Helping him to loosen up
I laughed, I cried, I said “oh my”, and that was just in the first couple chapters. This author continues to pair her humor with amazingly detailed stories about love and danger in this newest addition to her Psi-Ops series. We get to see so many of our favorite single characters in action as they help Dead Wheel out of his stone suit and into his HEA. I love how real the author makes her characters and their situations, you almost feel like you’re in the room. And then again, some times you wish you were. I consider this book another big win for the author and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Wheeler is trapped in stone thinking hell be there forever. Then a beautiful voice calls to him, a touch brings him freedom. His mate.
Sammy tried to tell the delivery drivers that the statue of the Adonis in half zipped jeans didn’t belong with her. The sexy statue calls to her and as an accident causes it to come to life, it couldn’t have happened at a better time. The bad guys have shown up and they want him and her.
Sexy and funny!

Sammie moves south and is trying to adjust to southern hospitality and a new job at the art gallery. A wrong delivery leaves her between a rock and a hard place. Her small metal statue is a giant stone statue and a whole heap of issues. The book is a fun read with a insta love mating, a rock hard gargoyle and some interesting characters. I adore the Irish twins! It’s not a deep read but nice for a day when you want to get lost in a paranormal story for a few hours.
Love the vampire gargoyle side of wheeler. His power was awesome. Bill and his finger necklace had me rolling with laughter. Samantha’s power was cool. Love their relationship and the relationship of all the guys
Love this series can’t get enough
I loved Wheeler and Sammy.
Sammy has always known she was different. After an incident at her old Job, Sammy makes the decision to leave and start over. She is at her new job for an Art Gallery and waiting for one last package for the upcoming Art Exhibit/show. Instead of the Table-top sized statue, she ends up with a big, hunky looking, real-life looking stone statue of a Man.
Yup, you got it, Wheeler arrived in his Gargoyle form. As Sammy is trying to solve the mystery of the mistaken delivery, Abel (who is involved with the Corporation) shows up with his crew to grab Wheeler and “eliminate” the girl. Abel comes from the same “blood-line” as Wheeler but is showing signs of the tainted, unlike Wheeler; so he is hoping for some answers.
I had definitely had some LOL moments.
I don’t want to give anything away so let’s just say Mandy’s story-telling gave new meaning to Marinating and Bug Zappers 😉
Get ready for lots of Laughs, lots of action and some hot moments.
As always, Gus and Bill are there to steal the show. Now I have to “patiently” wait for the next one. *SIGH*
Savannah, Ga
Samantha or Sammy was from New York but moved to Savannah for a new job as head of an art gallery. She is also a little bit more the human so she has a secret she keeps. Like making things float or shooting electricity out of her hands. Is not something she trust very much.
Wheeler summerbee is an outcast who has been hunted by the corporation and his own government. But now he he has turned to stone . Vampire/ gargoyle mix
Then the main bad guy for this story Abel he is a serial killer. Raised by a serial killer. He lacks empathy and loved to torture people. He works for the corporation and his job his the get wheeler.
OMG an action packed amazing adventure I could not put it down. It’s full drama, mystery, betrayal, spice, comedy, and so much more. I love the characters, the ops guys are hot and funny, then Bill and Gus are a trip lol oh and let’s not forget the bad guys most have them to hate on. Don’t miss it
Voluntarily review and I loved it
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
It was a great book!
Sammy loves her job at the gallery.
Instead of a table top sculpture, Sammy received a life size sculpture.
( and what a hunk ! )
Too bad it made out of stone.
Wheeler is having a bad day.
His stone form should be at the HQ, instead he was delivered to an art gallery.
Now, they all assume that he is part of the new exhibit.
What is Wheeler to do ?
The characters + storytelling were very captivating
It has all the ingredients that you need for an awesome book!
I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
I loved that Dead Wheel finds his turn at forever in Out of the Dark. The fact that Sammy not even knowing so much about who she is or the world of the supernatural is so easy to accept it because of her best friend makes it much easier for Wheeler. It was great to see all of the guys interacting and almost bumbling around as they are “saving” Dead Wheel. Everything was at a good pace and easy to follow. Even the bad guy in this was interesting to read about. I almost didn’t notice by the time everything was wrapping up. This book is part of a series. It can be read as a stand-alone. However, to best understand the characters and enjoy the book, you should read from the start.
Out of the Dark by Mandy M. Roth is bk 4 in the Shadow Agents series. This is Wheeler’s story and it is fantastic!! In the last book, the ending left Wheeler in bad straits and in this book, it picked up with the gang trying to figure out how to fix things but just haven’t been able to even do that. His current predicament gets him shipped to an art gallery where Sammy enters the picture.
She is a hoot!! The chemistry between them is sensational. I liked plot, the interaction between Wheeler’s new form and Sammy and the gang and Sammy. Plus add the bad guys into the mix. It’s a grand ole time!! Enjoyed the mix of awesomeness that is PNR fabulousness writing by Ms. Roth. I liked the action, laughs, heat and chemistry in this story and look forward to more!
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
I was so happy to get Wheelers book after what happened to him in the last one.
He has been turned to stone and was shipped to an art gallery, and to his mate. but the corporation wants him to and now they want her but he blood turned him back human and we all know how alpha these guys get when it comes to their women pus she is friends with another mate.
It is time for Wheeler to shine and find his happiness!
Wheeler Summerbee had been a victim of the heartless Corporation many years ago, but like others he managed to escape their evil clutches. He became an outcast until he joined with the Immortal Ops teams.
Going back to the previous book – poor Wheeler was turned into his gargoyle form, frozen in mid run trying to save his friends.
This is where this book takes over!
Samantha Ledford (Sammy) is the head of an art gallery, she is working late one night to check in a high price piece of metal art. What is dropped at her feet is anything but metal art. Instead she is faced with a very handsome work of art. A very lifelike man she refers to as Hercules in Jeans.
Sammy finds herself drawn to the handsome piece of stone. She has some special abilities of her own she is trying desperately to hide from everyone but hearing the statue speaking into her mind is definitely not one of them.
The Corporation is once again up to no good, this time it is Wheeler and Sammy they are after.
Now he just needs to become a real man again to take down some bad guys while also trying to protect the little woman who calls to him. As much as he hates the thought, he needs to let both his darkness forms come forward. The fearless and strong Gargoyle and the blood thirsty Vampire.
I can’t praise this entire series enough! Once you read one you just have to have more.
Wheeler and Sammy
5’s across the board-Narration, story, overall.
I loved the audio-somehow Bill is even funnier hearing him and after seeing a reader’s concept of him I kept seeing him every time I heard his voice. Oh, look for the little man’s heroic moves in this one.
Sammy was stuck with a giant stone statue of a really hot guy when she should have had a small sculpture to set up for the art show. With no one to help her what was she gonna do. The movers just left him–it–there. Suddenly she was falling and bleeding and some bad guys showed up.
So begins her introduction into the paranormal world–vampires, gargoyles, shifters, and some just crazy guys. Oh, yeah, her friend had discussed mates with her. Is she going to learn more up close and personal?
Wheeler had a problem. He was the stone statue and couldn’t turn back. The Ops guys want to help and are working on it. Will they be on time before the really bad guys step in?
For ops fans, our comic relief guys are back in the form of PNR and humans. The author never fails to give us hilarious situations along with supervillains, hot PNR guys, and their women who are often PNR as well. Oh, and plenty of steam. As a fan of gargoyles, I loved this one even more than usual. I recommend it to new readers and old fans alike.
Wheeler has been a super-patient lad waiting for his HEA!
When we last left Wheeler he’d just been encased in stone. Fast forward a few weeks and the gang still haven’t been able to break him out. But something goes awry when the twins, Car and Mac, try to ship him to HQ. Somehow he winds up us a new exhibit at a local gallery!
Sammy is enjoying her new job at the gallery. She did not envision lusting after a new work that has been delivered to her accidentally. She was expecting a table top sculpture, not a life size Greek God wearing jeans that look like they may just fall at any time! Neither did she envision armed men, things with lots of teeth or said hunky statue springing to life to protect her! She has always had some freaky things in her life but this is an all new level of cray-cray!
As usual be fearful of drinking anything when Bill and Gus appear, you know you’ll just end up snorting it all over the place! It appears there is a love triangle afoot between Gus, Mona and Aphrodite LOL! Wheeler may have been broken out of his prison but some bits of him seem still encased in throne whenever Sammy is around (Snort Snort)!
I so love this series and I’m desperate for Car and Mac to topple, my fellow Scots need to be felled by the love of a good woman!
