About this listen

When it comes to talented new recruits at the Federal Underworld Agency, Nora Jacobs is only half the story....

As a fox-shifter, Shayne Davies gets no respect in an underworld run by the fearsome and powerful - werewolves and vampires, sorcerers, demons, and mythical faerie creatures. Even at home, Shayne is still treated like the brat of the pack. Her mom constantly nags, her intended (but unwanted) mate ensures plenty of awkward silences, and Shayne is even expected to act submissive to the pack's future alpha...a six-year-old.

Yeah. Time for Plan B.

All Shayne wants is to prove that she's got what it takes to run with the big dogs, which is why she is constantly hounding Nick Gorgeous to make her an agent at the "Double D", the Detroit Division of the FUA. That's an easy "No" for Gorgeous, who keeps a strict "No Shayne Davies" policy. Well, never say never.

When mysterious underworld criminals steal a load of bomb materials, the FUA picks up a messy case nobody wants to touch. It's bad enough that a demon horde is involved, but now the annoying FBI has sent out an agent to babysit the investigation. To make matters worse, the notoriously uncooperative master vampire Henry Stadther has control over what may be the only key to breaking the case: a handsome human detective. The whole thing's a hopeless disaster. So guess what, Shayne? You're hired!

Contains mature themes.

It was a good book, i enjoyed the humour however I did find the narrator to be automated/robotic. The previous series I read by this author had a fantastic narrator and I expected this one to be as good.

Good story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The author usually has an interesting street-wise feel to her work with crisp humour in the dialogue, but this book was sporatic and choppy, and the character development was often disjointed and illogical. At times it was even a little difficult to follow the basic plot thread. It was not assisted in any way by the narrator's voice, which was practically robotic most of the time. She also has a habit of mumbling the pronunciation of words with the letter "d" or "t" in the middle. I had to force myself to finish the entire book.
I will absolutely be avoiding this narrator in the future completely.

Nope
