À propos de cet audio
His Vengeance Will Be Repeated …
A woman’s slashed, incinerated corpse is found in a seedy New Orleans apartment. Her killer is certain there were no witnesses, unaware that his every move was seen by a beautiful stranger—from her bed in a bayou cottage on the outskirts of town....
And Repeated …
Weeks later, another violent vision shatters Olivia Benchet’s sleep. Convinced a serial killer is stalking the city, Olivia turns to the authorities. But jaded detective Rick Bentz doesn’t believe her—even when a second body turns up, slain in exactly the same bizarre, ritualistic manner Olivia described....
And Repeated …
As New Orleans panics in the icy grip of a merciless killer, Olivia is frustrated by Bentz’s skepticism. But soon her dreams are invaded by images of another murder. One that has yet to be committed. This time, Olivia recognizes not only the victim’s face—but the murderer’s. And both are closer than she ever imagined....

"Decent" Free Option
I had thought that this book would focus on new characters.. using New Orleans PD Detectives Rick Bentz and Reuben Montoya as occasional interlopers in the story - driving the investigation forward as little more than a plot device.
I was wrong.
Bentz is a central character in the story: developing a relationship with beautiful, bellicose psychic 'Olivia Benchet' (while trying to hunt down a religious zealot Serial Killer that she saw in a vision) and exploring the homicide investigator's back story & his relationship with a College-aged daughter. 'Cold Blooded' fits into a true "series" nicely.
The book displays Lisa Jackson's impressive skills at writing realistic innuendo-laced dialogue, acceptable vocabulary/prose, and an appreciated attention paid to her signature romance & sexual tension.
Unfortunately, she also makes a couple of mistakes:
• Jackson attempts to pull off TWO Love Triangles in the book - an overreach
• The almost exact psychopathy in the killer in Book One of the series ('Hot Blooded') drives the villain in this one. It came across as annoyingly lazy
I was left with an odd combination of overwhelmed and incurious.
Reader Alyssa Bresnahan is a capable narrator - but notably undistinguished on this recording, too. She exhibits professional diction, creditable timbre & cadence, and a firm understanding of the author's intended tone.. but does nothing to make her performance stand out (completely ignoring accents like "a thick Texas Drawl" called for by the text, for example). The overall presentation is "average".
Altogether, the audiobook merits 6 stars out of 10. It was a serviceable Romantic Suspense-Thriller as a 'Plus' option.. but not distinctive enough to rate a Credit if they ask for one.
