About this audiobook
Aspiring model Sandee Rozzo's big mistake was being kind to Timothy "Tracey" Humphrey. After Rozzo refused the 'roided-up ex-con's advances, she described how he imprisoned, raped, and brutalized her for two days. When the courageous woman pledged to testify against him, Humphrey knew he had to silence her . . .
His Weapon
That's when he turned to 19-year-old Ashley Laney. She had fallen in love with Humphrey, her personal trainer, and would do anything for him. On their wedding night, he made a strange request-one that would end with eight gunshot wounds and a dead body.
His Scheme
The police knew Humphrey was the likely suspect, but he had an alibi for the time of the shooting. How could they prove that, even if he didn't pull the trigger, he was the manipulative psychopath behind Sandee's murder? It would all come down to a prison escape, a manhunt for a killer, and an explosive trial . . .
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the first phelps book that I've gotten bored with. Im not sure why. Phelps is a great researcher and he is a great writer but he can only work with what he has. To me heres your typical thug.... stupid women who screw him. ... he takes advantage and manipulates everyone... blah blah, this story is so typical it doesnt peak my personal curiosity for long. Dude was creepy weird.. both women naive. Phelps tries to cover it but itsxall vanilla, no special dynamic characters to work with. On piers bronson show ashley says she came up with the idea to kill her. Lol I doubt that... no matter what she says. I dont know only audiobook of phelps I only listened half way. If it gets better forgive this review.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Rating: 3.5* of fiveThe Publisher Says: Lethal assassin Victor lands in the middle of a Guatemalan cartel war in the latest nonstop thriller from the international bestselling author of The Final Hour.Victor is the killer who always delivers...for the right price. And Heloise Espinosa, patron of Guatemala's largest cartel, is ready and willing to pay him just that to eliminate the competition--her sister. Heloise has been battling Maria for control of the cartel in an endless and bloody war. Now Victor decides who survives. An easy job if it weren't for the sudden target on his back.Victor's not the only one on the hunt. Someone else has Maria in their crosshairs and will do anything to get the kill. In the middle of cartel territory with enemies closing in from all sides, Victor must decide where to put the bullet before one is placed in his head. His only chance at survival is to team up with the one person who may be as deadly as he is...I RECEIVED AN ARC FROM THE PUBLISHER. THANK YOU.My Review: You know how it's always the civil wars with the most casualties? You know why that is? Family hates with more passion than any other enemy. And Victor the Assassin has just taken a job to kill one sibling at the behest of another. (They're criminals. Don't stress.)You don't often find series novels based around an amoral assassin that are simply unputdownable. This is one, though the pinnacle is still Tom Ripley. We're not up that high. But the story being told, with all its rage-fueled violence, is really shockingly...moral! The right things happen to the proper victims, the best thing that could ever happen being the end of this feud between crime-boss sisters and it does.In a very unexpected way. Lots of fun to read, perfect for the beach, and written with a deftness that renders the experience invisible and effortless. (But *really* violent...so much so I was squicked a time or two, which is why it's not a higher rating.)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I jumped into the middle of this series with book five. That book was an instant hit with me and since than, I can't get enough of Victor. When I get my hands on the latest book in this series, I can't read the book fast enough. Mr. Wood is one of my favorite authors. If you are a fan of a strong, male lead, great storylines, and plenty of kick ass action than, you need not look any further then this series. So pack your passport and strap in for the ride of your life!Victor is the "Bryan Mills" of this series. You can't go wrong with this. If Victor is hunting you down and you live to tell about it. That is only because he let you survive. Additionally, beware a sister's scorn. Sisters, Maria and Heloise are two women that you don't want to piss off. They will slit your throat without blinking an eye. As I said before, I can't read these books fast enough. There was so much action and killing happening but don't worry as the only thing you will get lost in is the story. In the end, Victor made have some out with some wear and tear but nothing that will keep him down for too long. Kill for Me punches you in the teeth will taking you on a roller coaster ride of action packed intensity!
