In this third book in Melissa F. Olson’s Nightshades series, we finally wrap up the story arc. I don’t know if there will be more books set in this world, but this book does wrap up the story arc of the first three books. I really enjoyed this series. It takes everything I love about cop shows and combines them with vampires. What’s not to love.
If I had to complain about this series, the stories are short. I don’t feel like the author left anything out of the stories. The characters are well developed, as is the world that these characters they live in. But each book is around 4 hours long, which is really short. I am glad that she didn’t just fill the story up with filler, though. I would just like more time with these characters.
Alex and Lindy have made their relationship more than a working one. But that doesn’t mean they don’t still have a lot of work to do. Lindy’s brother, Hector, is still on a rampage. The FBI still need to catch him. Chase, Alex’s best friend and second in command of the Chicago BPI team, passes along some news that is a big hit to the team.
I would highly recommend reading this series in order. Each book builds on the previous story. I think if you started here, you would be completely lost to what is going on with the vampires. I hope to see more books set in this world.
Narration
Luke Daniels continues to narrate this series and does a fantastic job. There’s a reason he is at the top of many people’s favorite narrator list. He’s great with a large selection of voices that are always attuned to the character’s personality. He’s great with both male and female voices. Pace and tone are always right where it’s needed for the current scene. If you’ve never listened to Luke Daniels, you’re really missing out.
**I like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
