Sexy psychic Simon Kincaide and skeptical homicide detective Vic D’Amato are getting married--if the ghost of a murderous magician doesn’t get them first!
Simon and Vic’s wedding is just a few weeks away, and they’re hoping for a little peace and quiet to wrap up work before their honeymoon, but nothing ever goes that smoothly.
Strange circumstances around the death of a retired stage magician suggest supernatural involvement, bringing Simon in on the case. The dark secrets of a long-ago resort hotel lead to a trail of unsolved cold cases that have a chilling similarity. Old scandals, malicious magic, and vengeful spirits expose a web of lies, deceit, and death that is headed for a reckoning.
Can Simon and Vic solve the murders, stop the ghosts, keep Simon’s mother from crashing the party, dodge last-minute wedding disasters, and still make it to the altar on time? Or will the shadows of Myrtle Beach’s haunted past ruin everything?
Point Blank is a fast-paced thrill ride MM paranormal romance packed with supernatural suspense, sinister sleight-of-hand, mysterious monsters, psychic visions, hot men, hurt/comfort, loyal friends, wedding planning, found family, ghosts galore, dark magic, and an evolving, established romantic relationship with all the feels.
Okay, here is the thing. I absolutely love the Badlands series. There is a little bit of everything for everyone. Magic, mayhem, suspense, murder, mystery, action...and of course, romance. So when I saw that a new audiobook had been added, I jumped at the chance. Here are my thoughts.
STORY: 4 Stars
I really liked this story. Vic and Simon can't have an easy time when they are planning their wedding or trying to find a venue. That would be too picturebook perfect, and they are not that couple. LOL. Ghosts are causing mayhem, and together, they have to wrap up their case before they can say I Do and fly off on their honeymoon. But as always, there is danger lurking. The characters are great, the side characters are amazing and memorable, and the story pulls you in. That said, this one seemed a little like something was missing that the other stories possessed. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's still a great story that I loved, and I still recommend listening to or reading it, though.
NARRATION: 4.5 Stars
Kale did an excellent job of bringing these characters to life as always. Each has their own voice, their own mannerisms, and quirks that jump through the speakers and help to distinguish each one.
OVERALL: 4 Stars
I loved the book and have both read and listened to it. But there is something missing. It still comes alive in your head and heart, still has amazing characters, and you still want to cheer for Vic and Simon as they take you on their adventures. I will admit there was a time or two I wanted to yell look behind you. Ghosts can be anywhere. LOL. 4 stars and I suggest you one-click this one today!
