Traces of Grey: Book Four of The Alexis Stanton Chronicles Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Nursing White back to health for the past two months has prevented Grey from taking on any new projects. She's more than ready to get back to work when White offers her a simple surveillance job.

The basic op turns up something from the past, putting extra pressure on White, and cutting Alex off the elite need-to-know list.

Everyone has secrets, but some are more guarded than others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love......Hate!
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2013

I'll start off by saying it seems I've waited forever for this book. OK, about the book, I loved it! Now about the hate part, how long will I have to wait for the next one?
We get to see Alex show more emotion but don't worry she's still a bad ass. I wish Alex was more feminine (girly) I feel like we don't really get sense of what she looks (once in first book) like. My one wish for this book was she acted more mature and I think she was a little but that was back and forth for me.
Black! I love me some Black! Despise Red (you will too). White, you frustrate the crap out of me!
When's the next book? I don't know but I'll buy it and any after!
Fan for Life! Thank you, JC Phelps

First off- I love this series and was ecstatic to get an email with the news book 4 had been published and available on amazon. I have now read it twice and read the entire series over again with book 4 included and have to say that this is one of the only book series that I can read over and over and never get bored.

I love how the plot flowed well from book 3 into this book and I loved the plot of this book. The cliffhanger just makes me want book 5 ASAP! This book builds Alex's character and also develops some other characters that I cannot wait to see what will happen with.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still growing
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2013

I enjoyed this story, and it had my complete attention. I can understand the arguments of some of the other reviewers about certain aspects of Alex's character during some scenes in the book. But to say that she was "too emotional" seems a little exaggerated. What some people tend to forget is her age, she is still young and inexperienced to how the man/woman dynamics work. She was home schooled, had most of her interactions with her parents and her good friend Colin. She had always lived close to her parents, and so she is missing a whole level of peer interaction which she is trying to overcome now. So we should give the author leeway to address this paradigm shift and to help grow the character. Life is messy, deal with her emotional growth, we have all had lessons learned the hard way, why should we try to short change Alex's growth.

As for where the story is headed, I feel sad that Red has betrayed Alex. I wish I could come to grips with this aspect of the story line. It doesn't jell with me for the simple fact that he is a trained psychologist, he has knowledge that should have given him insight into the need for confidentiality. He makes you wonder what team he is truly playing for....

All in all I had a fun time revisiting with Alex, it isn't easy being the only woman on the team but she is coming into her own with the group as a whole. I hope that in the next book she will learn to trust her circle of friends and to learn that sometimes trust is as valuable as love. She also needs to spend more time with her mom, she needs to be able to seek knowledge from the person who started the gig, to learn how she was able to balance her personal and professional life! No man/woman is an island, and Alex deserves to keep the friendships that she has established. Looking forward to many more great books!

I can't tell you how much fun I am having reading this series. They all can do what I think of as being impossible feats...heh...but I just keep thinking 'James Bond, James Bond, James Bond'. Really. She (Alexis) is an incredibly strong female character, but she is complemented by some equally strong males. A little cat and mouse romance, high action fun, that describes this series. BTW, I advise reading this series in order. They can be stand alone, but for the character development and plot lines, read the series...in order...

Book 4 finds us a month out from White being shot while attempting a rescue of Alex’s mother from a madman. There’s not much movement in the relationship between White and Alex, which wouldn’t be so impossible to handle if her work assignments weren’t stalled as well. Having the impatience of a two-year old gets her a new gig working directly with White. It’s a heady thing that may bear fruit, if she’s lucky.

It’s unfortunate that the assignment concludes with new barriers between the lovers that never get resolved or explained over the remainder of the book. Instead we find ourselves thrust into Alex’s next assignment; which serves to illustrate just how good she is. This may not be such a good thing, as it proves a pivotal moment for all the partners. Its impact is profound, and its consequences abrupt and startling.

I adore this series. I love the female protagonist and the various characters comprising her life. I love the small adventures within the overall arc and the growth we’ve seen in Alex during her time with White and Associates. Now let me step away from my fan-girl self for a moment. That is to say that I am a fan-girl of the series—but I’m stepping away from it for purposes of this review only.

Alex is somewhat spoiled--yet a hard worker. She is given to violence or combativeness more often than her male counterparts. Her overreactions come across as a fractious feminist at worst—all of which is realistic given her background. I was not crazy about the ending in Book 3; the way Alex embraces her legacy is a little cheesy, in my opinion. It was such a small thing at the time that I really didn’t see it as a major turnoff to my overall enjoyment.

Moving forward to Book 4 and the cheese factor starts to wreak havoc on my enjoyment. Those discordant notes carry over into several moments in the story. I admit it. I sneered after each one thinking “what a drama queen”. Those moments read like a teenager making dramatic pronouncements before flouncing out of a room full of grown men. Who does that? Or rather, what adult does that? I was embarrassed for the character and womankind as a whole.

Back to fan-girl mode: I’m still looking forward to reading about the new turn the series is taking. Alex is still a blooming young killer and operative who just needs more time to fully blossom.

I have waited and waited for this book to be released and can't say I'm disappointed. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this in a day and then read it again. The relationships between the partners of White and associates changed yet again, especially between White, Grey and Red. Who knows what book 5 will bring, will it be another cliffhanger ending?

Another brilliant read with a great cliff hanger could not put the book down. Thoroughly enjoying the Alexis Stanton chronicles. The writer makes you care about the characters and relationships and the story line is very engaging.
I'm waiting eagerly now for the next instalment to find out what will happen to Grey and Red.......
