Raven9308's Reviews > Killer Heart

Book 3 was not what I was expecting....at all. We finally get to see Des meet her family after not knowing they existing for most of her life. We think its going to be awkward but good for her...little do we know everyone has secrets, including her family. I won't say more because what I thought was way off and I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone! Just be prepared for the shock of some enlightening moments. OH and loved the cameo from another awesome series ❤️

Now in terms of the story, this part of the series was more slow-paced for me. Like I knew it was needed to help set up the final book (seriously, this series needs like 5 not 4 books in total haha) but it just didn't hit the same way the others did for me for some reason. It might have been some of the things the crew missed they wouldn't have if they were so good at their jobs and Des wasn't this amazing ghost and killer. Like it's fiction, I get that, but some of the development wasn't true to the characters and what was presented in previous books so I think that is what threw me off.

In terms of the relationships, I was happy to see some growth in that. Getting to learn some of their backgrounds was heart wrenching and made me like them even more. Talon for me is such a conundrum with his gruff exterior and his knitting hobby hahaha. I love Blaze's nerdiness and Garrison's openness he finally has at the end. I like Julius, just haven't connected with him as much as the others. I am interested to see what happens after that cliffhanger/revelation at the end of this book and how that will impact our crew. I was also trying to remember/figure out who exactly survived the even towards the end of the book (again no spoilers) but it wasn't 100% clear so I think they might come back to bite them in the rear. 4/5 stars for the story because of some of the issues I mentioned earlier.

Narration was good, I think my biggest complaint is that the narrators speak at very different speeds so depending not the chapter I had to switch from 1.3X to 1.5X speed and it was getting annoying. I definitely like both narrators, but their big difference in cadence in this book in particular threw me off. There were a lot more side characters in this book and I thought the portrayals of them was done well. 4/5 stars for the narration for this audiobook 😊
