Scars of the Broken

The Roger Huntington Saga, Book 3

By: Ryan C. Thomas

Narrated by: John Andrews

Roger Huntington has made his way to Berlin, where he is on the hunt for a notorious serial killer who’s eluded capture for years. With the help of some new friends and the element of surprise on his side (for once), Roger just might be able to save the day before anything goes wrong.

But that wouldn’t be Roger’s life now, would it?

Turns out his new friends might not be who they say they are, the killer may be onto him, and the benefactor who brought him to Berlin could be hiding deadly secrets that will get everybody killed...unless Roger can figure out what the hell’s going on before it’s too late.

worth the listen!

Ok, so I'm incredibly sad Gary isn't narrating this third book in the series. I felt like his voice and narration style just really vibe well with the dark yet at times humorous tones of the books in this series.. That said, John still does a good job narrating but it does make it hard to judge where I'd rank this among the three. As it stands, it's a solid third book in the series but 1 and 2 will always be my absolute favorites.
I did enjoy listening to this book and, ever since reading the first two, really wanted to see where Roger's story went. The fight scenes were great and the on point descriptions of some of the scenes had me so squeamish I had to nope out of there and take a quick break. I felt as though I was watching some of these scenes play out, that's how good Ryan is with his words!! And heck, hats off to John for pulling off these scenes as well, they can get gruesome!
I feel like this book expands the world we find Roger in with a bunch of entirely new, very detailed/fleshed-out locations and characters. I can tell Ryan did his homework when it comes to the European country Roger finds himself in (or maybe he's just that good, heck I don't know I've never been) either way, stellar job! Should you buy this? Of course, but even if the narration isn't for you, get the print version, I doubt you will be disappointed!

the whole series

this was by far one of the best series in the genre I've ever read, please keep adding

Good story, potato audio

if you're this far in the series you're probably thoroughly invested in Roger's characterization, and on that this book delivers (to a point at least) despite the rough quality of the narration. this one was clearly made first before the guy had better production values and had fully locked in on the wavelength for the characters and it kinda shows. That being said it's still Ryan C Thomas and it's still good, but far from his best work. It's easily the weakest entry of the series and the 4th book does a lot to correct the missteps this one engages in. I wouldn't go so far as to advocate skipping it, but go in knowing that and temper your expectations.

Worst of the series

The first book was awesome. The second book was pretty decent. This book was terrible. Feels like it was written by a teenager. The narrator was incredible in the first 2 books but not so much here. The audio has a weird echoey sound like it was recorded in a huge room and Tooth/Skinny Man’s voices don’t match up with previous books.
