Second Sight: An Away from Keyboard Romantic Suspense Standalone
Away from Keyboard, Book 4
By: Patricia D. Eddy
Narrated by: Aiden Snow, Grace Grant
This book is absolutely amazing, it grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it straight to the end. Patricia D. Eddy is a gifted author and a master at writing suspenseful romance novels, this story took me to the edge of my seat several times. This book is Dax Holloway and Evianna Archer’s story. Special Forces Sergeant Dax Holloway was tortured and held captive for fifteen months. He has settled into civilian life, started an elite investigative firm called Second Site. That firm became his life and his existence, it was all he had until she walks in and changes how he sees things. Evianna is working on the project of a life time, coding and creating new home security technology that will become a household name. But not everything is on the up and up at her job and she finds she is in danger, the police can only do so much so she turns to Second Sight for security and to find out who is going after her. Dax usually works behind the scenes but when several of his colleagues get called away to work another job he works more directly with the client, Evianna. I loved these two together, Evianna was drawn to Dax, she really got him and what was behind the broken shell of himself. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, some angst, action, mystery, thrilling suspense, heartfelt and emotional moments and a great romance. Patricia D Eddy, thank you for another awesome story, I love the characters in this series, they are perfectly imperfect, broken in their own ways yet they are naturally born heroes who continue to help others in one way or another.
And for the fabulous narration, Aiden Snow and Grace Grant are fabulous narrators voice artists. They continue to do an awesome job bringing these character to life. Their portrayal of the characters is spot on, they take each role and make it their own, sounding naturally and just as I picture them to sound. They set the perfect tone for the story capture the character’s emotions and projects them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen
After reading On His Six and seeing Hell through Ryker’s memories, I knew that Dax’s story would be heartwrenching. And it was, in all the right ways.
Dax was so, so very broken. I cried through his retelling of his time in Hell and losing his sight. I felt his discomfort in not being able to see how he came across to Evianna in their initial meeting.
Evianna makes for a perfect counterpart to Dax – strong, willful, intelligent and understanding. She steps into his world without knowing what he needs, and then rises to the challenge.
We saw past characters, but the story stood strong on its own. You don’t need to have read the previous three books…. but do yourself a favor and read them anyhow.
This author has a way with storytelling that just pulls you in. When I pick up her books, I know that nothing useful will get done until her characters are done telling me their stories.
I look forward to the next, and (not so) secretly hope we still see a lot more of Ry and Dax as they both learn to heal
Dax and Evianna book. Wow. Words can’t express the pain and ove poured from Dax character. You are emotionally drained, but it’s worth it. From page one until the end and every twists and turns, ups and downs you go through theor journey with them. Abe love Ry and Dax brotherly bond. Wow.
I loved the book !!!!
A good one!
Great book with wonderful characters, this is the second book in the series. I loved both
A little heavy on the computer stuff but still a very good romantic suspense novel.
Good read, well developed story line and romantic. Enjoy!
