Some ghosts refuse to
stay buried . . .
Prophet and Tom have been
through the wringer more times than they can count, both as partners in the
field and in life. Yet despite it all, they’ve built something great together.
But now they need to protect it again: Prophet’s old nemesis, John Morse, is
back and threatening everything he loves.
Prophet is driven enough
to take John down alone, and with a chance to do exactly that on the table, he
runs with it, risking himself in the process. But trusting Tom to help him is
so much more than mission critical.
It’s the final stand, and
with Tom and his team behind him, Prophet’s in for the fight of his life. Then
a figure from his past goes missing, and the consequence of an old mission
rears its head. As complications and destruction mount all around them, getting
out alive becomes the most important mission of their lives.
Cat gives this one 4 Meows...
This is a book 4 in the series,
and you do need to read these in order. This one takes up after their last and
you really need to have read it to understand what's going on. I also suggest
if it has been a long time since you have read at least the last book to
refresh yourself. I got lost at times since it had been a long time.
This goes back to Prophet
and Tom and John is back after Prophet.
Prophet has to take down John to end all the problems, but can he take
down his former best friend and lover. Tom is determined to help him do
whatever it takes to stop the nightmares and help them get on with their lives.
This story is full of hot,
interesting characters, lots of bad boys and who do you trust? There is a lot
going on and you have to really follow the story to keep up. I really love this
series and hope there is more, perhaps Cillian and Mal? There is so many twists
and turns and just when you think you know somebody there is a twist to make
you gasp. You won't want to quit once you start this!
Warning: There are scenes
of torture and violence.
Mark Larchmont does a
pretty good narration. He doesn't go
overboard on giving every character vices but enough you can keep up with who
is who. I do like the accents on Cillian. The pacing is good and he keeps you
absorbed in the action.
Excerpt…
Chapter One
In the story of Prophet’s
life, he’d played his own hero enough times to know that waiting to ride off
into the sunset with one of his own was both unrealistic and stupid.
But shit, he’d
still hoped for it every single time.
At least that’s what he’d always
thought, even if he’d never said the words out loud. Everyone wanted a hero, no
matter how goddamned capable they were. If anyone said differently, they were
goddamned lying.
But the man he was
currently leaning on for support as he navigated the snow-covered sidewalk with
bare, numb feet wasn’t a lie. Farthest thing from, and Prophet had bet his own
life on that enough times to be sure of it.
“Come on, Proph—got you,”
Tom said quietly, his voice a soothing drawl that Prophet had come to depend
on.
That would bother the fuck
out of him some days more than others, but he’d have to remember the times it
didn’t. Like now, as he let Tom guide him the whole way back into their
building, lock the door behind them while never mentioning the fact that he still
held Prophet’s boots in his hand even as Prophet shuddered from the cold.
Instead, they stood
together in the hallway for a moment, processing. Assessing. Having his best
friend turn into his biggest enemy had been a betrayal he’d known about, but
discovering that man had been in his house, with Tom, with Remy?
Now, it was war.
His wrists ached, the way
they always did in extreme cold, but he’d be damned if he’d pay them any
special attention. Instead, he directed his burning hatred of the guy who’d
once been his best friend like it could inject itself directly into his bones
and heal them. That anger? That would pull him through hell every time.
But the cold had fucked
with his head, the thaw happening too slowly for his own good.
“What’s in the basement?”
Tom’s interruption to his thoughts was quiet but Prophet heard the tension in
his words, felt it in the arm of steel wrapped around his rib cage. “Cameras?”
Prophet blew out a harsh
breath, his lungs still pained from the cold. “Yes, but there’s no egress in
the basement.”
“Think maybe he made
one?” Tom refused to say John’s name. Prophet couldn’t blame him. He eased away
from Tom’s hold, forced himself to stand steady on his numb-as-fuck feet and
only then did he draw his weapon. Tom followed suit and took point on the
steps, Prophet following close behind. They found the big room empty, save for
the boiler and water heater, along with the generator and electric panels and
several storage boxes that Prophet recognized as Cillian’s. It was clean and
dry with no place to hide.
“Cameras seem to be in
working order. I’ll have Cillian run the footage,” Tom said. “I’m surprised
neither of you thought to make this a panic room.”
“Cillian had plans drawn
up, but we’d need elevators. Secret panels in the wall. It got complicated.”
But now that Remy was in the picture, those complications suddenly didn’t seem
so complicated.
