Hi Cara,
As I was looking for a new audiobook I found an audible only story by Jennifer Estep. A Sense of Danger may be a stand-alone or the beginning of a new series. It all depends on how popular A Sense of Danger is. (Fingers crossed it become popular.)
A SPY…
My name is Charlotte Locke, and I’m an analyst for Section 47, a secret government agency that tracks terrorists, criminals, and other paramortal bad guys who want to unleash their abilities on an unsuspecting mortal world. I have a magical form of synesthesia that senses danger and uncovers lies—making me a stealthy operative.
I’m trudging through another day when one of Section’s cleaners—assassins—takes an interest in me. I don’t need my synesthesia to realize that he is extremely dangerous and that he will do anything to achieve his goals—even if it means putting me in the line of fire.
…AND AN ASSASSIN
I’m Desmond Percy, one of Section 47’s most lethal cleaners. I’m also a man on a mission, and I need Charlotte Locke’s skills to help me keep a promise, settle a score, and kill some extremely bad people.
Charlotte might not like me, but we’re stuck together until my mission is over. Still, the more time we spend together, the more I’m drawn to her. But at Section 47, you never know who you can trust—or who might want you dead.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
A Sense of Danger is a paranormal spy-thriller that follows on analyst and Assassin aka cleaner.
There are two main characters in A Sense of Danger, Charlotte and Desmond. The books give us chapters in their points of view. In the Audio performance, they have separate narrators for Charlotte and Desmond. The narrators are Helen Laser and Grant Cartwright. I liked both voice performances. Especially the Aussie accent of Desmond, as normally I am not a fan of the Aussie accent. But Desmond voice is hubba hubba.
One of my favourite aspects of A Sense of Danger is the magic ability. The way in which Charlotte synesthesia, I’ve never read anything like that before and I thought it is a great power for a spy.
Regarding Charlotte smarts and her ability to track the money. I love how smart she is and the way in which she pieces everything together. Also how cool she is under pressure even tormenting the people trying to kill her.
I found the plot interesting and how it builds and everything slots into place in the end. I liked the action and that is a mix of action with magic and just normal action. There is also romance, humour and a little bit of smut.
Overall I enjoyed the book and hope that this isn’t the last time we hear about Section 47, Charlotte and Desmond.
My rating for A Sense of Danger is 4.5 out of 5.
