The struggle between being good and bad

Excellent listen! I absolutely love all the characters! I hope there will be more Bo books to come!

How well the author kept to a good story line with the characters

Enjoyed the overall storyline and Bo had a decent back and forth with the good and bad fight that a lot of us find we have.

Bo

This is a great book about a spunky private investigator, that life throws several curve balls to, and how she manages to keep her humanity in the end.

kept me hooked from start to finish

Good storytelling, excellent world building. The voice of the performer is perfect for the narrator/heroine of the story. I didn't want to put this down, through the entire series. GREAT deal, in terms of entertainment hour per credit.

One thing I particularly appreciated about this complete-series edition:

The producers took the effort to label the chapters and the start & end of each book, making it much easier to track my place or navigate back to something I remember (for example, if the book keeps inadvertently playing after I've drowned off using the sleep timer, or when my earbud is in my pocket).

I've listened to several box sets/series over the last few months, and most of the time, the "chapters" in the Audible production are just numbered sequentially. It's pretty hard to guess my place when I'm in, say, Chapter 256 or so.

Characters rock

Team Bo is the best . Loved the character . Couldn’t stop listening to this riveting story.

Engaging

I loved this series. I found it while searching the author. I listened to some of her other books. I really loved it. I plugged in and listened through every book. Had a hard time putting it down. Loved the reader as well.

Good story & narration

Finally a series that shows character growth for the main characters! Haven’t seen that in awhile.
Narrator does a good job, would have like to see her a bit more animated in some areas though.
Good story, mostly like the characters, main character fights with herself over her identity and it shows by being quite the ungrateful, hypocritical, overly critical biiiiitch at times and that was disappointing but also a tiny bit okay as who wants a perfect main character?
Glad I got the whole series at once although there are too many times that the story or a character went on and on about boring stuff the story could do without. Because of this I recommend to some friends who only read books in lieu of listening to them that they should look for an abridged version (which 99% of the time I get the unabridged so that tells you something).

Bo, who?

I loved how well developed Bo's character was. Her ups and downstairs were great for each story. And ending was simply superb!

Good story

I enjoyed this series, although at times it felt like it was dragging on. I'm glad I finished it, but it definitely left me with a bit of the feeling that I need another book series

Captivating

I would say overall I really enjoyed this book. book 3 seemed a bit hard to follow at first but overall the series was worth the listen. especially if you like sci-fi type books with action and a tinge of romance. Also can't forget the murder mystery vibes as well.
