Fast paced Action all the way...

I am really enjoying the Nathan Stone series by J B Turner. This is the third book in the series, I would suggest listening to these in the order they were written. They can be listened to as stand alone books but I think the listener would benefit more from a continuous story.
Once again the Commission (Black Ops Unit) is targeting Stone who had fallen out of grace with the higher ups. And once again he has the Commission in his sights. They have planned out an intricate take down that almost works but Stone sees through it at the last minute. Stone goes on the run taking with him a woman who resembles his sister. She had been hired to seduce him, now a hostage who doesn't realize that Nathan is trying to save her life and so she fights him every step of the way. The ending was quite a surprise as Nathan does something unexpected and kind.
Jeffrey Kafer does an outstanding job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This book disappointing in both story and the characters.

There was no depth to the this story. The female character whined through the entire book. It felt like I kept hearing the same chapters over and over because the author just kept repeating the same phrases.

Disappointing

You can basically take chapters 12-45 and repeat: "Are you going to kill me?" "Didn't you listen to what I said?" "Please let me go." "I'm trying to save you." This was a real disappointment after the first two books. There was zero story line.

story felt like a range of chapters from the...

the middle of a book. It started from a mediocre place and stayed there the whole way with a finish that wasn't an end. I guess this is a product of authors on Amazon selling a series not a complete book. k I'll nda like a season of a television show.

Explicit Content!

I didn't enjoy it there was entirely too much profanity! There needs to be a language content rating.

Horrible..

😞 One of the worst books I've ever read. Beatrice said Please, don't kill me, or something similar to it, 22 times, no matter how many times Nathan told her he wasn't going to hurt her. And 21 times he told her to "focus" every time she became hysterical. And they used the word "f**k" 182 times. AND the words they used were incredibly stupid and repetitive. No idea how this book ever got published.

At least he didn't laugh when he killed an innocent man, like he did in the first book. That should have told me something about his writing, or lack thereof, in the Nathan Stone stories.

As for the narrator: No way I would ever want to listen to Jeffrey Kafer again. Everyone sounds exactly alike, men and women, and he has no emotions at all. I don't know how he could ever get more than 1 star.

Enjoyed But......

I just discovered JB Turner loved the books but good Lord the cursing in this book through me off. It wss crazy, the female character has to be up there as one of the annoying ones, ever. She cursed in almost every other sentence. Be prepared.

Unbelievably boring and repetitious!

I have enjoyed other books by J.B. Turner, so when I saw 3 new books by him I immediately purchased all three in the series. Somehow, I listened to this one (the third book) first. I will not be listening to the other two books in the series. This book was so unbelievably boring and repetitious that I honestly fell asleep listening to it. When I woke up, I was two hours further into the book and the dialogue was the same idiotic dialogue! That is, it was “Don’t kill me. Are you going to kill me? I want to die! You’re killing again!” from the female. The main character’s dialogue was “I’m not going to kill you. If you don’t...I’m going to kill you.” Then he goes around killing people willy nilly and not in a particularly interesting or skillful way or for any real reason. Good grief!

Honestly, I couldn’t have cared less about either character and feel it would have been a better book if they had both been killed off in the first chapter! Okay, then there wouldn’t have been a book, but then I wouldn’t have had so much time sucked away on what was a truly unpleasant experience.

Spoiler Alert: To say there was no logical plot to this story is putting it mildly. The main character apparently had his face cosmetically changed, something that is only touched on in passing, so I have no idea why or if this was his idea or not. Then he is in a bar, apparently after checking up on his sister who is in a mental institution. We don’t get any rhyme or reason why this is even brought up, except to explain why he is in that bar. Then someone sends this ditzy broad to lure him into a trap, which he magically figures out because she looks like his sister. (Um, I’m not a man, but I hardly think if I were a man that I would turned on by someone who looks like my sister! And that was apparently the point of this woman being sent there.) Lots of running ensues, they somehow end up in the Florida everglades, which the main character for some inexplicable reason knows well. A gazillion mosquitoes bite her, but not him.. More running. Then after saying they can’t go back to Miami because they will be found and killed (and that’s why they are in the everglades), they go back to Miami! He kills the ones chasing him back at the same bar this all started. The end.

Not good

"Sense of forboding". "Trust me". This is used so mamy times! Lots of repetition. Book 1 and 2 werent good either...

Tripleheader

Began the series by purchasing books 1-3 and was excited to start a new series. I was NOT impressed with book 1 and the robotic lead character, Nathan Stone, but by the time I finished Requiem I was really impressed with transition to "Jimmy" and the positive direction the story has taken. I found it hard to believe how much patience he'd show with the manic actress and complete control in dealing with Commission's goons. Nice ending and looking forward to the next hit.
