Very disappointing!

I have read the previous books and was totally disappointed by this one. Agent Darger has been an annoying character who draws no sympathy from the reader, rather just a disinterest. This ended the Agent VD saga for me.

good but...

the story is engaging, the characters likeable, but it is irritating how much the main character is constantly such a lone wolf, breaking protocol when it isn't necessary for the story, and ends up causing the death of a coworker and usually injury to herself. it isn't necessary and with a few small changes the stories would be just as good and far less irritating. a strong female character can be just as strong when playing by the rules.

Great

THIS REVIEW IS FOR BOTH THE AUDIOBOOK AND EBOOK VERSIONS
Again great work from this narrator as well as the author. All the characters are interesting and for a mafia story it's great well written and graphic. I wasn't expecting some of the content but it was a great experience. I recommend it!

same old

these books are becoming too unrealistic.i really enjoyed the first few but every one is darger physically getting into a it with a killer and the killer dying. it'd be great if one got arrested just once. I'm probably done with the series after this one.

There is no "I" in team

This character is sorely lacking in so many skills. That she's an FBI agent is scary on its own let alone this is fiction. I enjoy books with strong, smart female leads - Violet is sorely lacking in the smarts department. I'm done with this series and maybe the best thing is for Violet to find a new job. While she was gathering information she was not able to trust anyone more than herself and unfortunately an innocent was killed and the outcome could have been much better if she'd communicated with people she trusted. Oh well - no more Darger for me.

Love me some Darger!

The narrator is fabulous and really makes the characters come alive. Although the basic premise of the book is nearly identical to the previous installments, the actual storyline along with the character development and the mix of colorful language, romance, violence, and humor that I suppose only a partnership like that of Vargus and McBain could concoct more than makes up for it.

I think I'm downright addicted to this series at this point and I'm looking forward to the first of the books focusing on Loshak. In fact, I downloaded it before I started listening to "Bad Blood," so I'm going to start listening right now!

HARD HEADED VIOLET DOES IT AGAIN

Violet drives me crazy! She is so stubborn. But that makes me anxious to read the book. LOL🤗🤩

Skip this one.

Have followed this series. Writing is decent, characters were initially interesting. This one was not worth my time. Incredibly gory about a gangland murder squad. Plotless. The attempt to lead the reader to empathize with the “assassin” for the squad was disheartening. Violet really loses her way in this one. Stopped halfway and skipped to the last chapter and wasn’t surprised at the ending. Was in keeping though with the unbelievable and conspiracy theory land tale. Narrator as always more than decent.

I do not recommend

This book is terrible. The writing was good the gore A plus but the plot was so unbelievable. Darger the MC I hate, Loshack was growing on me but then he sucked too, Lucke I liked in book 1 and hated in this book, too political in this book and it was done so wrong. Nothing involving investigating skills was done right, the FBI in this book was worse than the local police department in terms of investigation and operations, and everything was so wrong. Darger can’t keep a gun to save her life and literally she hasn’t . She’s been shot (multiple times), hit (multiple times), drugged, stabbed, handcuffed, abducted, she’s been in a violent car crash, and the only thing missing was being burned but she managed to burn a shed but she never dies. She caused so many people to die and she never got reprimanded or written up. Owen her boyfriend she left for the FBI and now she kind of sort of left the FBI. I don’t know at this point. I’m not reading any more of these Darger books anymore. The series instead of improving got worse. This is laughable. I’m done. I don’t recommend this series at all unless you want to be disappointed.

Not up to the series standards

I have loved the previous Darger books but I can't get into this one at all. I finally gave up on it and I never do that but I just couldn't do it anymore. I'm not a fan of the cataracts or the story line and the writing style seems different. I stopped on chapter 25 and I felt like we're hasn't seen much of Darger.
Very disappointing
