About this listen

When she becomes a madman's target, Eve Duncan's daughter Jane must team up with longtime love interest Seth Caleb in this suspense novel from the number one best-selling author of Smokescreen.

Forensic sculptor Eve Duncan and ex-Navy Seal Joe Quinn are about to give Seth Caleb their trust for the most important duty of his life: keeping their daughter, Jane, safe at any cost. Her talent as an artist has caught the attention of a brilliant psychopath with a violent past.

Seth, Jane's strongest ally and fiercest protector, is determined to keep her out of danger, but that becomes nearly impossible when Jane is forced to take matters into her own hands and confronts the madman who wants her for himself...and wants Seth Caleb dead.

As Jane and Seth chase down their bloodthirsty adversary, they finally commit to a life together - in the culmination of the epic love story that fans have been eagerly anticipating. As the two come face to face with danger, one thing is made clear: It will take both of them working together to confront and defeat this evil.

It is a fantasy!

This story is a fantasy with cult figures and amazing powers. Not my normal listen. I might have missed that part when I ordered the book.
The dialogue seems forced and is excessively strident.
While a good effort, the Scottish accents were inconsistent and made listening very difficult at times.
If you enjoy a battle between really good guys and really bad guys, you will enjoy it.

Worst Scottish Accents

I like Iris Johansen for a light read / listen but I’m not sure I can get past chapter 1 because of the appalling Scottish accents. They are the worst I’ve ever heard. I’m from Scotland but I’m not asking for perfect dialects, these are just so dreadful it’s hard to listen to! She is almost comically awful!
