Codename Wolfe

The Omega

De: J. R. Tootill

Narrado por: Maxine Mitchell, Sebastian York, Joe Arden

Agent Bradly "Wolfe" Tucker has one case he cannot solve: six murdered women and a cold trail leading nowhere. When bodies with an eerily similar MO show up in Philadelphia, he volunteers to assist with the case. He figures he will spend a few days in Philly, hand the case off, and head back to his life in Seattle. But everything changes when he stops at a local bar, looks across the room, and sees her.

Agent Leda Bailey has had a bad week. She has three dead women and no trail to follow. The clues don't add up, and nothing makes sense. So, she heads to her favorite bar to forget about the case for a few hours. When he offers to buy her a drink, she thinks this just might be the distraction she needs. The encounter turns into a weekend. Leda thinks this might be something so much more, but can she really let down her guard enough to let him in? He wasn't supposed to fall for her. He wasn't supposed to stay. But he loses himself every time he looks into her dark eyes.

He was Wolfe to his former SEAL team, Agent Tucker to FBI colleagues, and Tuc to close friends. But he wants to be someone else for her. Will she let him into her carefully guarded world? Or will she run when she realizes how damaged he really is? Friends tease him about his protector complex. They might be right. Because he would do anything to keep Leda safe. Even give her his heart.

Leda Bailey accepted long ago that no one will see beyond her disability. When she meets Tuc, Leda realizes she wants more than just a one-night stand. But how does she let him behind the walls that keep her safe? Will she lose herself if she lets him in? Or is opening her heart to Tuc the key to finally being truly safe?

The Omega Series is intended for mature audiences over the age of 18. Parental guidance and caution are suggested due to possible triggering situations, including but not limited to strong language, alcohol consumption, violence, sexual situations, and depictions of trauma.

amazing story

The story was great and the narrators brought it to life! Hearing the story from different perspectives made it unique and fun! Will definitely be listening to again!!

WOW! Loved this!

Codename: Wolfe is book #1 in The Omega series and I couldn't get enough of this one. Tuck is a former SEAL (codename Wolfe) now working for the FBI. The serial killer case that he was unable to solve haunts him, until a call from Philadelphia with similar victims gives him the chance to hand it off and leave it in the past. Leda is the lead agent in Philly and isn't looking forward to any "outside" help on the case.

We get a little background on Tuck's military buddies and what haunts them. We get Leda's traumatic past and the team that supports her. We also get the POV of the serial killer with his sordid past. The intrigue, suspense, and steamy times made this a binge listen for me!

The narration is pure gold. Sebastian York is Tuck, with his gruff exterior, but big ol' heart. Queen Maxine Mitchell is Leda, the tough talking agent with self-esteem issues. Joe Arden cameos as Ben, the serial killer, and gives the totally-creeped-me-out performance we expect. 5/5 stars for this trio!

Love true crime and romance in one

JR Tootill wrote an amazing crime romance book with all the suspense, mystery, and romance in one. Maxine Mitchell and Sebastian York were phenomenal as Leda and Tuc. Joe Arden was the perfect villain and was eerily creepy in all the good ways.

Amazing performance

Nice fast storyline with a good buildup of the characters. I enjoyed the action with a hint of spice for the performances. I think they all did amazing and really made the story come together. I especially liked having a different voice for Ben and how it added to the listening experience.

Strength and love

I loved the whole story! The best story line I’ve listened to. The narration was outstanding. They brought the story alive. The emotions they brought out was so real. This book would make a fantastic made for TV movie. Some how a producer needs to hear this story.

Hard to stop listening to. Really liked it!

My romantic suspense heart is happy. Maxine Mitchell and Sebastian York are perfect as Leda and Tuc with their banter, and it's great to see such strong characters be normal vulnerable human beings. They've been through very hard times and just want someone to love, yet are both still kind of scared and uncertain if they can let go enough and trust another person to let love in. She lost a limb, he lost a friend, and together they weave their way through that mental trauma in a way that reminds the reader that just because you survived a terrible ordeal, that doesn't mean the pain just goes away, mentally or physically.
The aftermath of surviving takes a lot of work. You don't see a whole lot of books reminding people that just because you were good in the military, that doesn't mean you'll be instantly great at or enjoy being an FBI Agent. I liked seeing the difference and how it might feel to have to transition from one to the other. The serial killer plot sucked me in right away, and Joe Arden was fantastically creepy as Ben. I love books where we get to see the killer's point of view throughout the investigation, and the whole thing gave me a Silence of the Lambs vibes. Definitely recommend. Can't wait for more!

Great, Suspenseful Audiobook

Codename Wolfe by J.R. Tootill is a fun mix of suspense, romance, and action that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The story follows Tuc and Leda, two FBI agents who team up to solve a string of murders.

One of the standout aspects of this audiobook is Queen Maxine Mitchell’s performance. She really brings the characters to life, nailing the humor, tension, and emotions. She does an especially great job with Leda, capturing her strength and toughness perfectly.

The chemistry between Tuc and Leda is off the charts, with their snappy, witty banter being a major highlight. They’re a perfect match in stubbornness and wit, and their relationship develops naturally. There’s a little bit of spice, but the main focus is on the suspense and mystery, which keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Tootill’s writing, paired with the killer narration, creates an immersive experience. The pacing is spot-on, with just the right amount of tension and twists to keep things interesting. The action scenes are thrilling, and the emotional moments are handled with care, striking a nice balance.

Joe Arden’s character might make you feel a little uneasy, but that just shows how good he is at voice acting. He really nails it, making the character feel super real.

All in all, Codename Wolfe is definitely worth a listen—if only to hear Queen Maxine Mitchell banter with Sebastian York and experience a creepy Joe Arden in the mix.

Gripping from beginning to end

This book was so good, I was engaged and on the edge of my seat through the whole thing. There were no 'filler chapters', at no point was I bored and waiting for more action. It was a ride from start to finish.

Audkobook is duet narration and the narrators were absolute perfection in these roles. All 3 of them brought these characters to life and made me fall in love with them.

If you're not sure, based on the blurb, that this book is for you I'd say just read or listen to the prologue. That prologue grabs you by the damn throat and drags you in, and the story just never lets you go.

Cannot recommend it enough and I'm so excited to continue this series.

Terrific Story! Amazing Narration & Series Start!

This is my first book written by J.R. Tottill and I enjoyed her writing style, the originality of the story she created, all its layers, as well as the complexity of the characters. The story not only grabbed my attention and captivated it the entire time, but it tugged at my heartstrings too. This story brings together two FBI agents working on the same serial killer case, Agent Bradley “Wolfe” Tucker, aka Tuc, who works in the Seattle office and Agent Leda Bailey, who works in Philadelphia. Tucker was the original agent on the case, and it has been frustrating for him because the killer has evaded him in every step, but now that the killer has moved on to Philly he is hoping to pass the case over to the lead agent in that office. Tucker, a former SEAL, attended a funeral for one of his team members on his way to Philly and he did not take his death well, because he felt like he did not do enough for him and the first thing he did in Philly as go to the bar to drown his sorrows. Leda has her own history with serial killers and this recent case is bringing up ghosts from her past and triggering her PTSD. She goes out to drown her own sorrows and to find someone to spend time with, and that someone turns out to be Tuc. There was an instant connection and the chemistry between them was smoking hot, since neither shared details about themselves neither knew they would be coworkers until after. It was great to watch these two get to know each other, battle their inner demons, all while navigating a work relationship and trying to solve the case. When the killer makes a move and brings danger right to their door, the team works diligently, trying to track him down and save one of their own. There is never a dull moment in the book, the story is cleverly plotted with the perfect balance of drama, angst, mystery, thrilling and suspenseful moments, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. The world building and character growth and development are fantastic and I loved the developments at the end, which leads to a new and exciting beginning for the characters and series. J.R. Tootill, thank you for this great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 J.R. Tootill chose the perfect cast, Maxine Mitchell, Sebastian York, and a cameo appearance by Joe Arden, to bring her characters and story to life. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. York absolutely nails it as Tucker, grasping every aspect of his personality, from his despair and inner turmoil to his caring and protective side. Mitchell is just as amazing in her role as Leda, showcasing her personality perfectly, from when she battles her inner demons and PTSD, to her fierceness and determination. Arden nails it in his role as Ben, the deranged serial killer, jumping from a nice, soft-spoken guy to a madman in the blink of an eye. They were fabulous performing the voices of all the secondary characters, too. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevates the story to another level. Thank you for another amazing listen.

Crime Romance

This was a really good book, the narration was on point! Sebastian, Maxine, and Joe are amazing narrators. Codename Wolfe is a mix between criminal minds and romance. This book also demonstrates that we all have this inner strength and bravery even when we can't see it.
