OMG! I need the next one, amazing!

Hailey Turner's writing is so damn amazing! I don't know why I waited so long to read/listen to this series!! There is just so much action that's written with such careful and amazing detail, I feel like I am there witnessing everything go on. I feel like I'm there. This team is truly an alpha team so professional and poised and on it. I loved that this book focused on Alexei, I really wanted to hear his side of the story and his life, though I did miss Kyle and Jamie haha.
Sean and Alexei are super cute and Sean helps bring this story closer to the enemy. The action in this book had me on edge, the emotional side and action side were both amazing.

Greg Boudreaux does an amazing job changing his voice for the characters, I do have to say that his voice for Alexei is one of my favorites!

Change up Thats oh so satisfying

The scene change of this book from the last was refreshing and keeps the series from becoming dull. Discovering a whole new dynamic from a fresh perspective that will have you panting in your earbuds.

Techno-Thriller Romance with a Great Narration

In The Shadows is book 3 in the highly addictive and entertaining Metahumans Series by Hailey Turner.

This book is written from Sean and Alexei's POV , so their developing relationship takes the main stage. This subplot is interwoven with the other plots and advances the story main arc.

Greg Boudreaux voice is mesmerising . His pacing is great and the way he convey emotions and sexy times are rousing and hot AF. Perfect for this very steamy and romantic series.

At this point of my review , I don't need to say who is who and what is the plotline in The Metahumans Series as for you to get to this point , you must have listened to book 1 and 2 . These books aren't standalone ; need to read it in the chronological order they were published.

Shadows and Secrets

This is the third book in the Metahuman series and it definitely should NOT be read on its own. This series has an overarching plot line with a lot of character development that occurs in the previous two books. Reading this book on its own will not be as enjoyable as reading it after the first two books.

Alexi Dvorkin and Sean Delaney finally get their love story. I was so excited for their book since I’ve been in love with Alexi the first time I met him. He’s so gruff and unapologetic with an unwavering loyalty to his team and family. He deserves wonderful things in live and Sean is exactly what he needs. Sean—this poor man living his double life, I was so happy when the truth was finally revealed to his family. The plot for this book was exciting and had me on the edge of my seat. Hailey Turner does such a fantastic job with all her action scenes. There was not one part of this book that I did not love.

Greg Boudreaux narrated this audiobook, just like he did for the previous two books. He really does such a wonderful job with the character voices –especially those Russian accents. I really love his performance and thoroughly enjoyed myself as I listened to this book. I highly recommend it.

FABBY!!!!

I absolutely LOVE this series. What could be better than the military, suspense and romance. This is the second time I am listening to the books. All I can say is keep them coming!

Best story so far, least favorite romance

Probaby by favorite story but least favorite romance out of this series so far.

The story events were much more fun to read, lot of action packed sequences and all of the characters you have gotten to know by now are using their powers in full force. For the first time in the series i really felt like i can actually distinguish who's doing what and what their powers are.

Theres a lot of cooperation this time around with all the members and combining their powers for the story events.

I do like the pair up between the 2 MCs and how they work together. Its neat to see them do some under cover stuff and how they navigate their mission that way.
I do like more when the pairing is split and all the members get together because it creates a chaotic, but easy to read, mess of powers being used.

The romance is cute, by now though it felt kinda unnatural, didn't really feel as seamless as the last few books. Its sometime forgettable too other then a few fun lust filled moments between them.

I think the romance really took a backseat mostly because main over arcing story line became more of the focus instead of building the relationship between the romantic characters. The relationship building occured more for the entire team as a whole as i finally can really get to know all of them and their quirks better.

Still recommend it highly if you're liking this series =) the m/m romance subplot is a good bonus to a fun action flick type story this series is evolving into.

I just love this series...

Hailey, I'm enjoying these. Even though they are not really stand alones, I look forward to the next one, which I have purchased and am starting this weekend.

Greg, Bravo..you are these characters, and I appreciate you.

Listener, start from the first one, don't worry about the little short stories in between that you have to buy for too much for too short a story, but get into the full novels and I think you'll find the development and story line quite intriguing.

Wow!! Just love Alexei and Sean together!

Wow!! Just love Alexei and Sean together! Loved the narration!! I listened all day... totally caught up in the story!!

Action, romance, high stakes card games, suspense, fighting incredible odds and finding a way to survive and win some. Both of the MC's are just incredible together whether they are working or loving. You can feel their connection as they find their way through all the barriers that are thrown their way. I love these guys and the team together totally rocks!

The story-line was compelling and the writing flowed really well!!

Loves these characters

This is another great book in the series. The characters are complex and they all work together to create a great team. Their missions are exciting and full of action!! Can’t wait to listen to the next one!!

WOW!!!

Alexei and Sean do not have a cute meet or even cutsy moments in the beginning of their relationship but it is more impact with how they interact with each other and develop their own relationship amid the chaos and betrayals. This is action packed and will leave you wondering what happened as they forge their own way through everything standing in their way.

Make a note: you really should read the first two books to get all the details of Alexei and Sean as well as a true understanding of the world that is build here.
