Rylee Adamson [Dramatized Adaptation] #3
Raising Innocence [Dramatized Adaptation]
When children go missing, and the Humans have no leads, I'm the one they call. I am their last hope in bringing home the lost ones. I salvage what they cannot.
The FBI wants me on their team. Bad enough that they are dangling bait they know I can't resist.
The catch? It’s on the other side of the ocean.
And if I want what they’re offering, I have to help them with a salvage gone terribly, terribly wrong.
But this time, I have no back up. I have no Plan B.
And I have no O’Shea.

About the author
Shannon Mayer
155 books7,279 followersA long time ago, in a galaxy far away, I was born into a family of Star Wars nuts. I have a lot of siblings (somewhere I lost count but I think there was more than could be numbered on one hand) and being one of the young padawans I was subjected to Star Wars marathons, on a regular basis. If you've read any of my books you'll see there is often a reference to said movies as a small homage to my upbringing. May the force be with you and all that jazz.
I started writing when I realized I didn't want to grow up not believing in magic, or not believing in creatures everyone else said didn't exist. That being said, I have never seen a fairy, unicorn or dragon. I had a neighbour who swore they fed the leprechauns in their garden, but I never caught the little buggers no matter how long I lay in wait. (And consequently had to help the neighbours plant new flowers to replace those I killed waiting for the leprechauns to show their faces.)
Along the way, I found my husband who is the rock that keeps me from floating away into my dreams, and we have a little boy who is the centre of our world. Living on a farm keeps us busy (as if the writing wasn't enough) and I have more than my share of stories about wrestling with cows, helping birth calves and ending up in the creek during the process, falling in the mud (we'll call it mud but we all know that on a farm, mud is rarely mud) and chasing escaped livestock in the hopes the four legged convicts don't make it to the highway.
I've taken up archery, and the goal is to move into horseback archery in time (you know, when I can hit the target on a consistent basis) and when no one is looking, I love to bake (this doesn't happen often as it's hard to keep the sweet treats in stock with two boys in the house.)
As to what's coming next for me? More stories (since those never stop inside my head, I might as well share them with all of you!) and more adventures. Pretty much, when the fancy strikes, I'll jump on it. Leap before you look I'm sure that motto was created for me.
Or was that . . . think big and dream bigger, ready, set, pull the trigger . . . yeah. That one is a good one too. But only if you have a gun. And are hunting elephants. Which is not cool because of so many reasons. Let's stick with the first one with an addendum.
Leap before you look and let your dreams carry you on their wings. And that, my friends, is me in a nutshell.

The best part of this series by far is the narration.
I am really starting to enjoy the characters, Alex’s humour and innocents is endearing.
This book had a lot to deal with: Cat shifter Will, Pamela, Eve, and Jack.
I need to know more about Ferris and how he connects to all this.
On to the next.

A good continuation of the series but as with the other novels although the primary mystery is solved the book ends on a cliffhanger. The book is well written and the story builds on events that have occurred in other novels. This development of characters and building on what happened in previous books has grabbed me and I want to see what happens next. The author has a long term game plan and she is putting the pieces and characters in place as the books progress. I am a little frustrated with the cliffhanger endings but am more curious about what is going to happen next to give up. On to finding the next book. The graphic audio approach with multiple voices, music and sound effects is great and really added to my enjoyment of the audiobook.

Not my favorite that Rylee's only friend turns out to be Super Evil. It's sort of a mainstay of older urban fantasy books, though--lots of guy characters, very few trustworthy female characters that are equal to the MC.

These are quick ones to listen to. Right now I need book 4 but I am out of hoopla borrows. I wish I knew how much I enjoyed them so I could plan my borrows better.
