John Doe has been a part of this series from the beginning. He also had a large part in the previous book with Griffin, as he was an oath brother to Griffin. But we still didn’t know much about this shifter. He goes by the name John Doe, because you can’t say his name in human form. Sea dragons are an elusive group of shifters. They don’t come out on land often. They are big on honor, or at least that is what they say.
Neridia Small just wants to be like every other woman. But at six foot and six inches tall, she stands taller than most men and that has made dating difficult for her. This story starts out with her going on date with someone from one of those matching sites. She fudges just the one number on her profile (people do that all the time, right?). She also arrived early, so that she could be sitting down when the man arrives. Things start off pretty well, until she stands up and that’s where things go all wrong for her.
This was another great addition to the series. I really enjoyed learning more about John Doe and his species. I really liked his sister. Neridia was a great addition to this group as well. She is a strong woman, who has had it hard with the loss of both of her parents recently. There are quite a few things that happen to her in this book too.
I continue to enjoy this series and look forward to more books that follow these firefighters of Essex County.
Narration
I continue to enjoy Lucy River’s narration of this series. I love all the different accents that she is forced to do for this series. In this book, she had all the different sea creatures that must be voiced, many of which are speaking mind to mind. It was very clear when they were talking mind to mind versus speaking out loud (which can sometime be hard on audio, since in print they usually italicize those parts, but if the narrator doesn’t change something, it can be hard for the listener, but that isn’t the case here).
**I like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
