Four of the world’s leading criminals are lining up to form an alliance. Jax is determined to stop them. Hot on her heels, Inspector Pedroni finds himself questioning the difference, if any, between her justice and his.

A blend of James Bond, To Catch a Thief, and the Fifth Element, this story will take you on a wild ride. Thief Marlin is hoping to complete her plan of revenge, while cop, Pedroni, tries to nab her. Fans of the three movies I’ve mentioned and of space opera will enjoy this story.
Jax Marlin – To Catch a Marlin was an interesting 4 star read.
This story is set in the future. Pedroni is an officer and is assigned to look for a vigilante (Jax) that has taken things into their own hands when it comes to criminals.
Jax is the vigilante that Pedroni is looking for. But of course she doesn’t see herself that way, she is going after terrible people which stems from something in her past. When they meet, there is an instant connection between them. As Pedroni gets to know Jax he starts to struggle with right and wrong and starts to understand why she is doing what she is. I liked how Jax was leaving things for Pedroni. What will Jax do in the end? Will he let his feelings get in the way?
There is so much more to this great read.
I was drawn in by both characters and really loved each of them. Jax is a strong mysterious woman who can take care of herself. Pedroni was great as well. We get suspense, danger, and so much more. The author pulls you right in with her writing and you feel like you’re right there with the characters. All of the secondary characters were great. I will warn that there are some scenes that could cause triggers for some. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Wow, where do I even start with this novel, Jax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin by TK Toppin??? I suppose it should go without saying, but the cover to this book is what drew me in. The bright and loud attention grabbing face right there lures you in to find out what this book could possibly be all about. I have never read anything from TK Toppin prior to this so I went in blind solely based off the cover and a few teasers I had come across my feed. I am glad that I did because this novel really sucked me in on an unexpected adventure to the future.
This book really has a bit of everything in it, creating a perfect novel to most people. I loved how the sci-fi futuristic things were not only unexpected but felt very realistic and possible. I found myself feeling as if I was right there in whatever world our author has created for that moment, along with the characters as they experience things first hand. I had not expected it but I loved it. Then throw in the cat and mouse mystery and you literally are on the edge of your seat from beginning to end to find out what will happen and how things will all come to a conclusion. I am so excited to also find out that there will be more, some already available to read, in this series. I look forward to getting lost in them soon and am anxious to find out what else TK Toppin has available to read.
Jax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin by T.K. Toppin – Review by Meg Tyrrell
This book will have you mesmerized by the first paragraph. I instantly wanted to know what was going on and why a vigilante was being chased and what she was running from. I needed to know the whole story and was on the edge of my kindle trying to find out. I couldn’t put this book down. Thrilling because of all the adventure, mystery and sexiness T.K Toppin brings to you in this book, will definitely get your mouth watering for more! Loved it!!! With both characters being completely developed, you wont be able to help to fall in love with them.
This is a step out of my classic reads into new genre of books and from the very frist chapter and i am hooked the writing style grips you in after reading the first chapter you don’t want to put this book down you want to know all about Jax and how Pedroni will ahered to this case.
This is a pure page turner you don’t want to stop until you know the rest of the story.
Jax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin
By T.K. Toppin
5 out of 5 stars
The story Jax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin is an amazing book to read. The story has action, danger, and a game of cat and mouse that is being played between the two main characters. I loved reading about Jax Marlin. She is called a vigilante; however, she sees herself as someone who finds and stops criminals her own way. She is intelligent, independent, strong, and beautiful. Special Agent Michael Pedroni is the one that has vowed to bring Jax in. As a Special Agent, he believes that her methods can be dangerous for those who are around when she strikes. However, Michael is questioning the difference in her justice and his. Will Michael be successful in apprehending Jax? What does the future hold for Jax and Michael? Read this book to find out. This is a story that does get emotional at times and I really felt for both Michael and Jax. I grew to care about both of them each chapter that I read. The story does have some steamy moments and moments that I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Some of the additional characters only care about themselves and their plans. Will they succeed? Don’t miss out on a story that is an adventure that doesn’t stop until the last page. I highly recommend reading it.
You know how “they” say not to judge a book by its cover? Well JAX MARLIN – TO CATCH A MARLIN would be a very difficult book to do that with. The graphic gives no hint as to what the story could be about and the blurb gives only a little hint as to what is found between the covers of this story.
What IS between the covers is a well developed story with great world building and a fully thought out story. It is a story of suspense and intrigue and futuristic developments. A vigilante, a detective and lots of moving parts keep a great this book interesting from beginning to end.
This is the first time I’ve read this author and I look forward to reading more.

Jax Marlin: To Catch a Marlin is the first book in the To Catch a Marlin Series by T.K Toppin. This is my first book by Ms. Toppin- and I was seriously blown away by her fantastic story. She definitely got my attention, and has me excited to read the rest of the series. There are several more books in the series, available now- which I will be diving into asap- because if this first book is anything to go by, the rest of the series is set to be quite an exciting and fun ride.
This is an addictive futuristic sci-fi adventure story- with mystery, suspense, action, thrills, and so much more. It’s like an old Noir detective story crossed with a vigilante graphic comic, then set in the future with spaceships, and all the futuristic technology. I was hooked before I had even begun to read the story. The incredibly beautiful, and quite intriguing cover instantly had my attention- then when I read the blurb, there was no question if I would read it- it was an instant one-click for me.
I was soon caught up in all the intriguing development and action as it unfolded- following along to discover what would happen. Ms. Toppin’s world building skills are quite masterful, creating complex landscapes and ‘world/s’ in which to set her story. Her attention to detail is superb- crafting a world with its own unique flavour and feel- with advanced technology, transportation (both on-world and off-world), and incredible futuristic settlements/metropolis’. She has such a ‘visual’ quality to her writing- a dynamic feel that sets her story apart from others in the same genre.
I really recommend this story, especially to those who love a great cat and mouse mystery- all wrapped up in a sci-fi wrapper. What’s not to love?
Brilliant!
Thank you, Ms. Toppin!
Jax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin by T.K. Toppin was a great read! I would rate this book a five out of five stars. I loved the mystery and the plot of the story. I loved Pedroni’s point of view his character intrigued me and kept me glued to the book. I appreciated his point of view and it was a different way of thinking. I loved the mystery and hunt. I look forward to more books!
What an incredible story! Somehow it managed to have all my favorite things…Pirates?! For Real. Jax Marlin is intelligent, tough and sexy. Michael Pedroni is a cop with a weary edge to him but honest and focused. It’s his job to bring her in. This story was a great adventure, suspense, action, deep introspection. Everything that makes a story good and unforgettable. The main characters are thoughtfully crafted, and have you hooked in at the get go. The main supporting characters are just as carefully crafted. So well described you have no difficulty picturing them. There is plenty of action packed scenes in this book and they are all artfully and thoroughly thought out. This doesn’t feel like an off the cuff story, this feels like and reads like an art form. I love strong female characters and Jax does not disappoint. Not gonna lie, I think I am a big fan of Jax Marlin and I will be looking for more adventures with her. If you’re looking for a good solid read with a wild ride, this is the book for you. You will not regret it.
