First Thought when Finished: Ready to Die was the most twisty turny story in the series so far! Plus that very last scene--OMG!
Overall Thoughts: Ready to Die was probably my favorite in the To Die series to date. There was action, twists, turns, and a few shockers. The story was the strongest when it was focused on the case. It wasn't so much a "who dun it" but more of a "how we gonna catch him" that had me on the edge of my seat. The only time the story was a little off was when it was focused on the various romances. I don't know why but I just can't connect with the romances in this series. However, since they are background and not pivotal (IMHO) they don't distract from the overall plot line. That being said, I love the characters in the To Die series. There are 2 really strong female leads (Pescoli and Alvarez) that just quite simply rock. Fans of the Eve Duncan or Rizzoli and Isles series would love these two!
Audio Thoughts:
Natalie does a fantastic job with the To Die series. I think she nails Pescoli and Alvarez. She does a decent job with the male voices and her pacing is pretty darn good. I enjoy listening to these on audio.
Final Thoughts: I am counting down to the next release!Especially after that last moment.
