Book 8 in the “Drunk Monkeys” series and the action has moved to Houston.

Although I cannot say that I didn’t like the book, I have to say that I had a few issues with it:

1. The world is falling apart and the traffic lights are still working. People are actually not sleeping to make sure they are working. Shasta is a county traffic signal computer programmer and she does not leave her post to rest. Somehow this sounded unbelievable.
2. I did not feel that Juju and Delta, the drunk monkeys’ team really like each other. They just put them together and they have stayed together. The previous teams felt more robust.
3. There is insta-love with Shasta, but it is a bit too fast even for my taste. The whole situation with the three of them, just felt that it was a matter of convenience rather than love. Shasta is there, she is available. And since everybody is in a relationship so can we!

At least the action is moving forward:

• Another lab owned by reverent Silo is found and destroyed
• More scientists are found
• Silo’s little helper has his own agenda which does not necessarily include Silo and
• Ax finally meets his new mother.

Code little monkey, code your tired fingers away! This is a 3.5 star enjoyable read.

Shasta Myers takes center stage as she is one of seven keeping the Houston roadways from shutting down. Seriously, people man these things? I guess I never thought about it. Shasta and her team are pissed off as two of the seven have gone MIA. Her good for nothing brother is also MIA. Coincidentally, they are all war veterans. Shasta and her parents are about to hold the last intervention with her drug addict brother when he returns home, clean shaven, clear eyed and flush with cash. Apparently he finally is ready to clean up his act.

I enjoyed this story more than the previous two because the events in this story are at a good pace and the plot is definitely moving forward. Juju and Delta are a forgettable pair. I did not even recognize their names as they matched up with Shasta as their third. Since the story is less about sex and more on finding a cure or vaccination against Kite virus, I am happily sucking this book down.

There are three different plots going on at the same time and all three make great strides forward. Finding more scientists is the smaller of the three and feels just a little bit rushed. Still, it is good as the two new additions help the current group with another breakthrough. The second more prevalent one is the undoing of the egomaniac Rev. Silo. With three different groups actively working to bring Silo down, it is a guess to see who nails him first. My money is on his bitter estranged wife, Mary. This is the plot which makes me giggle like a maniac. The unraveling of Silo is extremely satisfying. The third one is Shasta figuring out what is going on with her brother and how it brings her to the Drunk Monkeys. This is the one which is fun to read as Shasta pulls out a few V for Vendetta moves with half-baked plans. Still, it nets her a couple of hunks who are ready to love her up.

The erotic element in this story is less than the previous ones. The ménage is still delicious. I keep hoping one of these pairs is going to net us a mmf formation instead of the constant mfm. Regardless, the few sex scenes are hawt and sweet. The chemistry between Juju, Delta and Shasta works and it seems as if this pair is trying hard to get to know Shasta first. This erotic suspense is recommended for ménage lovers who enjoy military men and smart women coming together.

I feel like this one was lacking. There was a lot with Shasta and what was going on with her, why she was important. But for a menage book, it seemed odd that the trio didn't get together until over 75% in. I also had trouble with Juju and Delta. They didn't seem to really like each other, making it hard for me to wonder how they would be able to have a relationship with Shasta.

I can't get enough of this series. This time we are in Houston to try to stop one of the bad guys operations. But while there Juju & Delta have to stop Shasta from making a huge mistake. Of course she wants to revenge her brother but has no idea what she is getting into. Now the evil Rev Silo is getting way out of hand. Again the intensity is high and the sex is hot.
