Hunted for more than 20 years by a mysterious terrorist known as the Benefactor, former Navy Seabee Tom Sexton is done running. Working with his girlfriend, Stella, for a private-sector spec ops team, Tom has a plan to eliminate the elusive stranger who murdered his family. But Tom didn’t just emerge from deep cover. He might have been lured. A former colleague gone rogue has warned Tom of a shadow agent hiding in plain sight. If Tom trusts the intel, that means he can’t trust anyone else.

This series is all testosterone. Moderately entertaining, but overall I found it to be formulaic and contrived. It wasn't bad, nor was it poorly written. It just seemed to lack a kind of cleverness and intrigue that my favorite novels with in this genre share. The narrator has a rich 'made-for-radio' baritone voice, albeit not a particularly versatile one. His treatment of female characters feels half-hearted at best. His attempts at British and German accents had me cringing a bit at first, but I've heard much worse. I think this was the okayest series I've read in a long time.

I read so many thrillers that they can become a bit tedious. Firefly was a total and unexpected departure from the usual formula of this genre. The character development, the exploration of moral quandaries, the cat-and-mouse quality... many elements merge successfully here making it a delightful, rewarding read!

From S. G. Redling, the author of the bestselling Flowertown, Dani a data analyst with an elite security firm, possesses the unnerving ability to read people by the trash they leave behind. Receipts, parking tickets, the detritus of daily life — if you leave it behind, she will figure you out. Her latest case involves high-tech industrial espionage at a corporation with ties to the military. But when a team of assassins sweeps through the firm, stealing all files and killing her coworkers, Dani narrowly escapes.

Couldn't get past the narrator's voice.

So corny. Seriously. I feel like the narrator's role is to help set the tone of the story and her characterizations were so cliche, so over the top, that I couldn't get past the first 10 pages. I'll give the novel a chance later in the future after I've forgotten this annoying woman's voice. Sorry to be harsh, but yikes!!
