Brooke never disappoints
Lucian (James Thomas #4) by Brooke Sivendra is the enthralling fourth book in the James Thomas Series and is the gift that just keeps on giving. This series must be read in order as each story continues straight of the end of the other. Brooke’s word smithing and style makes this an out of this world ride as we follow the Thomas Security team as they try to capture the evil men who will stop at nothing to get what they want. The usual danger and drama, threats and violence, secrets and action, planning and chases, betrayal and lies intensifies. I continue to sit on the edge of my seat as I read page after page of goodness and soaking up each and every word that Brooke so effortlessly strings together to give us an amazing ride. It is not just a story it is so much more it is an experience, it is an obsession, it is an adventure, it is just sooooo, much more.
James and the team continue to plan and plot ways to get to the very men that are causing them no end of trouble but they are also causing violence to others without any though but themselves. James knows he need to put an end to them but time is running out. As things heat up and become more intense so does the pressure and more lies and secrets are being revealed. Just when they think things are going their way, boom they find themselves facing something totally new.
I am not sure my poor heart can take much more that is how good these books are. I have upped my smoking because I just can’t put the book down. Sleep? It’s over rated when you need to follow this amazing stories. I cannot give these stories enough justice with my words alone.
I am about to delve into the fifth and final book to this series. I can’t wait, in fact I am not going to wait. See you all in my review of Sorin book 5.
Usually I try to write a summary before I give my opinion. But the book is action packed and kind of hard to give a simple summary. This book is part of a series and I felt like I had walked into something and wasn’t fully aware of what was going on. I do suggest reading the other books first. Some stuff was explained but other stuff was just hinted at. I think if I had read the other books beforehand I would have given it a higher rating.
It was a little slow for me to get into at first but by the time it ended I really wanted to know what was going on. And now I have to find the next book because this one ended on a cliff hanger.
I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily review this book. This is my honest review. The opinions in this review are 100% my own.
5 Stars
Lucian is the superb fourth book in the James Thomas Series by Brooke Sivendra.!!! The story is an intense romantic suspense with excitement, delusions, a code, deception, secrets, action, adventure, mystery, car chases, betrayal, obsession, manipulation, complications, time factors, risks, interrogation, set ups, loyalty, family, shoot outs, drama, danger, threats, chemistry, passion, intrigue, tension, humour, twists, discoveries, violence, cross-continental travel, evil organisations, mind games, palpable suspense, loyalty, and camaraderie.
WOW, things are heating up in more ways than one! This story really threw in a few massive twists and turns that I certainly didn’t see coming! After the events in the previous book/s, things don’t get a chance to settle down- as a deadly game of cat and mouse now ensues. I loved that we got so much more of James and Deacon’s backstories. And we finally begin to get some answers as to why he’s being hunted. I also applaud Ms. Sivendra for her attention to detail, even creating a religion, language, customs, and culture, for the cult members. Genius!!
The only thing I noticed was that the events in chapter 20 really should have been slotted in-between chapters 23 and 24, because the timeline is out of sink otherwise.
I am in awe of all the intricately connected details, and the level of tension and suspense infused into the storyline, with all the many and varied clever touches Ms. Sivendra managed to weave into this multi-layered storyline. It is a true testament to her writing prowess!
Recap:
This is such a fantastic story. I am really having trouble finding the words to do this book/series the justice it deserves. The characters are beyond perfect. They are complex, fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws. They had me completely invested in them and the outcome of their story from word go. I was eagerly and quite anxiously following along as the story unfolded. I spent a lot of the time on the edge of my seat, my heart pounding through all the adrenaline inducing action and jaw dropping revelations. Completely riveted by the story, I wouldn’t put it down and read it all in one sitting.
This series is one continuing story, so you really should read the previous book/s before starting on this one- as there is important information, storyline, and character introductions which you should know in order to fully appreciate this book! The best thing is that all the books in this fantastic series are available right now…. YAY!!!!! So there is no waiting between books! #WINNING
This is so well woven, with a massive amount of clever plotting and intricate layering. I am so impressed with Ms. Sivendra’s masterful storytelling talents. She may not realise it, yet but she’s just gained an avid stalker, um I mean fan, yes, an avid fan!
You know when you read a book that is sooo good it completely captures you- sweeping you off your feet, consuming you in a way where reality is suspended and all you can think about is the story? A story that is so great you can’t stop at just one book- you need to hunt down the entire series to devour, because you’ve developed a serious addiction and need your next fix, STAT? Where you become so consumed by the addiction, you then proceed to stalk the author, and chasing down every book she’s ever written, caught in a one-clicking frenzy- only to end up on a book-binge of epic proportions, hoping like hell she’s got more books in the works because you’ll never tire of her stories- ever? Well Ms. Sivendra is one of those authors- her books are completely and irreversibly addictive. I should have a massive book-binging hangover, but I don’t! Because I loved every second of every mind-blowing minute I spent between her pages . I really couldn’t get enough, and let’s face it at this stage I’d read her shopping list, just to get a ‘fix’
Highly recommended reading. Really, it’s a MUST READ, and should be on everybody’s TBR!!!
Kudos! And thank you, Ms. Sivendra!
