About this audiobook
A lazy and wussy ex-gamer, Phil becomes one of the few humans who receive a mysterious alien piece of wetware which allows them to see the world through an augmented-reality interface very similar to those used in a MMORPG game. Guided by its stats and messages, Phil begins to level up, gradually transforming himself and his life. He even opens his own business in order to help his friends and complete strangers who acquire a newfound respect for him, assisting him in his travails. As Phil continues on the road to self-improvement, guided by his own conscience rather than system messages, he tries to find out more about the mysterious third party which has bestowed such superhuman abilities upon him.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I haven’t finished it yet…but I’m confused. Gleb, his friend from book 1 that he meets and pays money owed is in this book….but the back story has changed a bit.
Still scratching my head about it, and it’s distracting me - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Hero by Donna GrantSons of Texas #1As the introduction to a new series with at least three brothers to write about and a kidnapped father to find there will be three novels, if not more, in this series. I can see other books in the series if “sons of Texas” means any male from or living in Texas and if that is so there is Mark the Sheriff, Simon Moore the Chemist and a “son” that could show up for Emily Ashcroft the biologist…and any others that might show up as the series progresses. This is definitely romance and filled with suspense. Owen and Natalie were high school sweethearts that separated painfully when they graduated. Their lives have gone on with him becoming a Navy SEAL and her getting a degree, living and working in Russia, and working later in Texas for an imaginary Russian embassy located in Dallas. With a biomedical weapon stolen, the Russians wanting it back, three military brothers with females by their sides to make things right this has potential as a series. Things I liked: dialogue, pacing, characters, potential, the father, strong female characters, alpha malesWhat I did not like as much: believability - 14 years apart and hot for one another at first sight, embassy located in unbelievable place, the idea that the Loughman family had been so distant but came together with such ease as a military team, the ease with which information was obtained, Natalie stepping into doing some of the things she did without training or experience, cliffhanger at the endBUT since this series is romantic suspense and it has potential and I do want to read the other books in the series and it was an overall good read – especially if I consider it fiction for women that want to escape without having to think about what the reality of the situation this book presents would have really entailed then…it was just fine. I have to add that I have read and loved the two books in The Reaper series written by this author and rated them both 5 stars. With that said, thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC. This is my honest review. 3 Stars
