Ratings and reviews

WIRED. STRONG.......Toby Neal Pim Wat, a face now resembling a gargoyle ,meditating would not stop the anger she held within. To rise like a Phoenix and strike terror in her enemies and those that stole years from her. Even the Master sees this dangerousness in her and honor that she is true to who she is, and as Sophia mother. Connor came out of hiding to rescue Sophia, now being hunted, transferring his assets to her, she feels he won’t betray her, but does she. For Sophie a multi task law enforcement agency is trying to leverage her to help them capture The Ghost., an international fugitive. A plot that quickly brings you up to date on the happenings of members of the family, and loved ones. From a tragedy to a happy occasion awaits Sophia, though her life seems to be with others wanting something from her. A great flowing plot, with action and surprises Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

Toby Neal continues to build upon her character, Sophie Smithson, in the Wired series. In fact, she keeps adding layer upon layer to all her characters until they become like friends that you want to keep hearing about their lives, no matter the circumstances. In Wired Strong we find Sophie adjusting to the new challenges in her life while keeping her business secure and on track solving the mystery of missing funds from an esteemed private school with connections to Hawaiian royalty. Threads from the continuing backstory of Sophie’s evil, twisted mother, and former lover, Connor, are woven throughout, letting us know there is more of Sophie’s story and the tapestry Toby has created, for us devoted readers looking forward.

Toby Neal, author of the Paradise Crime Thrillers, continues to bring Sophie Smithson’s story to life in her latest, Wired Strong. Wired Strong begins shortly after Wired Ghost ends. Sophie is still grieving for Jake and trying to deal with the various agencies who seem willing to do anything to capture Pim Wat and/or Connor while she is running Security Solutions. There are a lot of threads that are being woven together towards resolution but there are twists and turns that just keep pulling you along. Even as I tried to read faster to see what happens, another part of me was saying to slow down to make the story last. I saved this for a weekend because I knew from prior books that once I started reading, I wasn’t going to put it down until it was finished. It was nice to have Marcella take a more centered position in Wired Strong. Connor, the Master, Pim Wat, Sophie’s dad, the ambassador and a new interest, Pierre Raveaux, all play important roles in Wired Strong. I can’t say much more because I don’t want to spoil the surprises in this exciting chapter of Sophie’s life. While you can read this as a stand-alone book, you will miss important connections and character story points by not starting at the beginning. If you are in isolation because of the pandemic, this is a great series to binge-read. Stock up on snacks and your favorite beverages, plump your pillows, and get caught up in Sophie’s travails. You won’t regret it. The first in the series is Wired In.
