About this listen
The Bourne Identity meets Minority Report in this first highly anticipated installment in number-one New York Times best-selling author Kim Harrison's sexy new romantic suspense trilogy, featuring a brilliant special task agent at the top of her field and set in a futuristic Detroit.
During a routine but dangerous Opti task, Peri Reed finds out her trusted partner has made her a corrupt agent. Her unique ability to jump back 40 seconds in time to correct a mistake leaves her vulnerable when her partner, who is responsible for replacing her memory of the event, gives her a false one. But Peri lives and dies on her intuition, and she begins to piece her twisted reality together as she flees her one-time secure situation at Opti and tries to find the truth with a sullen but talented psychologist named Silas who works for the very agency trying to bring the Opti corruption to light.
With Howard, tech and med specialist, and Taf, gun-toting daughter of the opposing grass-roots agency, Silas and Peri try to rebuild her memory of the night she killed her partner, knowing it will put her mental stability in danger. Peri remembers, and thoughts of revenge keep her alive and moving forward as she tries to put an end to Opti, working with the very faction that wants to see her dead.

Every hero, even the accidental ones, has a beginning. Silas' radical theory that drafters are not replaying time as much as they are temporarily sliding into an alternate universe has never been well-received, but frankly, the darling of Opti's research has enough clout not to care until a professor with a grudge tries to put a permanent end to it.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

If the Golden Girls were witches
- By Nicki on 04-22-21
By: Kim Richardson
Peri is a very young, naive, and driven woman. She's strong and smart, but blindly believes and follows like a good little sheep. Opti has taught their agents to never disobey them. They are never to be alone, to always trust and confide in their anchor, oh and of course to keep a detailed daily dairy as part of their routine in case they ever find themselves lost and without their anchor to recover their memories. But when Peri walks into some shady meeting, drafts, and then does the unthinkable, that's when chips hit the fan. So lets talk about where this story went wrong...
I walked into Peri's life three years into her relationship with Jack. After only a few chapters into it is when the corruption starts and Peri goes on the run. I felt a total disconnect with the two main characters! Throughout the entire book, I never “feel” any connection with them, and then they jump to insinuate a hook up between Peri and Silas, a new guy to her now, but she knew him in the past, she just forgot. To put a twist and add to the total mind fuck, Peri loses her memory again and again, we start all over with her discovering the corruption. This happens a few times, and really waned on my nerves. With each pass for Peri the characters relationships still did not connect with me. The chapters just repeated the same spiel over and over to fill space, but when we got out of that loop the action scenes were great! There were too many major no no's throughout that never drew me into the story fully. Unfortunate for me because I am a huge Kim Harrison fan, but I will not be continuing on with this series because although the story idea is genius, the delivery fell flat.
The narrator January had a good tone of voice to listen to but not a wide range. When she would do her sarcastic inside my head voice, it sounded an awful like Joe what's his names voice. It was off putting to say the least.
Had great potential

Would you consider the audio edition of The Drafter to be better than the print version?
I enjoy the audio versions of most books better as I listen to the story while falling asleep. I enjoyed the narrator of this series very much.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Drafter?
As with all Kim Harrison's work I enjoy her ability to completely shake up the plot line. The most memorable moments for me were the complete plot shifts.Have you listened to any of January LaVoy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't believe that I have heard Ms. LaVoy's work, I really enjoyed this narration.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reaction. I was surprised at how entertaining the story was. I had read reviews of fellow Hallows fans that did not like the series. So I was dubious but found myself really liking the new heroine.Any additional comments?
Being a Hallows fan, I found it difficult to shift gears for the Peri Reed series. As I read reviews for this serious I believe that I was not alone. Sometimes, we have to step away for a series and read something else then come back to our beloved authors to appreciate their newer incarnations. I will be reading all of the Peri Reed Chronicles in future.Didn't Think I Would Like It, But I Did !
