Bad Ops (Agent Juliet Box Set) By E. M. Smith

I really enjoyed this, it was fast paced, action packed, adrenaline filled, gritty, full of bravado, wise cracks and guns!  I loved every damn second of it and couldn't stop turning the pages.

The story was awesome and well planned out, the characters were great, you got to know them quickly and I was quickly swept up in the book.

I am moving on to the Bone Squad book which ties up with the Agent Juliet books and I will certainly be looking out for more books by E M Smith cos I like this asshat's style, A'ight!



Description:


BAD OPS is a specially priced box set of all 5 Agent Juliet stories.

Follow self-destructive screw-up and beginner black ops agent Jamie Kendrick from his disastrous first op to his grisly showdown with death.


BAD DECISIONS

Jamie Kendrick is known for his colossally bad decisions--jacking a squad car and turning it over in a ditch, for example. But he's going to show everyone. With some help from his brother--and a court-ordered ankle monitor--Jamie is going to get sober, join the army, and shake his white trash reputation. He's actually doing a decent job until someone frames him for the gruesome murders of his brother's family.

No one believes that Jamie is innocent. No one but a mysterious blonde with a gun. She gives Jamie a choice: spend the rest of his life in prison or help her take down the man who killed his brother and set him up.


BAD INFLUENCES

Juliet's back and the pressure's on.

Five months after almost dying on his first mission with NOC-Unit, Jamie Kendrick is trying to adapt to the high-stress world of black ops, navigate the politics of workplace relationships, and watch out for his nieces.


BAD ENVIRONMENT

A deep black op in the heart of Afghanistan brings Bravo face-to-face with his past...

A strange phone call from one of his nieces sends Jamie off the rails...

And someone at NOC-Unit sends Jamie and Bravo on a mission they aren't meant to come back from.


BAD REPUTATION

Someone in NOC-Unit betrayed Jamie and Bravo. Now they're trapped in a sweatbox in the South American jungle.

While Jamie and Bravo fight to survive, the past unfolds through the eyes of the mysterious Mina. Who is she and how does she factor into the NOC-Unit boys' fate?


BAD ENDING

People always said if he didn't straighten up, he would come to a bad end...

Jamie doesn't know how he's going to rescue his nieces from NOC-Unit without getting killed. He doesn't know where he'll hide the girls if, by some miracle, he does rescue them. All he knows is that things are fixing to get bad.

A roller coaster ride of gunfights, kidnapping, grand theft auto, torture, and death--the final Agent Juliet story pushes Jamie to an edge he can never come back from.

The Scarlet Deep (Elemental World, Book 3) by Elizabeth Hunter

Patrick Murphy was a bare knuckle boxer from a traveller family in his mortal life, in his immortal life he's a smooth talking scoundrel, but has depth, kindness, morals and a soul searing passion for one female, Anne O'Dea.

I love Anne, but then I was bound too because she is one of the daughters of the elusive character Tywyll, and she is the perfect match for our playboy leader of Dublin, Murphy.

This book follows on from the other's in the Elemental World series tracking the Elixer storyline.  The world building is, as with the other books, immersive.  Elizabeth writes character's that you fall in love with or, in the case of the villains, grow to despise with a passion.  

Throughout the Elemental Mysteries Series and the Elemental World Series there has not been one book that has not blown my socks off (I have re-read the Elemental Mysteries 3 times) and Scarlet Deep has to be one of my faves.  If you have not yet treated yourself to a visit to any of Elizabeth Hunter's books, please do so - I love her worlds!

Loved seeing some of the old faces, and the way Elizabeth cleverly links the books through the entire story arc is amazing.

More please :-)


Book Description:

On the waves of the North Atlantic, a poison spreads, sapping the life from humans and striking madness into immortals.

Patrick Murphy, the immortal leader of Dublin, has been trying to stem the tide of Elixir washing into his territory, but nothing seems to stop the vampire drug. While others in the immortal world work to cure the creeping insanity that Elixir threatens, Murphy has been invited to London to join a summit of leaders hoping to discover who is shipping the drug. If Murphy and his allies can cut off the supply, they might be able to halt the spread long enough for a treatment to be found for the humans and vampires infected.

Anne O’Dea, Murphy’s former lover, retreated from public life over one hundred years ago to help immortals in need… and to heal her own broken heart. Though powerful connections keep her insulated from the violence of vampire politics, even Anne is starting to feel the effects of Elixir on her isolated world. The human blood supply has been tainted, and with Anne’s unique needs, even those closest to her might be in danger. Not just from infection, but Anne’s escalating bloodlust.

When Anne and Murphy are both called to London, they’re forced to confront a connection as immortal as they are. As they search for a traitor among allies, they must also come to terms with their past. Behind the safe facade of politics, old hungers still burn, even as an ancient power threatens the fate of the Elemental World.
