Shelby Alexander series #5
Narrated by Theo Holland
Run Time: 3 hrs and 50 mins
Summary:
Shelby’s enemies crawl out of the woodwork for another round. It’s definitely personal. They go after his daughter. He’s still growing apart from Carly, but they’re still close enough that she calls in a favor when her friend gets in big trouble.
Additional Comments:
- This is a novella, so things happen pretty quickly.
- If this is your first Shelby Alexander story, you’ll be treated to lifelike characters and not so realistic circumstances. But that’s the nature of thrillers.
- If this is not your first Shelby Alexander story, you’ll probably notice that almost every character has the same brand of humor. It works in most cases. It’s a great sense of humor. It’s just bizarre that almost every character, except the bad guys has it.
- The story’s certainly action packed.
- I enjoy Shelby as a character, but in the real world, he would be sued so many times, he wouldn’t have two cents to rub together. As it happens, everybody who might think to sue him happens to wind up dead, so that’s … convenient.
- Content Warnings: Adult content. Check. Very strong language. Also check, but it seemed a tad less than previous books.
- Shelby gets stuff done.
- There was pure 5-ish minutes of the bad guy infodumping, but everything else moved at lightning speeds.
Conclusion:
Whether you’re just coming into the series or have followed each of Shelby’s adventures, it’s a nice, intense piece of escapism, if you can take the strong language. Would NEVER be thrown on a clean reads list. I only mention that because I tend to read/listen to clean reads.
