...WINNER TAKES ALL FIVE BOUNDLESS STARS
I never thought I would love a political thriller as much as I loved Winner takes all, but I do. Bidinotto has taken a genre that I usually would not touch and gave it teeth. You can read this as a standalone however I would not recommend it. There are many characters that are introduced in the first book Hunter and all of their backstories. Not to mention all of the nuances that make Dylan Hunter started in book one. Bidinotto is a master storyteller, and his characters have continued to grow as the series has evolved. I started this series in audiobook, and I have continued it that way. Conor Hall was once again fantastic. I don’t understand why he hasn’t done more work in audiobooks. His range of voices is beyond any other narrator I’ve encountered. He is truly phenomenal. Winner Take All, is gritty, fast-paced, steeped in mystery and intrigue and so loaded with action the story never stops. I am giving it 5 Boundless Stars; I can’t wait for the next installment!
