I have to say though I enjoyed diving in with Grayson and Jameson this time and leaving Avery as a side character. These boys have got their own stories to tell. That being said, this could have easily been two different books. At first the switching was taking a while to get used to but then sunk into a groove.
I was thinking the only reason they would be interwined would be
Second of all, who is the mysterious woman calling Grayson and what will we find out about that?
Oh! And Jameson revealing his grandmother is alive?! Not what I was expecting for his big secret in Prague but they have to tell us more.
I suppose these things will be answered in the next book - because ya know there's going to be another one. I am just wondering how long this goes on. Not that I'm complaining, I'm enjoying the series but I hope it doesn't become one of those things that keeps going just because there is money to be made. Because even I know there's only so far this mystery and puzzle thing can be taken...

I know this is probably the publisher's fault, not the authors, but I hated that it was two different stories going on at once and switching back and forth. This book really should have been two separate books! The constantly switching POVs took me out of the story. I would have preferred it as book 1 and book 2, one with Jameson's story and one with Grayson's. Plus, they didn't even have different narrators for each brother!
I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as the others. I don't know if that's because this is the first one I listened to on audio, or if it's because of the problem of it being too long and the POV switching all the time.
Overall it was okay to good, but nowhere near great. It was also a bit predictable.
Narrator Rating: 3 stars
The narrator was good at doing different voices. But not great at changing tone for mood shifts. And didn't use much emotion in the reading.
