About this listen
"Enthralling… Readers won't want this adrenaline-rich story to end. " —Booklist (starred review)
Thief. Manipulator. Con artist. Call it what you will - Bianca St. Ives is the best in the business.
Growing up, Bianca St. Ives knew she was different from all her friends. Instead of playing hopscotch or combing her dolls' hair, she studied martial arts with sensei masters and dismantled explosives with special-ops retirees. Her father prepped her well to carry on the family business. Now a striking beauty with fierce skills, the prodigy has surpassed the master.
She's known as the Guardian. Running a multinational firm with her father, she makes a living swindling con men out of money they stole - and she's damn good at it. She does things on her own terms. But her latest gig had a little hiccup - if you count two hundred million dollars and top secret government documents going missing as little. Her father also died on the mission. The thing is, the US government doesn't believe he's really dead. They'll stop at nothing to capture Richard St. Ives, a high-value target and someone who has been on most-wanted lists all over the world for over two decades, and they mean to use Bianca as bait. With only a fellow criminal for backup and her life on the line, it's up to Bianca to uncover the terrifying truth behind what really happened…and set it right, before it's too late.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,916
At 27, magician Natalie Webb is already a has-been. Shunned by the magic world after a disastrous liaison with an older magician, she now lives alone with her pigeons and a pile of overdue bills in a New Jersey apartment. In a desperate ploy to make extra cash, she follows up on an old offer to write a feature magazine article - on the art of cheating at cards. In the process, Natalie is dazzled by a poker cheat's sleight of hand and soon finds herself facing a proposition - to help pull off a $1.5 million magic trick that, if done successfully, no one will ever even suspect happened.

If she or her sisters reveal that they saw planes bearing swastikas, the gestapo will silence them—by any means necessary.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

My best friend Basia dragged me to the beach for her idea of a vacation. All those annoying people, sand in embarrassing places - not exactly R & R for a girl who doesn't like the sun, the ocean, or bathing suits. I couldn't wait to get back to work. But things started looking up when I ran into Elvis and Xavier Zimmerman. We discovered we had a lot in common: gaming, anchovies, hacking.

The streetwalkers, the drug pushers, the bands of looking-for-trouble punks haunting the mean streets at midnight don’t intimidate her. These are her people. The guy she finds bound and bloodied in the trunk of her latest conquest, a flashy new BMW, is a different breed entirely.

Alice Pearse is a mostly happily married mother of three, an attentive daughter, an ambivalent dog owner, a part-time editor, a loyal neighbor, and a Zen commuter. She is not: a cook, a craftswoman, a decorator, an active PTA member, a natural caretaker, or the breadwinner. But when her husband makes a radical career change, Alice is ready to lean in - and she knows exactly how lucky she is to land a job at Scroll, a hip, young startup that promises to be the future of reading.

It’s not that Micayla Lange is afraid of the clinking she hears coming from the first floor of the empty McMansion she’s housesitting for her uncle Nicco. She’s a cop, after all. It’s just that finding out her boyfriend was cheating on her was enough drama for one night. Now she’s alone on New Year’s Eve, wearing flannel pajamas and wielding a Glock 22 as she zeroes in on the unmistakable source of the sound: Uncle Nicco’s private office.

A great "first in the series!"
Usually the first in the series is just an introduction, this was indeed that with a great story and a cliffhanger that had me downloading book 2 almost immediately after and book 2 was just as good! Narration perfect!

Absolutely loved it
Non-stop action and adventure awaits you in this novel from Karen Robards....there are twists and turns throughout and even though you crave each new chapter to see what happens next, you don't want the hair-raising adventure to end. Thoroughly satisfying!

Ready for number 2
Engaging story, Strong heroine. Touch of romance. Some twist and turns. Not a fan of cliff hangers but final scene was effective in having me ready to buy next story.

Nice Thrill Ride
This audio novel has excellent presentation, and is more then well put together. The surprise at the end really caught me off guard.
I would be most delighted to become a fan of the Author and Narrative reader. They both made this story exciting and paired exceptionally well.
I rate this a five star movie quality performance.

Definitely your new choice
Great- FABULOUS- amazeballs narrating. She is perfect. The only thing I can say is that if there isn’t a sequel- that will be the worst decision the author would make.
Enjoy the fun packed thrill ride where you won’t want it to end.
Aloha, & happy listening.

Edge of your seat excitement!.
Amazing narrator, Julia Whelan, kept the momentum going throughout this well written novel by Karen Robards. Intense predicaments kept me pacing at high speed while the suspense built from one situation to the next. I will definitely listen to the rest of the series and other books by this author and narrator. Worth every minute (and credit) invested!

Action packed twists and turns
Not predictable. The unexpected plot twists made this a unique experience for me. I very much enjoyed the budding romatic relationship aspect as well.

Good story and narration!
This was a very good book. Lots of action, great, interesting twists, lots of dialogue and very entertaining.
I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
I love a book with a strong female lead. And Bianca is totally in that category.
As for the narration, it is excellent. I am a big fan of Julia Whelan. She does such a great job on male voices and reads with emotion.
