Friends, family, action, adventure, romance, and suspense. These are the makings of something adequate. Throw in a unique perspective, story progression, and character development and you have something grand. This series is so well rounded I feel that it can easily go 10 books or more. As someone that earned every Audible badge offered, and who has more than 7 months of listening time I can honestly say that im invested. Time and money well spent. Platitudes and platypus.
