PsyCop, Book 7

By: Jordan Castillo Price

Narrated by: Gomez Pugh

Everyone enjoys peace and tranquility, and Victor Bayne is no exception. He goes to great lengths to maintain a harmonious home with his partner, Jacob. Although the cannery is huge, it's grown difficult to avoid the elephant in the room...the elephant with the letters FPMP scrawled on its hide.

Once Jacob surrendered his PsyCop badge, he infiltrated the Federal Psychic Monitoring Program. In his typical restrained fashion, he hasn't been sharing much about what he actually does behind its vigilantly guarded doors. And true to form, Vic hasn't asked. In fact, he would prefer not to think about the FPMP at all, since he's owed Director Dreyfuss an exorcism since their private flight to PsyTrain.

While Vic has successfully avoided FPMP entanglement for several months, now his debt has finally come due.

Lisa is dating, and Vic is freaking out. Of course

Vic at his best! Yes, okay, okay, I'm an unabashed Vic's fan, there, I said it :P

But okay, he is how it goes in this book: while Jacob has infiltrated the FPMP, Vic still is fretting about owing an exorcism to Con Dreyfuss... and so it begins! Vic partner hasn't recovered from the basement full of reanimated corpses from the last book, Lisa is living in a tent at their place and dating... OMG! you won't believe who she's dating! There is a psycop who is missing, they suspect Laura is the one who killed Roger Burke, and Chance is haunting the FPMP quarters... so much going on!

But Vic is maturing more and more, and learning to trust a bit more and his relationship with Jacob is, as always, brilliant.

And his friendship with Crash here shines brightly. The way he cares about his wellbeing, how he worries about him having enough money to eat well, and about his safety; particularly after the crash and grab suffered by his downstairs neighbour.

Now, Con Dreyfus... I was really ambivalent about Con Dreyfuss in this story: I really disliked the way in which he lured Vic with Seconal, how he used his addiction to get what he wanted. But it is also quite obvious that his goal is the safety of all psychs. I ended really liking him, but it took me a while :P

And Lisa... if you ever had any doubt that Vic adopted her as his little sister, here you'll quelch them. He can't deal with the idea of Lisa moving out from her blue tent in his living room. And it's amusing seeing him trying to guess what kind of man she is dating.

The storyline is fascinating, and the final battle is EPIC! No, seriously, it's stupendous.

And, of course, it will come as no surprise that the writing is excellent, the same as it is Gomez Pugh narration.

The Dynamic Duo, Price and Pugh, has struck again!

Gomez, you rock! You make listening to a book so enjoyable that I wish it was a job I could do for a living. Your interpretation of Vic's inside voice is so spot on that I think you might possibly be a close relative.
Jordan, you rockette! I am so glad that you are sharing your incredible creative talent with us and am also so darn thrilled that you'll be continuing Vic's story! Now the waiting begins....

Omg this audio book was absolutely positively amazing. I would highly recommend this audio book.

Even better than the book alone.

I'm never going to be able to sing "Row, row, row your boat. " again without giggling. Gomez Pugh definitely brought his A-game to this narration,...and that's on top of Jordan's A-game for this tale.

I think this is my favorite book in the series so far. This story is so cool but also creepy and gross. I love it!! Vic and Jacob are the best, and Lisa and Laura. I love them so much. I even love Dreyfuss. Lol Vic is so funny. It's so cool what he can do. I can't wait to read about Crash's story in the next book. I bought the audiobook and followed along reading the ebook. The narrator does a good job. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this.
