Included in THIRDS Volume One are the following three books:

Hell & High Water

When homicide detective Dexter J. Daley's testimony helps send his partner away for murder, the consequences aren't far behind. Dex fears he'll get transferred from the Human Police Force's Sixth Precinct. Instead, his adoptive father pulls a few strings, and Dex gets recruited as a Defense Agent at the THIRDS. Dex is determined to get his life back on track, but his first meeting with Team Leader Sloane Brodie turns disastrous. When the team is called to investigate several murders, it becomes clear to Dex that getting his partner and the rest of the team to accept him will be a lot harder than catching the killer - and every bit as dangerous.

Blood & Thunder

When a series of bombs go off, injuring members of Destructive Delta, peace seems unattainable. With panic and intolerance spreading, hostility between Humans and Therians grows daily. Destructive Delta is determined to restore peace. But the deeper the team investigates the bombings, the more they believe there's a sinister motive behind the bloodshed and chaos. Discovering the frightful truth forces Sloane to confront secrets from a past he thought he'd left behind for good. Now more than ever, Dex and Sloane need each other. The strength of their bond will mean the difference between justice and all-out war.

Rack & Ruin

New York City's streets are more dangerous than ever with innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. The Coalition continues to escape and wreak havoc in the name of vigilante justice. Worse yet, someone inside the THIRDS has been feeding the Coalition information. It's up to Destructive Delta to draw out the mole and put an end to the war. A skirmish with Coalition members leads Agent Dex to a shocking discovery and as the case takes an explosive turn, Dex and Sloane are in danger of losing more than their relationship.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Thirds Box Set with great characters, exciting plots and a engaging narrator. I love the Destructive Delta crew but especially Sloane and Dex and their relationship journey. This is a new scientific take on shifters. Be warned book three ends in a cliffhanger.

Found Family

Narration ftting and well done. This is, I think a new to me narrator.

Very immersive

Hell and High Thunder: Dex has been transferred to the THIRDS after doing the right thing resulting in him being ostracized from the human police force. Sloane, the therian team leader, does not want anyone new on the team, but he has no choice.
This book had everything, action, drama, shifters, found family and humour, which at times I had to stop myself laughing out loud, as I was walking home listening to it. Dex was a good addition to the team even though at times the team didn't show it.
Great world building and characters and a new to me narrator who I enjoyed listening to.
Blood and Thunder: The hunt for Isaac intensifies as his vendetta causes fear through the Therian community. Sloane and Dex are still hiding their relationship and Ash is as grumpy as ever.
Whilst you are following Sloane and Dex on their manhunt, more is revealed about Sloane's background and we find out more how him and Ash became THIRDS. I just wanted to wrap Sloane into a big hug when he told his story.
At times Sloane needs a medal to put up with Dex and these moments do add the comedy to break up the apprehension whilst more Therian lives are in danger.
Whilst Sloane and Dex are the stars of the show, throughout we learn more about the others in the Destructive Delta
I loved listening to this story and the special effects with the mics, felt as if you were there step by step watching them getting closer to capturing Isaac
Rack and Ruin: With Isaac gone the Order are still trying to fight for their cause and their lives when a new Therian group, the Coalition takes the threat to the streets. Chaos reigns down and the Thirds are spread thin, but with a mole in their organisation. Dex, Sloane and co are run ragged and cracks begin to show.
There was action from the start as Destructive Delta work around the clock to capture members from the groups and throughout Dex and Sloane try to make time for themselves. But it doesn't go smooth sailing and we learn more about Sloane and Ash, what their lives were like when they were younger.
Yet again I could not stop listening as whilst I guessed some what was going on, there were still some surprises and that cliffhanger.
I am glad I have the next in the series to go straight into it. I am really enjoying the narration

Great Narrartion
