I want to start my review by saying I read / listened to this book via audible.com. I find audiobooks to hold way more excitement & danger than just my own reading. I love how narrators have a way of pulling the best of the stories out at just the right times, along with proper pronunciations & accents. I think of how people always say the books was better (when referring to a movie), well in audio, we have the best of both worlds! When you have a great author & a great narrator, it's like listening to a movie!This book is FANTASTIC!!! I liked it way better than book 1 & I didn't think that was possible. This story kept me on the edge of my seat the whole book! Every time 1 villain was caught or killed, a new twist with yet another killer would appear.In book 1 ACCOUNTABLE TO NONE, we met Audra who had been brutally raped by her boss then given money and a promotion to keep quiet. This is how her boss Olin (the snake) handled all his accomplishments and no is not an option. The more they fight him, the more he enjoys it! Out of fear no one ever did anything up until Audra and it took her over 5 years to prepare for it & seize the opportunity for her revenge, thus putting Olin in jail and taking over the firm she is employed at.In book 2 ZERO BALANCE, we find out that even though Olin is in jail, he still has helpers out there and Audra has more than 1 enemy! Piper, who is Olin's lover that was institutionalized is seeking justice for Olin to free him. A totally psycho bitch from the word go!!! Not only is Piper after Audra, but she teams up with Audra's ex too who was abusive to her. It is 1 solid roller coaster ride from here on with twists & turns that just amazed me. Throughout the whole book, I was on the edge of my seat. It was that good! many people will die & in the end we still don't know if Audra makes it. On to book 3...Up until reading Ashley Fontainne's books this past week, I had never read her books before. If you like action & thrills & cliffhangers & that sitting on the edge of your seat feeling - this ladies books are for you too! The suspense is incredible & if you can, listen to it in audio!
