The Liberator #3
Set Me Free
Kayla Stone wants answers. This time, she knows exactly who to ask.
Kayla Stone and Father O’Shea have a turbulent, violent history. Yet she needs to confront him a final time. For once, Kayla knows exactly where he is. There’s only problem; he’s locked up in a maximum-security prison.
O’Shea’s past is as gloomy as San Francisco’s infamous fog. But in a city rife with gangsters, Kayla isn’t the only person with justice on her mind and revenge in her sights.
So, when O’Shea’s prisoner transport is ambushed by the local mafia, Kayla has another life-threatening decision to make...
Should she chase the answers she needs into a world of crime, corruption and lies? Or should she escape with her life?
On a twisting trail around Golden Gate City, and with the truth closer than she’d ever expected, Kayla learns that sometimes, revenge is a dish best served hot.
Set Me Free is book #3 in the highly-rated Kayla Stone vigilante thriller series. If you like Clive Cussler, Nick Thacker, Ernest Dempsey, and Russell Blake, then you’ll love this explosive new series.

Kayla is back and on the hunt for Father O’Shea in this ( I think ) the last in the series, tbh it’s a must to read the rest in the series, including Book O that set’s it all up, without the prior books being read it would be difficult to know what is happening and who is who and why they are as they are
This time the story moves through different timelines and includes a world event that starts the book very well, we find ourselves in Dubai, Brighton and San Fransisco and ultimately with Kayla back in Australia
Kayla gets to find her roots in this book and tie together all the loose ends she has been fighting for and to do from the start, of course this isen’tban easy task and much adventure precedes the revelations of the book
I’ve liked Kayla from the start and continued to do so throughout although we saw less of her in this book than previous it still was enough for her character and personality to shine through
Another good story although I did struggle with the tying up of the world event to the conclusion and felt maybe this book felt a bit rushed in comparison to the others
It’s been a great series though and collaboration of the 2 authors
8/10

This is the third outing for the Vigilante series with Kayla still trying to sort out Father O'Shea once and for all. In the best book of the series so far we visit San Francisco and as usual the adventure speeds up rather quickly. Twist and turns abound and the action keeps on coming. Will Kayla be up to the task of will Father O'Shea win? Highly recommended

In this series, Kayla Stone is a heroine whose gritty character takes on evil, fighting for the oppressed across sites around the globe.
Set Me Free has Kayla in San Francisco pursuing her nemesis for answers to her own past. She becomes the pursued in turn, and there’s an added villain and his gang in the game.
Very well written mystery thriller in the tough and grimy backwater of the Bay Area.

In this, yet again, mindblowingly brilliant novel, Kayla is hunting for an old nemesis, Father O’Shea.
This brings her to San Fransisco and, for this is probably my favorite city in the whole of the USA, this was a joyful surprise.
As always Steve Moore and Luke Richardson have written an exciting story and I had great difficulty closing the book when things needed to be done.
With every Kayla Stone-novel you read, you become more addicted.
Anxiously waiting for the next one!

Twisted my brain trying to keep up!
Kayla Stone is always a great read, but in Set Me Free, she resolved some live long questions. All while kicking butts of everyone that gets in her way.
That was one twisted web she untangled too!

Awesome final to this entertaining series. All remaining questions answered and all mysteries solved.

I really enjoyed this book. This is book three in the series and as all the unanswered questions from the previous books get explained I would recommend that you read or listen to the first two books before getting sucked into this one. This book jumps around in time explaining the cliff hanger from the previous book and focuses a lot on how O'shea became the man he became and a surprise connection or history between the human trafficker and Kayla. Don't worry Kayla is still very much in the mix, seeking justice like only she can. Even though things get explained the author doesn't skimp on the action and flying bullets. I just hope the author is right and this is not the last book we see featuring the vigilante Kayla. The world needs hero's and Kayla and this series is one of the better ones.
Father O'Shea will say anything to get himself out of trouble but the bombshell he dropped on Kayla while in Dubai, has her once again seeking him out. This time she doesn't want to stop him she wants answers. But Kayla isn't the only one with a reason to want O'Shea dead. When he is returned to San Francisco his past catches up with him and a prison break find s Kayla trying to keep the man she wants dead most in the world alive. Will she get the answers she needs?
The narrator does a good job of keeping the listener hooked until the very end.

Kayla Stone knows How To Get Her Man
This tense, high tale of chasing the bad guys, saving the good ones and stopping the endless violence is a fast read. Not because it's short but rather that the writing style used kept me so engrossed I couldn't stop. I wanted, needed, to see what thrilling acts Kayla would perform. She isn't your typical shoot-em-up character, in fact she prefers there be none of that. But if you screw with her or someone she values then you can expect to come up on the short end of the stick. I have enjoyed all of the books in this series and this one is no exception. There were some unexpected character twists I didn't expect that just blew my mind! But rest assured that you can expect much more from this story than I have hinted at here. You'll not be sorry.

A brilliant conclusion!
This book neatly intertwines two plots. The first involves Father O'Shea with his full back story and his child smuggling today. Then secondly we have Kayla and her search for the truth about her parents and having to save the children.
It all comes together with a few surprises along the way. Great writing puts you in the thick of the action. Just a brilliant series!

Set Me Free - a review by Rosemary Kenny.
San Francisco is the setting, for Steven Moore and Luke Richardson's dramatic conclusion to Kayla Stone's story, Set Me Free.
This international-thriller trilogy sees danger from the past brought forward, as Kayla arrives in San Francisco...where she buys a gun!
But who else is on O'Shea's trail looking for vengeance and what is their relationship to Kayla?
Many twists and turns take place, before Kayla and O'Shea have their showdown, then a grande dénouement takes place, that you definitely won't have seen coming, that keeps the tension fully ramped up right to the unexpected ending.
Best read in sequence, beginning with prequel, Set Him Free, for a full Kyla Stone reading experience.
Don't wait to get your hands on all four, for an epic, 5-star, thrilling adventure you're guaranteed to be shaken, stirred and fully satisfied by!
