Sophie's mother Pim Wat has assumed a new identity, but still wants revenge - on her daughter, her previous assistant and the man who killed her lover. But they all know she is after them - so are actively searching for her. A taut thriller which kept me reading all night! Hoping that Pim Wat would be caught, but not prepared for all the action along the way.
This author has me glued to the series - I just wish she could write faster!! (I was given an ARC of this book)

Another action-packed story as part of the Vigilante Justice Thriller Series (Paradise Crime Thrillers). Do not miss Book 13 as the series continues with some of our favorite characters! The story begins with a “where are they now” for some of the key characters including Pim Wat, mother of Sophie, who has been trying to kill her daughter, now in France under a new name, Vivian Moran; Connor, otherwise known as The Ghost or Master who is busy surfing through data as he tries to locate Pim Wat; and Sophie, daughter of Pim Wat, who is preparing her team at Security Solutions for her maternity leave. While meeting with her team one last time before her leave, Sophie suddenly goes into labor and the story is off to the races.
Three months later, Connor gets an alert on his computer with a possible citing of the “new” Pim Wat. There is finally hope that he can complete the deal with the multiagency task force and return to the US to be with his love, Sophie. In the previous book, Connor met the first part of the deal, but he still needs to capture or kill Pim Wat. With her capture, Connor would meet his deal and Sophie and her children would finally be safe from her vigilante mother!
In this book, besides the exciting story related to finding and trying to catch Pim Wat, Toby Neal allows us to get to know more about Sophie’s family including Momi, her daughter and Sean, the new baby. Living in Hawaii with their faithful nanny, Armita, Sophie tries to build a life as a single mom and executive while keeping her children safe from their grandmother, Pim Wat.
Will Pim Wat be caught? Will Connor and Sophie become a couple again? Answering these questions or saying any more would spoil the story for you, the readers! Thankfully, I read an ARC version but be ready to order the book on launch day and put time aside to read. Once you start Wired Revenge, trust me, you will not want to put the book down!

I am an ARC reader for this Toby Neal book, and I am giving this unbiased, honest review. I could hardly set this book down; it is book #13 in this very exciting series. Toby is my favorite author, and she has created the most interesting characters, and a very suspenseful tale. Sophie is trying to protect her children from her most evil mother, Pim Wat, who has completely changed her looks and location. Pim Wat is back, ready to get her grandchildren, and now Sophie is in danger from her. Conner is looking to save her, Pierre Raveaux, a Security Solutions agent, is sent to Paris to locate Pim Wat with her new identity. That is just the start of this adventure, such excitement, action, emotions, and fantastic characters are all found in this novel. It is one of the most thrilling books I have read, and I am excitingly waiting for the next one. I highly recommend this book to anyone.

I absolutely loved this story. It’s complete with feelings, action, a love triangle and adorable children. We’ve watched Sophie evolve from this awkward tech guru to this single mom of two fighting crime and finding love. Conner was living under multiple identities and is now the Master of a secret ninja society, and will do anything for Sophie. Pierre is a sexy French detective caught up in feelings for Sophie and her children. Who will she choose? Her love life is in shambles but maybe she’ll find love after all. First, they need to locate her mother, the elusive Pim Wat.

Having followed Sophie and her evolution as a complicated yet socially inept, Thai swearing, physically fit and mentally brilliant young woman to head of a successful security company and mother of two through the entire series, I have to say the series just keeps getting better and better.
Wired Revenge found me racing through the pages to see what wicked evilness Sophie's mother, Pim Wat, with a new identity and reconstructed face, would plot against Sophie in an effort to destroy her and take her children. Along the way I found myself rooting for the men in Sophie's life that love her and the children, both doing what they can to help locate Pim Wat under her new identity.
Sophie is a strong woman, determined to win the battle against the vile machinations against her little family. What lengths will she go to to succeed? Read Wired Revenge to see if Sophie is successful!

Toby Neal has another dynamite book in the Wired series with Wired Revenge. This tightly-wound thriller kept me engaged throughout, it’s a true page-turner. The book opens with Sophie pregnant and about to give birth, Pim Wat with a new identity and seemingly enjoying life again, and Connor back as the Master of a secret society. You really can’t ask for more drama, intrigue, and interest in a book. As is Neal’s hallmark, the characters are complex and fascinating, people you want to know better. With two love interests, an evil, vengeful mother on the loose, and a security company to run, Sophie’s life is as complicated as ever. The plot is intense and will keep you guessing to the end.

I for one can never put down a Toby Neal book once I start reading it I have to finish it. Every book is a new adventure and this was some adventure. Thrills, chills, good guys and bad guys that never disappoint. Start to finish providing a great story that when you get to the end and are ready for the next chapter you find out that was it, you have to wait for the next book. One of a select few authors whose series of books have kept me hooked and always interested and wanting more. Thank you Toby for such wonderful writing.

A riveting adventure awaits, again, as Toby Neal brings back our beloved and believable characters in Wired Revenge. From the evil Pim Wat, Sophie's mother who is intent on stealing her grandchildren much to Sophie's fear and despair, to those who circle their protective love around Sophie and her little family at great threat to their own lives, this thriller is nothing short of thrilling. Unbelievable adventure weaves its way into every chapter and this latest novel in Toby Neal's Paradise Crime Thrillers series only left me wanting more. Thank goodness there is another novel in the works! Without hesitation, I promise that Toby Neal does not and will not disappoint her readers. A must read, for sure!

All I can say is OMG! This book....it is so explosive, so exciting, so nerve-racking, so much of a roller coaster ride!!! I loved the book from start to finish. I couldn't put the book down, but then wanted it to keep going! The characters keep you engrossed, and had you wondering what they would do next.
The story line is just phenomenal! I loved every finger nail biting scene along with the scenes that tied the characters together. This book has to be the best one in the series! I love, love, love the characters, except for one sneaky, conniving, crazy person, who I love to hate!! Thanks Toby for another awesome book!

This series keeps getting better. Sidney still is a formable woman even with a baby in a sling attached to her body and pushing a toddler in a stroller.
There is no one more evil than Sidney’s mother, Pim Wat. She won’t be satisfied until she has killed Connor and has stolen Sidney’s two children. Connor has made a deal with the CIA, if he captures Pim Wat and turns her over to them, the USA government will dismiss all charges against him and return all his money that they confiscated. Nothing goes as planned. I was given an advance copy to read and give my honest review.

RIVETING THRILLER FROM START TO FINISH!
When award-winning author Toby Neal releases another installment in her Paradise Crime Thriller Series, readers should be on the lookout for another riveting read! Neal brings a powerful punch as she has devised a binge-worthy plot that will keep you turning pages way into the night. Her cast of characters are always stretching the limits to create murder and mayhem in the pursuit of assassinating Sophie. There is no one more cunning in their pursuit than Sophie's mother, Pim Watt, the most ruthless, cutthroat, deviant, heartless, relentless assassin of them all and nothing will thwart her plans of Sophie’s demise! Now that Sophie has a toddler and a newborn, she is at her most vulnerable state but she also is hypervigilant in providing them with the best protection possible. Since Sophie is doing her part to help protect the world from evil, can a backup plan to take out Pim Watt be put into play that will work? Who is brilliant enough to devise such a plan? If they are successful, can Sophie possibly begin to imagine what life would be like as someone who is almost “whole” again?

Sophie is back and as interesting as ever. Unfortunately, her mother Pim Wat is back too. This is an action-packed story that will keep your interest. I can't wait for the next book. I love this series.

Sophie is back, expecting her second baby, and trying to help find her evil mother who is intent on kidnapping Sophie’s children and destroying her life. Sophie is a strong female character who is determined to prevent that from happening. This is an action packed story from start to finish.

Sophie is doing her best to protect her children and loved ones while dealing with the loss of Jake, but her malevolent mother has vile plans that embroil Sophie’s life. Fortunately, she has a strong support system that enables her to overcome her extraordinary challenges. Wired Revenge is another “can’t put it down” book from the very creative mind of Toby Neal.
February 11, 2022
Pim Wat is everything you DON'T want in a mother. She wants her grandchildren and has no problem killing her daughter to have them. She is leading Sophie on a merry chase in several countries and will not let anything or anyone get in her way to reach her goal. Every character is perfectly situated, every scene well told and exciting. It's a story that will keep you hanging on and eager for the next adventure. Highly Recommended.

I am a proud member of Toby Neal's Advance Readers team and required to give an honest review. If I could give this book 10 stars it wouldn't be enough. Sophie goes into labor early before she had planned to take her maternity leave. Her assassin mother Pim Wat was nowhere to be found but Conner had all his feelers out and was thought to have found someone who could be her in Paris. So Security Solutions sends Pierre Raveaux to see if he could identify if it was actually her. Now the only thing on Pim Wat's mind is getting ahold of her grandchildren and it goes from there. I can only tell you that I really shouldn't have started reading this at 10pm because it was so exciting. Every character in Ms Neals books makes me feel like I know them intimately. I want them to find love and to above all else stay alive. This book doesn't miss a beat and I can't wait until the next one comes out.

I was privileged to get an advanced readers copy of the book and here is my honest opinion. Wow, what a ride, I did feel as if watching a very good movie. I really enjoy books like that when you cannot stop until the end (just one more chapter, I have to know how it ends.. :)).
As always it's a great adventure, easy readable storyline, well developed characters, colorful settings which all make it so enjoyable. I would recommend to any reader, also would suggest to start from the first book in the series, it is well worth your time!

I love to hate Pim Wat! She defied my plans for her. Writing this book was like watching a movie for me...with more to come in Wired Target!

excellent read!
Once again Toby has outdone herself. This is a gripping tale. Couldn’t read it fast enough to find out if Conner made it. If Pim Wat would be caught. Another amazing read from Toby Neal!
