Ratings and reviews

Audiobook Review: Overall – 5 Performance – 5 Story – 5 So much action! Wow, what a conclusion to a thrilling series! I loved everything about the Code Name: Winger books. Netminder kept me on the edge of my seat for much of the story. Some of what I’m going to write will be pretty cryptic because if I say too much it would be too spoiler-y. We find out why certain things happened in the last book (which ended on a bit of a cliffhanger). Lots of stuff gets blown up in this book and many lives were lost. While this series isn’t really a romance there have been romantic components with Theo and his boyfriend, Eddie. There is more of that in this book. I love stories that make me feel things deeply and this one surely did that. I don’t believe I shed any tears while listening to the first three books but Netminder was gut-wrenching in places and I was nearly sobbing near the end of the story. Kirt Graves did such a good job conveying the emotions that all of the characters felt, especially Theo. I really hated to see this series end. Jeff Adams left things open enough that there could be more books about this secret agency and I will be near the head of the line to read them if he writes more about Theo and his adventures. A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.
