Great series

I really liked how the author started incorporating things about Chase's past in the story. It definitely gave you a better understanding of why the guy is the way he is. Of course, there was plenty of action, and the jokes between the characters were entertaining

Not a series I could recommend.

A bit too “Perils of Pauline” for my taste. Just one crisis after another. Did like the reader. Good ear for accents.

I did not finish it. Too many chase scenes.

I do not care for movies that spend half their time or more on chase or fight scenes. For books it is even worse since there are no visual effects. I got through a third of the book before stopping. At least half of that was chase or fight scenes. If you like those then you will enjoy the book.
