Heist

Valenshek Legacy, Book 1

By: Tate James

Narrated by: Lucas Webley, Michelle Sparks

Every four years, the criminal underworld engages in a game. The Game. The challenges range from the impossible to the deadly to the truly insane. Things that only a crazy person would tackle.

I’ve won the game five times. This time will be no different.

I’m at the top of my field now, the best of the world’s thieves. There’s nothing I can’t steal, and this time, the game is all about theft, subterfuge, and sleight of hand. Starting with a legendary painting of poppy flowers.

It’s a painting that disappeared into the blackmarket decades ago, but I know where to find it. The only person standing in my way is her.

Nothing will stop me winning the game, not even the sultry, quick-witted brunette who lures me into her painting studio with the most irresistible bait.

I have no option to fail at The Game. It’s my legacy.

The Valenshek Legacy.

Wow!

I’m not usually a fan of cliffhangers, but this one is awesome! The story is engaging and the characters are fascinating. I can’t wait for book2!

Narration is absolutely fantastic!!

Damn

This book was pretty good. It was a little slow, but the end the suspense, waiting for the next book to come out on audible.

Amazing Storytelling and Narration

Amazing story and once again Ms James threw a curveball that I did not see coming!! OMG. Can’t wait to see what happens in book 2!!!!

The Cliffhanger is FANTASTIC!

As I was listening to this entire story I was thinking "Meh...it's ok. I could take it or leave it." Until I got to the cliffhanger and then I was absolutely floored! And hooked. I can not wait to listen to book 2 and find out the rest. And how dare she act all hurt that John was hiding things from her when she was obviously hiding a LOT from him?
I liked that the Audible is done duet style narration. That is fabulous, always a great choice. The narrators are excellent as well. The way the female narrator says "John..." and nothing else speaks VOLUMES. Kind of like when your mom says just your name when you're in trouble. It speaks volumes. Whoever produced this didn't do that great of a job, though. There are several instances where one character is supposed to interrupt another character speaking. Instead, we get one character who stops speaking in the middle of their sentence, then a few seconds of silence, then the other character starts talking as if they interrupted the first speaker. It's odd. I've heard this done well in other books so I know it can be done. It's just not even attempted in this book. Both narrators do a great job bringing emotions to the characters. The story is written very well. Yes, I would recommend this.

Yes!!

Heist is another great Tate James success story. Absolutely enthralled with the characters and the storyline. Cliffy ever present and I’m here for it !! The narration is TOP TIER!
