Although predictable for the genre, this was a good tale with all the requisite elements and a few twists and turns.

I had to read the final installment, but I’ll admit I found it dragged a bit, mainly because the contrivance of the diaries was wearing thin by the end of the second book. You have to be willing to seriously suspend your disbelief to buy this convoluted plot. Still, it was engaging enough to keep me listening.

The preaching and increasingly right wing propagandizing as the series progressed put me off. Joe, already the poster boy for bad decisions, was likable if not entirely believable, but in this book, his stubbornness and self righteousness were just too much. Good narration though.

Play at 1.2 speed. Not a good story. Worse narration. Glad it was free. Waste of my time

I gave all the first seven books a solid 5 stars, but this one didn’t quite work for me. First, I’m not a fan of prequels, especially one as short as this one. Even though I still love Lance, I felt cheated. All of this could have been worked into the first seven books or even left out, but more importantly, it felt like a lot of revisionist history happening, which is fine, except that it did nothing to advance the plot or my understanding of the characters.

I don’t know why I chose the book or why I stuck with it since I try to avoid stories involving South American drug cartels. This one was far too long, lacking focus, and filled with extraneous detail.

I am gradually becoming accustomed to the voice given to Nikki. I’m not talking about the accent, but the voice quality itself. The narrator, I think, does a really good job on the other characters, but there is just something super annoying about Nikki’s voice. That said, I obviously have kept listening for several books now. This time, however, I was really really annoyed by how sanctimonious Nikki has become. I also found the plot less tightly woven than usual.

Yes, it’s a heartbreaking love story. Of sorts. But it is also, and, for me, a sad story of lifelong obsession. I was able to put together many of the puzzle pieces, and predict some of the twists, though fortunately not all or I’d have stopped listening half way through this very long tale. Yes, it’s worth a credit because Chris Whitaker certainly can write and the narrator is excellent.

I got this because Scott Brick is the narrator. Glad I did. Tightly constructed plot, plenty of action and dolphins! Loved it.

These three books, 4-6, were a struggle to finish. I found it increasingly difficult to care about the drug world and its scummy characters or about what happened to Damien. If there’s a bad decision floating around the universe chances are excellent that it will find Damien Drake to breathe life into it.
