Alex: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel
By: Maddie Wade
5 out of 5 stars
The story Alex: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel by Maddie Wade is a romantic suspense book. This is an awesome story to read. It had me turning pages and on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It has action, danger, and romance. I loved reading about the characters of Alex Martinez and Evelyn Garcia. They had been best friends, soul mates. Even though she disappeared he never forgot about her. She has become the assassin Siren. When he comes face to face with her again, he doesn’t want anything to do with her. What will happen when Alex gets a contract to kill Siren? Read this book to find out. Siren is a woman who is strong, independent, and lethal. Alex is a man who loves his job and has those he calls his brothers and friends. Will Alex save Siren or follow orders? The story is fast-paced. Once I started, I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I got lost in the storyline and in the interactions between the characters. The story is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with Alex and Siren experiencing what they did. Don’t miss out on a thrilling read that will have you hooked from the beginning. Highly recommended.
Alex is the first book in a marvelous new series, Eidolon Black Ops by Maddie Wade. The story begins with an elimination order issued by the British Monarchy for Evelyn Garcia due to a presumed thievery. Evelyn was a member of Zenobi, an all-female elite group of assassins and Alex Martinez’s lost love. Eidolon, as the British Government’s and Monarchy’s preferred Black Ops group, were assigned the mission to eliminate Evelyn. However Jack, Eidolon’s leader, sent Alex his second in command with a team to protect her, and to initiate an investigation to uncover by whom and why Evelyn was being framed as well as who was leaking Eidolon’s intel to the enemy. Evelyn and Alex embark in a second chance, romantic, action-packed adventure that takes them and their team from the French mountains to Monaco’s open sea, from the love of culinary delights and painting to hunting down villains, and from trust to painful betrayal. Alex is a book that entertained me and hooked me onto the next book in the series (hopefully coming soon).
Good job Mrs. Wade
I love the boys of Eidolon and getting to read each of their stories and background and the crossover with fortis is exciting. Alex’s story had it all the action the drama the love I can’t wait to read more from this series and highly recommend to others as a must read author and series.
YES! So much YES with this new series from Maddie Wade. The Eidolon Black Ops novels are a spin-off from the Fortis Security Series and I couldn’t be more excited to see what else we will get in the novels to come. I adored The Fortis Security series and remembered Alex fondly. I would say that you could pick this up prior to reading the Fortis Security series, but I truly think that you will absolutely adore it and understand the cast of characters so much better if you read through those first.
This one we see Alex again like I said but we find him now in a new battle for Evelyn’s heart and safety. I just really enjoyed reading about Alex, he is the kind of man I would want my daughters to date so I truly found him carving a space in my reader’s heart. I am almost confident to say he is my favorite lead male that I have read so far this year. Now on to wait for the next fantastic installment. I can’t wait to get my hands on it! Thanks for the fabulous read Ms. Wade!
Alex: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel by Maddie Wade is an amazing start to this new series. I love that Maddie’s characters cross over in each series and I have fallen in love with each and every character in all of them. I love the alpha males but I also love the equally tough and alpha women who like their male counterparts will stop at nothing to protect those they love and consider family. Maddie is one of my favourite authors and she is an accomplished writer that writes stories that are enthralling, engaging and compelling and leave you wanting more. Her characters make you fall in love with them and make you feel like you are part of their lives and their families. This story is full of action and danger, drama and secrets that will have you on the edge of your seat and oh so sexy scenes that will see you needing a cigarette. Maddie is a master of weaving intrigue and bringing it all together to bring us something truly masterful. I look forward to reading more of Maddie’s work and what she brings us next.
This book is a great start to a new series. I’ve read all of the Fortis Security books and loved them, but Eidolon appears to have a more black ops approach and I love it!! Alex and Evelyn (Siren) begin their life as teens with an innocent love, who through unseen circumstances, part ways. They both grow up to become extreme operatives within their different teams and their paths eventually cross again. As adults, their love is still strong but neither are innocent any longer. Their mission to protect one another and clear Siren’s name is action packed and full of twists. I loved the storyline and the sneak peeks from previous characters that I’ve loved throughout previous books. I can’t wait to see what happens in the future as the plot thickens for Eidolon.
Alex is book 1 in a new series, from a new author for me and what a brilliant introduction she has given. This book has held me captive right from the start and I never wanted to put the read down. This book also had me on the edge of my seat numerous time through-out with it’s action, adventure, danger & romance. It is a fast-paced read that flows effortlessly from chapter to chapter without you getting lost. This author not only has created an epic storyline, but she has created two characters that are real, make this story even better. The interactions and connections between Alex & Siren are real and their past is hard to ignore and is undeniable, but what will happen when a mission is put to Alex that could ultimately change everything between him and Siren for good! This book I couldn’t put down it was thrilling and I felt I was there alongside these characters in their journey this is a book that shouldn’t be missed! Don’t miss this read!
Alex: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel by Maddie Wade is a romantic suspense. This story could be read as a stand alone, but I would highly recommend also reading the numerous other stories by Maddie Wade as there are several secondary characters that are outstanding on their own. For Alex: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel, this story focuses on Alex and Evelyn where there is danger lurking while they try to come to grips with the past and how its impacted each of their lives. I really enjoyed to see the overlapping of characters into this story and liked the story line/plot that Maddie introduced for these particular characters. It was exhilarating, heart-racing energy that came through the story and quickly turned this into a page-turner. Each suspense delivered by this author is amazing!
An absolutely stellar new series from Maddie Wade!
As a fan of the Fortis series by Maddie Wade, I expected to like this book. I did not however expect to be astounded by it and I really am! An amazing first book in the Eidolon series. Alex is full of action and adventure but oh so much more. Having been separated for many years Alex and Evelyn are brought back together when there is a threat to Evelyn’s life. Alex is determined that nobody will harm her but can he and Evelyn find their happy ever after or are they destined to remain apart? Action packed, with a whole lot of steam, this book has such a unique, fresh feel to it, it’s definitely a series I will be following. An easy 5 stars!
This is the first book in a new series, I loved it. I love how this author is able to pull me into the story right from the start. The characters are realistic, they pop off the pages and made the story real. Alex has never forgotten the one woman he fell in love with and never forgot. What will happen when he is sent to protect her? Their story is full of action, romance and maybe fate might give them a second chance. They kept me sitting on the edge of my seat, their story is a must read.
This is the first book of Maddies new series.
Leading on from the Fortis boys we get further introduced to the secret mission world of Jack and friends who have been popping up in Hereford from time to time.
Alex is a man on a mission once he realises the love of his life Evelyn is in fact still alive…..and just as deadly as he is.
If there’s one thing (and there’s not just 1) that Maddie does so well it’s write a action scene and this book has them in spades, which I love! The finding of love lost weaves through seamlessly along the storyline of trying to clear Evelyn’s name.
I don’t do spoilers so that’s all your going to get 😉
Will I read the next book, Blake’s? Yep!
Will I end up loving these boys as much as the Fortis boys and girls? Yep!
Do I need to start a Jack fan club? Possibly!
I love the mix of intrigue, secret missions, sexy men and sassy women that Maddie creates.
Where’s the story going now I’m not sure but I can’t wait to find out. There’s a twist coming which I think I might have to get Maddie drunk on tequila to get out of her…no I’ll wait for the series.
Do I recommend? Of course I do, with bells on and if you haven’t read Maddies books before? Do it!
I happily and greedily accepted the chance to read this book in advance….but if I hadn’t liked it….she’d know! 😉
I absolutely loved this book! It’s the first in a new series, and it’s awesome! Alex and Evelyn are amazing! Alex thought he lost the love of his love. He finds out she has a bounty on her head. He had to find a way to keep her safe. They find out that true love never dies. It’s action packed and I was on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this book and new series!! Great job Maddie Wade!!
Incredible book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Only took me 2 days to read and I only read at night when I go to bed. So good that I had dreams about the characters!!!!!!
OUTSTANDING .
I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of ALEX . Well I’ll start by saying I love this story . It’s full of love , betrayal , killers , intrigue , suspense just everything . I was captivated from the start . Alex and Evelyn have a past but due to others lies and circumstances beyond their control they lost each other in their teens . Alex finds Evelyn years later is now Siren an Assassin for hire . Siren has a contract on her head that is handed to Eidolon Where Alex works . They must keep each other safe and find out and stop who is behind the contract and why . This is a fantastic pulse pounding on the edge of you seat master piece . I highly recommend taking the time to read . Siren is one tough kick _ss! chick . 5 stars for me
Well i dont know where to start. I always slip second chance romaces because they dont “talk” to me. Well this one change that for me. This is story of Alex and Evelyn. Of their second chance to find their happily ever after not without suspence and alpha males and awsome females. Of course like always Maddie leaves us with our happy couple and me waiting for next book to find out what happens next. Its awsome how she can end story but still find that small thing that keeps u on your toes for next one .
I loved this books and would recommend it if you like awsome books with strong females and protective males who wipp do everything for their loved ones.
OMG!! I couldn’t put it down. I expected heat and passion, but the love story between Alex and Evelyn was almost more than I could take. It is the sweetest most heartwarming story I’ve read in a long time. There’s also no short of butt kicking. However my favorite part is the mystery. I’m waiting with baited breath for continuation in Blake and Pax’s story.
I love Maddie Wade books. She combines intrigue, romance, mystery and strong personalities in every book. Rack book is like visiting old friends and meeting new ones. Can’t wait for next one!
Alex is still reeling from Sirens reappearance in his life. He needs to keep her safe from a hit ordered by the monarchy. Alex has comes to realize they are meant to be. He just has to convince her. Total page turner with characters from Fortis making an appearance. I read it straight through. This is once again a great read. I highly recommend this new series.
This is a fantastic read. Alex has to protect Evelyn, aka Siren, from a hit that Eidolon has been hired to do. Alex and Evelyn have a lot of hurt getting in their way and he needs to keep her alive so they can work through their problems. We get glimpses into what happened 15 years ago and there are some shockers. These two characters have a great chemistry and there are some hot steamy moments. We get to see some of the Fortis Team which is always a bonus. This is action packed and keeps you on the edge of you seat. I couldn’t put the book down and read it straight through.
This book was exciting and suspenseful. I was on the edge of my seat throughout. This book was up my ally and I will be reading more from this author
