About this listen

This audiobook is narrated from the point of view of Ethan Blade—assassin extraordinaire, cold-blooded killer, heartless monster, and . . . retiree?

I’ve spent my whole life dealing in death, efficiently eliminating targets while fighting to preserve a sense of self and morality, to avoid becoming as detached and ruthless as my siblings. I thought I had succeeded. Then I met Jack Reardon—contrary, handsome, forgiving, and far too good for the likes of me—and my life was tipped upside down. When he asked me to move in with him, he didn’t specify that I had to quit my job, but I wanted to—for myself, not for him. I should have known it wouldn’t be that easy.

My old instincts—“Ethan Blade”—are soon tempted out of retirement by a job offer I can’t afford to refuse and by an old hook-up of Jack’s he’d be a fool to refuse. While falling prey to my own temptation, Jack struggles with his. Which is precisely when the true danger exposes itself—one of my siblings with no such sense of self or morality. Only pain. And he is prepared to rain it down on me and Jack, unless I can square the Ethan Blade I want to be with the one I need to be, in time to save us both.

Ethan

This is Ethan’s point of view of the events of book 2.
It was interesting hearing it and how it differed from the way Jack interpreted things.

Ethan POV

I loved this extended Novella as we got the story from Ethan's point of view. I was so happy as I wanted to know what happened to Ethan when he always left Jack and he is my favourite character. We learned a lot more about Ethan life and what he felt about Jack and how much he loves and care for him. This was an excellent addition to the series. Fab narration as always in this series.

Fan Service ...

Rowan Scott's pacing was perfect with the tension and suspense of Number Two circling Ethan being almost palpable. The tight control of the dialogue between Ethan (formal, grave, English accent) and Jack (casual, lighthearted, Aussie drawl) was also lovely to hear. The narrator's performance here was strong.

There wasn't anything fresh or inspired added to the romance, characters or plot but l enjoyed the fight scenes. Giving the author the benefit of the doubt, l thought Dealing in Death was for Ethan fans. For me though, the repetition from Why the Devil Stalks Death (Book #2) was too hard to overcome.
