As second in command of Eidolon, Alex Martinez is a ghost who lives in the shadows. Despite doing a job he loves, Alex has never forgotten the love of his life—the woman he proposed to at eighteen—whose disappearance changed the course of his destiny. Evelyn Garcia’s dreams were ripped away from her one dark, sultry Cuban night when she was just a teen. She’d fought the horrors she’d witnessed by … witnessed by becoming the feared and deadly assassin Siren. Using seduction, she gets men to spill their sick, twisted secrets before exacting revenge.
When Alex comes face to face with Evelyn again, he witnesses her killing a man in cold blood. Unable to reconcile the woman from his memories with the cold-blooded killer she is now, Alex vows to have nothing to do with the woman he’d once loved. Then he’s handed a new contract—Siren has a kill order on her, and Alex must carry it out.
Can Alex overcome his anger and feelings of betrayal and save Siren, or will he follow orders and terminate her?
A race against time is on, as Alex and Siren battle to discover the truth behind the order and save both their lives.

This was the first book by the author that I have read and I have to say I’m hooked I can’t wait to jump into the next book and see where the series goes. I really enjoyed not only the authors build up of the characters but where the story started and how it developed over time. I was hooked from the very beginning and I thought it was great how she wrapped up the story but still left you hooked to see what was going to happen next trying to find out who was the person who was leaking the information. I also thought it was super cool that our female lead character was just as strong as the male lead and instead of having an alpha they were more of a team. I look forward to reading more.
At the ripe age of 18 both Alex and Evelyn had already made plans for their future. But even the best laid plans don’t always go as planned.
Now 15 years later and both Alex and Evelyn have both traveled down a path that neither thought they would, all because Evelyn disappeared without a word breaking Alex’s heart.
However, things change once again for Alex and Evelyn when a kill order is placed on Evelyn and Alex is tasked with the contract. Will Alex be able to see past the hurt, anger, and pain of the last 15 years without Evelyn to save her? Or will he follow through with the contract and kill the woman he still seems to love?
I loved reading this story. I’m going to have to go back and read the other series that has many of the couples mentioned in this book. I’d love to see the kind of man it takes to tame Roz (Evelyn’s boss).
This is my first book by this author and I’m hooked. Alex and Evelyn are such an amazing couple. When tragedy hits and they lose each other because of something beyond their control it’s fireworks when they come across each other accidentally. This story has it all…love, suspense, a possible traitor. And so much more. Will definitely be checking out the rest of this author’s books.
A thriller! An exciting story full of suspense weaved with romance and action. I really enjoyed this story it kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next as our heroes dodged bullets and corruption.
Finally a chance for Alex and Siren to talk and sort things out between them after years of heartbreak for something beyond their control. I loved this story, its full of pain and love, action and threats. We meet different enemies, and they are not nice people, possible threat from close to home just adds to the suspense and build up to the climax of this plot. This is Eidolon but as with Fortis we get our other favourites coming to help out either in person or over the phone, these groups of friends and extended family work so well together to solve and save, in these gripping stories, I honestly do not want to put down. Nothing better than getting comfortable with a nice hot chocolate and just sinking into the words for as long as I can keep life and interruptions away, sometimes id like that to last a very long time or at least the length of a series. Well written with a fast pace and lots of excitement throughout, plus this overwhelming love that these two have for each other that has spanned years and distance and survived intact.
Pain, grief, happiness, desire, regret, loss, love and anger are just a few emotions you will be feeling as you get lost within these pages. I loved the familiar characters from a previous series as well as getting introduced to a few new names.
“You are strong and cold—a killer. They don’t get to have that part of you that is soft and sweet and sexy. She is mine and I won’t share her with people who wish her harm.”
While wondering who the traitor is amongst the group everyone is in survival mode. When you need your team to have your back yet you don’t know who you can trust it makes your mission a little more personal and interesting.
Looking forward to Blake’s story and getting more answers that kept me wondering after reading Alex’s story.
Alex is the first book in an exciting new romantic military suspense series from beloved british author Maddie Wade. Our journey begins with our hero, Alex, discovering his supposedly dead first love, Evelyn, is very much alive and working as the sultry, spitfire assassin known as Siren for Zenobi, an elite assassins team with close ties to his own black ops team, Eidolon. For 15 years, he thought she was dead and she’s been just out of his reach all this time, but no more.
We soon discover that a hit has been placed on Evelyn by the royal palace after false accusations of her stealing stolen information surface. Alex & his team from Eidolon are assigned to take out Siren, but decide they must protect her at all cost while trying to discover the real thief and retrieve the stolen information before it’s too late. Alex cannot wrap his head around the fact that his sweet, innocent Evelyn has become Siren – an assassin that uses her looks to lure bad men to their doom with a smile on her face. As Alex and Evelyn are forced to spend time alone together in his safe house, he begins to see the real woman, his Evelyn, is still there and their passionate sparks of love begin to ignite once again. Despite their passion in the bedroom, this couple often has emotional heartbreak over what could have been and many areas from their past that they must work through together in order to give their new, delicate relationship a chance to succeed. Alex becomes determined to conquer the past and claim his true love again & never let her go.
There are dangerous forces at play, both known & unknown. Shocking revelations come to light and a possible snake is in the team’s midst causing Alex to be suspicious & wary of his own teammates who are as close to him as brothers, if not more so. As the danger mounts and Evelyn’s safety becomes mission critical, multiple outsider teams & disagreeing individuals will have to put aside their pride and differences in order to find Evelyn alive.
If you enjoy romantic military suspense novels that include sexy British-speaking alpha males and just enough heat & dirty talk in the bedroom then consider Alex your next book boyfriend.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters are well developed and they have a well thought out back story which is built upon throughout the book. This book has multiple twists and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end.

Alex was an amazing action packed and romantic novel. Evelyn is known as the Siren and the British Monarch has put out a contract on her for her death. Alex is assigned to protect her. She disappeared on him after his proposal 15 years ago. Can he protect the woman he still loves while trying to understand what happened? Can Evelyn figure out why she is being framed and handle being around Alex who is now part of the enemy team?
This was such an exciting novel and it was very easy to read. The characters were developed well and I loved the chemistry between Alex and Evelyn. They were so different as agents but I loved seeing their old selves shine through. The climax of this novel was awesome and the way the ending tied everything together was fabulous. I cannot wait to read more from this series and I highly recommend this novel.
When you refuse to listen to your bladder in order to keep reading… you know you’ve got a good book. I literally could not put the book down or tear myself away until I finished reading the entire book. The characters and plot were full, rich, well-developed. I loved the ebb and flow. It kept me guessing and white-knuckled until the very end. Simply a fantastic book. Finding Wade to be a reliable author for an action packed ride. Her writing is one you won’t ever regret picking up.
Alex: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel is by Maddie Wade is wonderfully written Romance suspense. This fast paved read was one that I could not put down. The story follows Alex and Evelyn.

This BOOK was SO good and just a thriller that I did not want to put it down. Both main characters are strong and really make this book what it is! I highly recommend this five star read and I cannot wait to read more in this series.
Alex is the first book in Maddie Wade’s Eidolon Black Ops series that is a spinoff of her Fortus Security Series. We met Eidolon guys in the Fortus Series books and I was really excited when the writer decided to do a spinoff and give us Eidolon boys and their stories!!! I have read every single one of Fortus Security books and I know it will be the same with Eidolon Black Ops series as I absolutely love the universe Maddie Wade has created! With every book we get deeper into it and get more hooked on it!
Alex Martinez is the right had man of the Eidolon Black Ops leader Jack and he lost his heart when he was eighteen … well he handed his heart to Evelyn Garcia when he was eight and she was six years old and he lost her when he was eighteen … she simply disappeared one night and now it has been fifteen years he has had no idea what happened to her …
Well, their paths cross and Evelyn is no longer the tender-hearted artist she was, she is a cold blooded killer/assassin … they are thrown together as a kill order is taken out on Evelyn and there is no well in hell that Alex will let it happen so we are taken on one heck of a ride and you will be keeping your fingers crossed throughout the whole book hoping that they will win the race against the time!
Alex: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel
By Maddie Wade
5 stars
Every time I pick up a book by this author I know I am in for a brilliant, action packed read and as I expected Alex was no exception. I always find that I am completely captivated by what I am reading, her storylines are exciting and I get sucked into the characters’ lives easily. There was action from the very beginning of this story and straight away I knew I was going to love the characters, Alex and Evelyn.
Evelyn (Siren) was a fantastic character to read about, full of sass and independence everything I love in a leading female character and I’m pretty sure I fell in love with Alex straight away! He was very loyal to his ‘brothers’ and his job but also as soon as he came face to face with Siren he knew what he had to do!
Their story really was a pleasure to read about and I loved seeing characters from the previous series appear too!
Another fantastic 5 star read from Ms Wade – I am looking forward to her next book already!
Alex: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel by Maddie Wade. This is the first book in this series and I’m so excited to read more. This is the story of Alex Martinez, the second in command of Eidolon and Evelyn Garcia aka Siren who has been made into a deadly assassin. Alex and Evelyn fell in love when they were teenagers and they were planning on getting married. Best friends and soul mates they thought they were destined to be together forever until Evelyn disappeared one night. Alex was devastated and didn’t know how to go on so when he sees Evelyn aka Siren again and she is brutally killing someone he’s so confused and decides then and there that he will never have anything to do with Evelyn again. Evelyn still loves Alex but knows he won’t approve of the life she leads now so she continues to seduce men to get their secrets. When Alex gets a contract to kill Siren will he follow through or will his love keep him from it. Read Alex to find out. Its a super fast paced read so be prepared!
This is a story that doesn’t cater to fluff! The story moves along at a wonderful pace. The author picks the characters and progresses them along with a few stops here and there. I have no time to get bored because of the action that these stories are known for is also in this book.
We meet some new characters as well as reconnect with some older ones from previous series. So it is a nice blend. I don’t spend too much time trying to figure out who goes where and what they do. But yet I do get to meet new faces. I was glad to see Roz and Kanan in here….they have been my favorite couple in the Fortis series. All the secondary characters held their place and didn’t overshadow the two main.
I really loved the story of Alex and Evelyn! It’s a mix of second chance and long lost love. They are so cute as youngsters but even sweeter as they meet again. Besides they are both deadly now….what can go wrong?This is a great beginning to this spin off and I eagerly look forward to reading more.
This author writes fantastic”black ops” stories and there are always strong female characters in the story. ALEX references characters from previous series but I think that if this is the first book you are reading by this author. you can still follow along as all of the important people are introduced .
Background information is told in flashbacks and the alternating points of view moved the story along nicely. This story has action and adventure and romance and feelings.
I absolutely recommend this book and this author.
Alex: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel by Maddie Wade is an absolute page turner that will have you hooked from start to finish.
I knew from the instant I read the blurb of this book I was going to enjoy it! What a thrilling ride it was. I loved the whole premise of the story. It was just different enough to be unlike anything I have read recently. And the characters were incredible. Their chemistry was palpable and I couldn’t wait to read more of them.
Maddie Wade is an author I only discovered relatively recently but she has quickly become one of those authors where I don’t hesitate to pick up their book. Everything I have read by her has been thrilling and interesting and has kept me on the edge of my seat. This is another outstanding book by her and probably my favourite one so far.
Alex is the first book in the exciting new Eidolon Black Ops series by Maddie Wade. Having already read the Fortis security series and the Tightrope series by this author, I knew I was in for a treat and I was not disappointed in the slightest.
We had already been introduced to the Eidolon guys in the Fortis Security books and I was looking forward to getting to know these guys better. I loved that this book included the Fortis guys and the ladies from the Zenobi group as these were characters I had come to know and love in previous books by this author.
This book centres around the story of Alex Martinez from Eidolon and Evelyn Garcia from Zenobi. Alex and Evelyn had been childhood sweethearts and were engaged to marry when Evelyn went missing, presumed dead. Fast forward 15 years and Alex is assigned to find and save Evelyn from a threat to execute her.
This book is very fast paced and action packed. The story will have you gripped from the very first page, something I find with all of Maddie Wade’s books. She really knows how to write a damn fantastic romantic thriller. The sexual attraction between Alex and Evelyn is hot, off the charts, both of them still deeply in love with the other. Can they keep each other alive with the major threats they are facing?
I would definitely recommend this book to all readers. In fact, I would recommend anything that this author has written. I’ve loved every book of hers that I’ve read so far.
Alex: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel by Maddie Wade is the first book in this spinoff series. I didn’t read any of the Fortus Security series but you better believe I will he going back and reading them hopefully before the next book in this series is released.
Alex and Evelyn have history with one another and their story which started at age six is sweet and sad at the same time. Working together after being apart for so long showed that the flames of true love never go out.
I loved how much strong and intimidating Evelyn was. I want to be like her when I finally decide to grow up. The story had me from the start and didnt let go. It had romance, intimacy, suspense and adventure and I loved every second of it.
