Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Oh hell yes, it was SO good! The story was well placed, everything slowly unfolding at the perfect moment. The narration was even better, the level of emotion poured into each word brought all the characters to life.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I really enjoyed Tate. The way he was written as well as the voice Leslie gave him. He was the one person that break down the walls Hawke hid behind. He reminded Hawke what it meant to live, love and be part of something amazing.
Which character – as performed by Joel Leslie – was your favorite?
Mattie! That little boy seriously stole the show. The best way to describe Mattie would be meek but adorable.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
“Daddie, can I open my eyes now?” That’s all I’ll say, you’ll have to listen.
Any additional comments?
I cannot get enough of this series. I wish the audiobooks could be released one a week until Leslie catches up with the ones already written. And I’m quite sad I can’t just que up the next book immediately.

These characters, broken and twisted souls, want revenge on the person or persons that broke them. They’ve all lost something that can’t be replaced and in the process, locked away their humanity in order to do what must be done. Sometimes they have tunnel vision and start down the wrong path in an attempt to achieve that revenge, but they aren’t so far gone they can’t be set on the right path.

Hawke lost his wife and unborn child and he will stop at nothing to bring down the people responsible. Even if that means using another man’s child as leverage to get that person to do what he wants. Somewhere along the way, his heart that Hawke was certain was permanently broken, begins to beat again.

Tate’s fear of Hawke slowly unravels and becomes something more dangerous, love. How could someone as cold and callous as the brooding vigilante every care about him? But Tate is also stubborn, loyal to a fault and determined to protect Mattie at any cost.

Leslie pours all of the pain and anguish these men feel into the voices he gave them. I could hear their unique tones begin to change as their feelings toward one another changed. THAT is what makes a good narrator.

Definitely recommend this series, it’s so good I’ll likely listen to them again. In fact, I think when each new book comes out, I’ll go back and listen to them all again so everything is fresh in my mind.
