Jim must use all of his strength to keep his family safe while convincing his wife he's still the same man she once loved.

Doesn't pull punches

Any additional comments?

Admittedly, I am annoyed with myself. Over the last couple years I basically took a hiatus from fantasy because I felt like I was getting nitpicky and bored. Maybe it was accidental echo chambers online, or because I moved to a rural town where I didnt have friends to talk books with, or that Id never managed to get to a con so I was missing out on everything that was really out there. The truth is I should have been looking harder to find what I really wanted, now I have, and Im playing catch-up with this series.

Coles books are just about everything that I actually wanted from urban fantasy. Theyre actualized, they dont pull punches, theyre gritty and harsh. I spent a fair amount of time cursing him for what he was doing to the characters as I listened to the audiobook. When I say cursing, I mean out loud, actual curse words because Ive been pampered by authors going out of their way to mitigate the consequences of their characters actions and saving the ones that are my darlings and Cole doesnt bother. *Precisely* why his books are so damn good.

Cole also does the military right (he has served) but one of the real highlights to me is that his female characters are sooooo good. They exhibit different kinds of strength, they arent reflections of each other, they are individual characters with their own motivations. I love Sarah. I love how Jim loves Sarah. There is a very real, beautiful romance in this story that drives the action. There were times my heart pounded for the both of them. It was delicious and heady.

To sum it up- this series is smart, action-packed, multi-faceted, and exactly what I was looking for, I hope you check them out. I've already got Siege Line downloaded and ready to go.

Okay at best

I enjoyed Gemini Cell, but it got a little silly at the end. This book quickly descends into Jason and the Argonauts with guns.

I stopped half way through.
