In my opinion Dan Padavona did a great job of concluding the storyline of Jillian and God's Hand. There is lots of suspense, action and closure for Scarlett Bell. Yet Dan Padavona opened up another storyline for Scarlett Bell. As long as Dan Padavona writes this series I will be reading it. If you like action, suspense and short fast reads I say take a look. I don't miss them being full size novels. I get everything I need from them. I read on Kindle Unlimited.

Another great and action-packed addition to the series. Scarlett Bell is facing trouble from a lot of different angles, and I don't see it getting any better for her after this. Going to jump into the next book very soon!

i have really enjoyed reading the scarlett bell series! they’re very short, easy reads. i like how the stories feel complete and leave me satisfied even though they’re all like 150 pages or less. it feels very unique to learn about the main characters, scarlett and gardy, over the course of the entire series. it’s interesting because they are developed well enough in the first book to b satisfying, but we learn so much more as the series progresses. the book/series layout reminds me of my favorite shows like bones, csi, and criminal minds. i’m excited to continue reading this series and dan padavona’s entire backlist!

A definite must read

This was an intense, suspenseful, and complex story that started when Agent Bell was a child. Bell and the serial killer known as God's Hand are now hunting each other, the only question is who will come out on top? It's certainly not a story that you'll want to miss. I would highly suggest reading this entire series, as there are things happening throughout the series that are important for future books.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

Discovered this series completely by accident over Easter while looking for some shorter length audio books to listen to while going about my day to day and was absolutely delighted with the find.

Each audiobook is roughly 3 hours in length and covers a new case each book while continuing the main story of the FMC Scarlett Bell.

I finished the first 3 books in one day because they were so good and I needed more.

If you are a fan of quick listen audiobooks, the mystery/thriller genre and enjoy shows like Criminal Minds then this is definitely series you should add to your TBR/TBL.

Excellent

These books may be short but they are packed with a punch!! Scarlett Bell is an amazing FBI profiler. I love her character. This series just continues to keep you on the edge and ranting more.

Lost and Found

One serial who has been after Scarlett for over 23 years is in hot pursuit. He seems to slip under the radar each time. It is up to Scarlett to finish this once and for all. Enjoyed the whole story, but there is still u finished business.

[Barbara Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nothing less than stellar

I completely agree with the author. Reading short episodes of a series is so much more interesting than a long drawn out tome of a book. Just enough to keep the reader interested but having an ending to each encounter. Great strategy.

Revenge at last

It's time for Scarlett to face her demons in this tense thriller. The suspense puts you on edge, then Wolf send you over. Great read in the Scarlett series that you will enjoy.

The end for this devil.

Another communicator. Suspenseful as. usual. This story was shorter so easier to put down and come back to later. Looking forward to his next story.
