About this audiobook

Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels has seen humanity at its most depraved and terrifying. She's lost loved ones. Come close to death countless times. But she always manages to triumph over evil. Luther Kite is humanity at its most depraved and terrifying. He's committed unthinkable acts. Taken human life for the sheer pleasure of it. He is a monster among monsters, and no one has ever caught him. Each is the best at what they do. Peerless. Unmatched.

Until now...

In Luther's experience, people are weak. Even the strong and fearless break too easily. He wants a challenge, and sets his depraved sights on Jack. But with a baby on the way, Jack is at her most vulnerable. She's always been a fighter, but she's never had so much to fight for. So he's built something especially for Jack. His own, private ninth circle of hell-a nightmare world in a forgotten place, from which no one has ever escaped.

It's J.A. Konrath's greatest heroine versus Blake Crouch's greatest villain in Stirred, the stunning conclusion to both Konrath's Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels thriller series and Crouch's Andrew Z. Thomas series.

Only one can survive. And it won't be whom you think.

    I am sad to see this series end. I will miss Jackie, Phin, Herb, and Harry. Stirred was a perfect ending to the series. I couldn't have asked for more! I can only hope that Joe Konrath will write anothet great series- I am not ready to stop reading his work. For now, I will have to settle for Jack Kilborn.

    Good story, a little far fetched. And the cops are dumb as fu**in rocks, annoyingly so....

    Action Galore!

    Backstory:

    Jack Daniels is back in this installment but not as a lieutenant as she retired, but she is still very much in the thick of things as though she is retired the bad guys didn't get that memo! One of the most evil villains that Jack has ever come across (Luther Kite) is back to try and make Jack pay for everything that she had done to him in the past. He is willing to go to "extreme" lengths to make sure that Jack and her friends suffer tremendously with pain and torture.

    Though within this installment, Jack is pregnant - Phineas is the father - Phineas is wanting to marry Jack but she is hesitant as it seems that everyone she loves somehow gets a bullseye on their back from the villains that are chasing her so she is up and down on a decision, but when Luther goes through with an elaborate plan to end all their lives, Jack wishes that maybe she should have agreed to marry Phineas!

    That is about all I can give on a taste without giving away spoilers, so if you want to know more then you will need to read the book!

    Thoughts:

    This installment I think was one of the best in the series as there was continuous action throughout the story - lots of tension and nail-biting suspense. I kid you not - I read the last 60% in just a few hours as I could not lay the book down. I even was reading the book till around 3 in the morning - I would sleep a few hours then I would just pick it right back up to continue the story.

    Major twists and turns in this story kept me glued to the pages along with more quips and humor by Harry McGlade that kept me laughing. The stuff that comes rolling out of McGlade's mouth keeps me in stitches and it is the only thing in the book that breaks up the tension. I love the humor that is weaved into the storyline as it is definitely an ice breaker.

    This installment was also collaborated with author Blake Crouch as Luther Kite is his character in the Andrew Z. Thomas books, so this installment was extra special as I was able to have the best of both worlds in this book. The ending in this book had a major twisted revelation that sent me careening at a high rate of speed toward the end of the book.

    Now I am going to have to read Rum Runner next which is book #9 in the series and hopefully will be jumping into that book this coming month sometime as this book sort of ended on a cliff hanger and I need to see what happens next. I don't want no grass to grow under my feet for the next installment so I better get to it as soon as I can! lol Giving this book five Fight to Survive stars!

    Highly recommend this series and if you have not read this series then you are missing out!

    Luther Kite, serial killer, pits his wits against a heavily pregnant ex-Lt. Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels. Lots of violence in this story, read to see who survives.
    An interesting thriller

    I've enjoyed all the other books in the Jack Daniels saga. I'm having trouble pinpointing what was missing in this one. It just seemed really, really long.

    In this book comes the final chapter to both authors’ most popular characters, Jack Daniels and Luther Kite. Other characters from the past and/or other stories are tossed in to give this finale a final goodbye. I have read all of the Jack Daniel’s novels and have enjoyed the thrill of the ride. To see her progress and deal with not just the dangers she faces but the men in her life.Luther Kite is one sadistic person and he sets up a horrific park centered around Dante’s Inferno just to have his own private amusement at Jack’s expense. And boy does the graphic horror abound. I have to go back and read more of Luther Kite and the Andrew Z. Thomas tales.Not only is this a thriller, it is a horror with enough of Harry’s one liners to break it up with comic relief (You have to know Harry to understand him). And I liked how the authors interjected some of their personal lives into the scenario.I hated to see this series end, but I enjoyed the adventure.

    This book combines fast-paced action, humor, madness, and edge-of-your-seat, jaw-clenching suspense. It's like driving by a bad accident. You know you shouldn't stare at the gore but you can't help yourself. Jack Daniels is at her best here. She's tough, angry, stubborn, and determined, while doing her best to beat back her softer side. Her sidekick Harry McGlade keeps us chuckling in the midst of the horror. And Luther Kite remains my favorite, twisted psychopath. The pace is relentless and you won't want to put this one down for long - maybe just to breathe now and then. Konrath and Crouch are a formidable writing team, and Stirred allows them both to shine.
