I looked forward to this book coming up on my queue, but when it did, I found myself disappointed. The story started off slow and, at least to where I closed the book, never picked up. There was lots of graphic violence to show how bad the cartel was, but that was to be expected. I would have powered through but for the fact that the reader who did the cartel was terrible. I got to where I dreaded those important parts of the book. It’s too bad because the reader for Hawke actually was good for that character. I would have given the Hawke reader 4 stars and the cartel reader 0 stars if I could. The 2 stars is a simple averabe
I gave this story 3 stars and didn’t return the book for one reason: the two aunts. No spoiler here, but their appearance made the book worth the listen, at least to that point.
