Eagle Eyes are watching…all the time…
Well, I was actually surprised by this series. Eagle Eyes was so much better than the previous Julie C. Gilbert series that I listened to. Maybe the suspense was better or maybe it was just the high tech that, though disturbingly invasive, reminded me of a modern day version of the old 1980s Knight Rider, but I truly enjoyed this one! I was also a big fan of the fact that the suspense and technology are front and center, no romance.
Violence In Vegas:
This was a really great start to the three book series. I found the scenes in the tunnels under Las Vegas to be particularly interesting. This story also brings awareness to a serious but little written about problem, human trafficking right here in the USA.
Audiobook:
I listened to the 3-in-1 audiobook so I really got to enjoy these stories back-to-back without waiting for a new release. The narrator is a new one to me but she did a great job capturing my attention and immersing me in the story. The sound quality was good and nothing marred the listening experience. If you enjoy clean read suspense with lots of fancy technology I would definitely recommend the Eagle Eyes series from Julie C. Gilbert.
(I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)
This review is for the audio book.
I really enjoyed this book, just wished it had been longer but great if you only have a few hours to kill on a car journey or something. I really liked that I never knew what was going to happen and it had a number of twists taking the story in another direction entirely, the Las Vegas setting was a good choice. I hope this is just the start of many more books to come, as I think it has set it up to be a good series. I like all the characters from the tough as nails FBI agent to the little who asks too many questions to the helpful homeless people.
Megan’s friend’s hotel is under attack or that is what it feels like when rooms get ransacked and guests tyres are slashed, so she calls in her good friend the FBI agent, to investigater. Before Megan has even stepped in the door things escalate with someone throwing a Molotov cocktail leading Megan to go under cover as a waitress, giving her free access to all parts of the hotel. Las Vegas is famous for it conventions and the hotel is no exception, so when a bigwig wants to hold a last minute masquerade party they comply handing out invites to all the guest. The only problem is someone invited men with guns who take Megan’s friend and the bigwig hostage. Megan must travel the underground tunnels of Las Vegas to save her friend but not everything is what they seem. And more lives are at risk than just Megan’s and her friends.
I like the narrator, she had a nice speaking voice that is easy to listen to.
