Hatch once again a very good story

LT Ryan and Brian Shea did an outstanding job with the story! look forward to more now that Hatch has faced het demons!

Storyline

Like while storyline and how there was a continuum of character Elements to expand story line.

Rachel Hatch finally has a love interest! In fact, two!

If I write what I disliked, it will be a spoiler, so I’ll just say the storyline was about someone becoming way too passionate for a cause and ruined several lives. I love for the twists and turns and subplots woven in. Have already purchased the book in the series! #10 of 12.

Hatch being alone.

it really made me sad to see you chose to have Hatch be alone 😔 I surely thought her and Savage were destined to be together.

Consuming

I'm a big fan of the Rachel Hatch series and the spinoff with Dalton Savage. The characters in both of these storylines are deep, intense, and believable. There are plenty of heroes here, but no perfect people.

The story in this novel, probably more than any other in the series, has a bittersweet quality. Rachel is still living with Cruz at this point, although she continues to struggle with any decisions about their future. Cruz knows he wants her. But even though Rachel cares for him very much, she's just not sure it's enough to settle down.

Of course, that's not all that's going on in this book-- it's just the part I'm personally hung up on after finishing this remarkable read. But realistically, this story deals with redemption as Rachel attempts to bring closure to the family of a fallen soldier. A death she feels responsible for.

Hesitation also has a starring role in all of the subplots woven throughout this story. Rachel feels responsible for Graham's death because she hesitated. She'll also feel responsible when she hesitates during a kidnapping attempt. Then there's her hesitation with Cruz. She's feeling at odds with the universe.

The authors have again created a furiously paced and complex tale that pulls the reader in and holds fast until the very last breath. The intensity here is equal to the power of the tsunami that gives this book its name. The giant wave that rushes in, leaving death and utter destruction in its wake has its sights set on Rachel, her team, and those she seeks to protect. What, exactly, will be left standing once the water recedes?

Readers of action/adventure, suspense/thriller stories, and romantic suspense will enjoy this story. While it can be read as a standalone, I like starting at the beginning to truly understand these characters, their motivations, and the ghosts of their pasts. Either way, it's a stellar read.

A Great Listen

Overall a great listen and performance. I have listened to all the books in this series and how they get to the end point varies a bit but the end result has become predictable. Reminds me of how Jack Reacher stories begin and end.

The destruction of the series

I wrote a review previously on whirlwind the book right before this. I spoke about getting invested in characters in the series and the simple fact that this book leaves you feeling empty, unfulfilled and feeling like you wasted your time listening to the previous books. I won’t continue with the series or spinoffs. I’ve also never written such a scathing review but it’s deserved.

Series not as good as it used to be

The male voices are pretty awful. I overlooked it last book but this one really grated on my nerves. The writing seems to have gotten lazy as well. In the first several books I really liked Hatch. Now, not so much. Also, without giving anything away, the timing at the end was off. How long was she away from her family that sp much happened?

Disappointed

Story was not up to expected standards. To many fractured storylines. Was a disappointing read.

Tired and Predictable. Ridiculous.

I was intrigued by the first few books in this series. Then... this book was so predictable, too far fetched even for fiction. You'll see. I had to go back and make sure this wasn't satire. One more and I'm done. Even good authors have a stinker. So maybe...
