Drunk Monkeys #3
Monkey Wrench
[mfm, post-apocalyptic, military/spec ops]
When you have evil to overthrow, you need to call in…the Drunk Monkeys.
Stacia Rooney is worried her older brother is being brainwashed for a suicide mission by the Church of the Rising Sunset. When she has a run-in with the Drunk Monkeys, they unfortunately agree with her assessment.
Quack and Lima think it might already be too late to help Stacia’s brother escape whatever evil project Reverend Silo has cooked up, but they need her help to get more information. They suspect it’s part of a larger plan to spread the deadly Kite virus across the United States and speed up the apocalypse.
Whatever’s going on, Quack and Lima know two things for certain. One, Stacia belongs with them. And two, they are going to throw an explosive monkey wrench into Reverend Silo’s plans. The question is, will the world come crumbling down around them when two of them are exposed to Kite?

Although they are always welcome, I am thinking this series does not really need romance or sex added to the mix. That’s because it is such a strong story, that having sex in all this mess does not add anything.
The villain for example is excellent. One of the best I have come across.
A spiritual leader who basically
-brainwashes poor, innocent, ignorant, young people to do his errands
-blackmails important politicians, military, any person who specifically can be used
-tortures his wife since before they were married (for about 40 years) and keeps her as a prisoner
-and wants to take over the world using the virus Kite and its vaccine.
A totally psychotic, batshit crazy, dangerous man.
This book is the most emotional and heartbreaking so far. Stacia is an uneducated worker who is trying to look after and protect her older brother who is being brainwashed by the Church of the Rising Sunset.
Quack and Lima, another two from the Monkey team, will try to protect her and to reveal Reverent Silo’s ruthless plans.
It is the first book actually that Drunk Monkeys realize who the real enemy is and they have their first big hit against him.

Never mess with a woman who is used to being the caretaker of the family.
Stacia is burned with supporting both her older brother and her aunt. Her aunt is physically ill and her older brother just seems to never be fully there. In this pandemic stricken world, Stacia does the best she can as a mechanic in a factory. This job comes with its own issues. In a male-dominated union environment, sexual harassment is prevalent. Stacia only takes so much before she blows. When she does, it's notable.
"You're done, asshole," she [Stacia] shouted. "Hear me? Next time, I'll catch you alone and cut 'em off. You fuck with me, you are fucking with a special kind of crazy that they don't even write about in textbooks." (pg. 12)
Ms. Dalton sets the tone of this book immediately with a strong female who will not take shit from anyone. The story's plot moves along further as Reverend Silo's plans are exposed. This is why I like this series. It's not the ménage, even if it is appetizing. It's not the strong female leads, which make me want to read the book. It's the villain who is a worthy adversary. He's a megalomaniac with insidiously devious plans to undermine the government. His control of his wife is an example of just how he would dominate the country given a chance. His unapologetic selfishness and rationalizations are unbelievable yet still plausible given today's society. I must confess, when he beats his wife and sexually violates her, it's more interesting than when Quack, Lima and Stacia get it on.
The way the characters are developed in this story catches a reader's attention. Stacia's frustration with her brother and her futile attempts to save him are easy for a reader to understand. The slight twist at the end is not a path expected yet still ends in the same destination. Except this final destination is a bit more melancholy, which perfectly sets up Stacia's decision to pair up with Quack and Lima.
What I admire most about Ms. Dalton's plot device is the simplicity and effectiveness of it. This "mission" which Stacia's brother falls for is something that can easily translate into reality. It does remind me a bit of the DC Comic's League of Assassin's directive. In order to bring a better world, take out the trash by wiping out the derelict. It is something powerful corrupted men seem to have in common across countries and time.
This latest book in the Drunk Monkey series is recommended to ménage lovers who enjoy conspiracy theories.

You go girl. AK is one person I would not want to get on the bad side of. Mess with her family and watch out. AK lost one family but found another. I can't wait to see how she blossoms in books to come.

This was enjoyable.
I liked everyone involved.
I felt the Silo sections of the story were just so repetitive and dull. Seriously, I almost feel like she just copy and pasted from the previous books... at least the scenes with his wife (until the end that is).

This one didn't seem to further the getting a Kite vaccine part of the storyline, but we did get lots of Preacher Silo, who I really hope die in a horrible, horrible way and soon!
I found Stacia to be a fun character, especially the way that we met her. I have worked with guys like that and only wish that I could do something like she did to make it stop!
Stacia's family was interesting. I thought Marvin was a waste of space, but his role was important to what was going on in the story and I hated to see how things went with him. Aunt Darla was often mentioned, but we never met her until the end and in a way that I don't ever want to meet anyone. I was glad at that point that the Drunk Monkeys had made Stacia one of their own, she needed the support.
Stacia and the guys were cute together. I liked that the guys didn't want a "princess" but a down to earth girl, because that was Stacia to a T.

Another outstanding addition to the series. This one a bit more emotional. I am so caught in the story of am itching to know what's next. I shed a few tears and had a few laughs with this book.

Another great book by Tymber.
I really do hope that the reverand gets his come upings! And that is wife has something to do with it!
Castration by Ak would just be a fun starter!

The world-building is better than the "romance." The "kiters," the Reverend, the conspiracy, all of that was great, really well-constructed. The romance...never really made much sense to me.
