was a lot more complicated than they believed and people start to die. It seems they have unwittingly released a dark matter that has no problem killing people. With the women in his life pulling away from him and the entity stronger than he thought Jonathan has no choice but turn to the DGI for help. There he finds another problem in the form of his older sister. She still blames him for the death of there parents, will she put her feelings aside to help save lives? With all the investments he made during his time traveling, Jonathan has become a rich man but will money persuaded her were doing the right thing didn’t?
I like the narrator he has a good range of voices for the characters and with his sharp delivery he is a pleasure to listen to.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I was really excited to listen to the 7th Jonathan Shade audiobook and it did not disappoint. After the time travel events in the prior book, Jonathan struggles to re-establish relationships with Kelly and Rayna, and to see if they are capable of, or even want to, work together once again. Esther, who is no longer tied to the typewriter, is the only one who remains steadfast in her friendship with Shade. This story leads you on a thrilling, tension filled ride, where an evil, ethereal killer lurks in the shadows waiting to destroy everyone. The narrator did a great job of bringing out the sarcasm and action in the story and giving the characters individual voices. I love that the author revealed how Shade’s parents died, and how their death is linked to events in other books. This book is fast paced, suspenseful, action packed and laced with humour. The characters keep evolving and you never know what will happen next. I look forward to listening to the next book in the series.
