The Swan and the Sparrow

Alex and Cassidy, Book 7

By: Nancy Ann Healy

Narrated by: Cassandra York

Claire Brackett spent years searching for ways to avoid the pain of her past. Following her father’s direction, she traversed the globe, seducing allies and adversaries to further his agenda. He used her as a pawn to maintain power and thwart enemies. William Brackett made one major mistake. He sent Claire on a mission to get close to FBI Agent Alex Toles. That decision would set Claire on a path that would change her life forever.

Twelve years later, Claire finds herself in uncharted territory. She’s become a part of the Toles family and Alex’s CIA partner. An attempt on the life of President Candace Reid and the unexpected deaths of Alex’s brother Jonathan Krause, and his father-in-law, Edmond Callier, have shaken everyone in Claire’s world. Alex asks her to take the reins at Carecom Corporation, a medical and bioengineering company that doubles as a front for CIA activities. Claire struggles to find a balance in her life, supporting her former lover, Eleana, through the loss of her husband and father, dealing with the breakup of her relationship with Charlie Hawkins, and continuing her work with Alex to undermine the group known as the Collaborative.

Love this series!

I have enjoyed following the journey of all the characters in this series! Love that it makes you laugh,think, and keeps you wondering what's to come.

ANOTHER GREAT NOVEL IN THE ALEX N CASS SERIES

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT IN THE SERIES!! IT CAN NOT COME SOON ENOUGH!!

The puzzle pieces come together

I love how the pieces from the previous books come together. This books makes me want to go back and revisit the series from the beginning. And again the narration was amazing.

Missing a book in between?

This is a home run in every way for fans of Alex and Cass, but we are missing a HUGE installment of the story. I kept waiting for a flashback or something, but it’s just not there. I’m assuming it’s in one of the Candace/JD books. I’ll have to find it because I need to know what happened to Pip and Edmund. Not a spoiler since the description says they died, but there’s no account in this book. Claire and El live in Alex Cass’ house. Alex and Cass are living in VA. No idea how all that happened.

something is missing

I have enjoyed the entire series of Alex and Cassidy. While listening to this title I kept feeling like there is an entire book missing between Identity and this book.
I do hope there will be more in this series. There are so many directions it can go.

Still want more!

I love this series. the main characters as well as the supportive ones are so well written that you fall in love with them and the world. I want to drink a glass of wine with Rose and Helen.. I'm still hungry for more..

This series keeps getting better!

There are plenty of authors who write series. None are quite as good at keeping track of everything and everyone as Nancy Ann Healy. This book was brilliant. Just when you thought all the secrets had been revealed, yet another is uncovered. I must admit, even I did not see this one coming! This series really does keep getting better and better!
I want to add too, that Cassandra York narrating these stories is BLOODY AMAZING!!

Fantastic

I love this series ! In fact I love all of Nancy Ann Healy books at least all that I have been allowed to listen to on Audible! I have been told Audible may not pick up the next in this series and that is unimaginable to me!! I love the complexity her characters, the raw emotions at times the tears and heartbreak as well as the emotional triumphs they celebrate 🎉
I encourage everyone to listen or read this series . The author can write !!! She is FANTASTIC AND THIS IS A FANTASTIC SERIES… hopefully to be continued ; )

Love the series

I love all the character developments and when a book ends it feels like I am leaving home. Book 8 needs to be on audible like the rest of the series… fast! I don’t like waiting. lol
