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.
My thoughts
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.
Disclosure: I received this book for review from the authors. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
