About this listen
When it comes to talented new recruits at the Federal Underworld Agency, Nora Jacobs is only half the story....
As a fox-shifter, Shayne Davies gets no respect in an underworld run by the fearsome and powerful - werewolves and vampires, sorcerers, demons, and mythical faerie creatures. Even at home, Shayne is still treated like the brat of the pack. Her mom constantly nags, her intended (but unwanted) mate ensures plenty of awkward silences, and Shayne is even expected to act submissive to the pack's future alpha...a six-year-old.
Yeah. Time for Plan B.
All Shayne wants is to prove that she's got what it takes to run with the big dogs, which is why she is constantly hounding Nick Gorgeous to make her an agent at the "Double D", the Detroit Division of the FUA. That's an easy "No" for Gorgeous, who keeps a strict "No Shayne Davies" policy. Well, never say never.
When mysterious underworld criminals steal a load of bomb materials, the FUA picks up a messy case nobody wants to touch. It's bad enough that a demon horde is involved, but now the annoying FBI has sent out an agent to babysit the investigation. To make matters worse, the notoriously uncooperative master vampire Henry Stadther has control over what may be the only key to breaking the case: a handsome human detective. The whole thing's a hopeless disaster. So guess what, Shayne? You're hired!
Contains mature themes.

Fast moving plot
Lots to keep the interest going. Fun characters, great dialogue, plenty of action. Internal thoughts kept in balance, magic everywhere.

The way the narrator talk to the reader is very fun
It is a nice paranormal fantasy book with all the classic trops and not so much spice. I have read the other series in the samme univers, about Jacobs, and it is fun to follow the underdog who fights through her problems with hard work, humor and sarcasm

Frustratingly disappointing
I really love the Nora Jacobs series. Having read the first 3 and impatiently waiting for the next one to appear on audible, I looked up the author to see what else there is. When I saw a spin of series in the world of Nora J I was so excited, which is why Jackie May’s change of style with this book is so annoyingly frustrating and disappointing.
For some unknown reason she has decide in this series the author /narrator is going to talk to the reader/listener!?!? What?! WHY?! That was not her style in the Nora J series so why would anyone who enjoyed that expect or enjoy this change in a spin off series in the same bloody world?!
I’m soo peed off with this. You may like being talked to while your reading a book, but it’s not for me. I read, and read the urban fantasy genre specifically, for escapism. I want to get drawn into that world, not have the spell broken every 5 minutes by the narrator talking to, me drawing me back to reality and saying stupid crap at that!
For me a good urban fantasy series is like watching the best scfi series ever, you’re totally immersed in that world, forming attachments to characters etc. How can you do that when some idiot keeps talking to you?! It’s like watching Stranger things and mid scene Eleven turns to the screen and says ‘so watchers now it’s gonna get real scary ok?’.. would that work for you?! NO OF COURSE NOT! It totally ruins the story! Grrrr!
I’m so cross. I really want to stick with the Nora J world but this has put me right off. The saddest part is i think I’d have enjoyed the story if it hadn’t been ruined by this ridiculous choice, but I was so distracted and annoyed by it, it just ruined the book for me.

She’s spicy
Plenty of drama & action leading to conflict and exposure. Look like the war is coming.
