Review:
So the undeniably unique Deep Ops team has a
new challenge to face in this new story of betrayal, passion and deadly danger
that will leave you shocked and terrified as you learn the truth that has
eluded their leader for years. I loved
this series from the very first book—though I didn’t much doubt loving any
Zanetti story—and have just fallen more an more in love with it as the series
went on. I’m not sure if it will end
with Angus and Nari’s story, but if it does I can honestly say that it was and ending
that will not leave you wanting in any way. Our story picks up right where the
last one ended, but Angus and his team are being torn apart as their bosses
sack the team and their time together runs out.
Angus has been after a serial killer he knows is still alive but the
rest of the world is dead, and he refuses to give up the hunt. Nari fears for his sanity, but at the same
time she understands that his instincts and skills are enough that he might be
on to something as his time finds themselves in the crosshairs of a copycat
killer. Angus tries to push Nari away for her own safety but she sticks like a
burr and soon the desire they have both been denying since they met explodes
and they are left with the emotional and mental dangers that falling in love
leaves them in and it makes Nari even more the target Angus was determined to
keep her from becoming. Angus knows that their lives are all in danger until he
can capture this killer that has been toying with him for years, but as the
clock ticks down in his mind he can no longer deny he has fallen for Nari and
needs her in his life. When she is
captured by the psychotic bastard, Angus will do anything and risk everything
to keep her safe, even if it costs his own life, but Nari is just as determined
to protect the man she loves. Boy was
this story full of CRAZY. I loved
every single second of this story and there was not a single moment I wanted to
put it down. Angus is a badass, but his
doubts and fears on top of the years chasing and profiling psycho-killers have
left him a little off and a lot on edge.
He knows something is off with this killer, but he continues to be
unable to place his finger fully on what it is, until it is almost too late. He is definitely intelligent, but his
sweetness, dedication, and the way he cares for those he loves and counts as
his people made me love him even more.
And lets not forget he certainly owns the strangest, sweetest, and craziest
dog in the world which just makes him cooler.
Nari has lived her whole life trying to meet the unreachable standards
her father sets, but that isn’t really the woman she wants to be, and the more
time she spends with her new team the more she learns that woman is perfectly
fine. She is smart, sassy, kickass, and sensual, but when she is standing up to
and for her man and friends she is the best.
I loved seeing her in action and kickass and taking names, but the best
times were when she was able to remind Angus that he is more than just a
hunter, that he is a man and the perfect match for the woman she is finding
herself to be. The passion between these two has been simmering since the very
first book and when it finally explodes the fire is as hot as a volcanic
eruption, but underlying that is the friendship they have built, however reluctantly,
and the emotional connection that will carry them through for all their years
together. This series has been intriguing, fascinating and amazing from the
very beginning and we have been waiting for Nari and Angus to finally admit
their attraction and feelings for several books now, but I for one can tell you
this story surpassed even my expectations with a truly unexpected villain and
so many twists and turns along the way.
The ending was sweet and seemed to bring the whole teams full circle in
the best way and (if its fully over) gave us a glimpse of them building their
lives together. I’m hoping their might
be more in the series or a spinoff so we get to see these folks again, but if
not I am fully satisfied to have enjoyed this whole series and know I will be
back to visit again sometimes in the future.
Another jewel in Zanetti’s collection.
