This was my first book in the series, i think my first book by the author. I found it confusing,not knowing all the back stories. I also didn't like so much of the book being the perspective of the bad guys, i didn't care about them or their motivations, so that made it hard, I have read in this format and sometimes the so called bad guys are more interesting to find out about. the book was interesting enough but never grabbed me and it was slow going for me

The latest Livia Lone book by Barry Eisler has connections to current news about sex trafficking and powerful people. It is well-researched, as all of Eisler's books are, and links to real events are included in the notes following the novel.

from description: Ten years ago, the daughter of Homeland Security Investigations agent B. D. Little vanished into thin air. So did seven other girls—the crimes all bearing the same signature characteristics.

Now the disappearances have begun again. And Agent Little’s efforts to investigate are being blocked by forces far above his pay grade. Desperate, he turns to Seattle sex-crimes detective Livia Lone, the most obsessive hunter of predators Little knows.

Livia Lone has continued to grow in these books, and she never gives up on her mission to save young women. While very different from Lisbeth Salander, she is every bit as determined to pursue and bring to justice, legal or otherwise, those who abuse women and children--regardless of their wealth and powerful positions.

The Livia Lone books are a spin-off of the John Rain books, and some of the characters from the John Rain series make appearances. All of Eisler's books are intense thrillers, and this one doesn't disappoint!

This is Eisler's fourth in the Livia Lone Series. SUGGEST reading these in order to understand the full scope of the life of Livia Lone. FBI, Spys, Police, and corrupt politicians are on the TO DO list of Detective Lone. A lot of action grace the pages of this series along with the POV being shared by the Good and the Bad guys. "A copy of this book was provided by Thomas & Mercer via NetGalley with no requirements for a review. Comments here are my honest opinion."

I finished this book in two days! I am an avid reader of the Livia Lone series. I think that this book is the best to date.

Fantastic story. Definitely a five out of five! Would recommend Barry Eisler to everyone. Great author in this genre.

I really enjoy books by Barry Eisler. He's one of those authors that when he publishes a new book, you know you're going to get a good story.

I liked this book in the series a little more than the previous ones because there's a bit more depth to Livia, and I feel like I've gotten to know her more.

This was fun, suspenseful, and a really good read.

Thank you to the publisher and #netgalley for an advance copy. This did not effect my review.

I think that this book has been the best in the series yet. It was fast, action-packed, thrilling and fun read. It was highly engaging and I finished the entire book in a single sitting.

This book was more of a thriller than a mystery, and still it was intriguing enough to keep me on the edge of my seat. The book is exceptionally written and highly enjoyable. It was interesting, real and thrilling.

What I really liked about this book, specifically this book in the series, was Livia Lone. Livia was at her best in this book. While the earlier installments in this series read more like report, this book had more feeling. Livia was portrayed as more human and.... more than a broken woman full of anger and hate. She has grown as a character, and I enjoyed the book far more because of her.

I usually don't enjoy multiple points of view, especially those of the bad guys. But in this book, Barry Eisler makes it work. They gave me another perspective and went well with the flow of the story.

In conclusion, I would recommend this book to all those who enjoy crime shows and books.

Livia Lone returns in All the Devils for her fourth grueling investigation, and third series-proper novel, after The Killer Collective saw her joining forces with Barry Eisler’s other series character, John Rain. And it just might be her biggest and most challenging case to date after Homeland Security agent B.D. Little finds new information surrounding his daughter’s disappearance that compels Livia to investigate.

Congressman Bradley “Boomer” Kane III is up for reelection when Snake, his old buddy from their Special Forces days, makes his way out of Leavenworth. The two reunite so that Snake can help Boomer deal with some pesky rape allegations being made by Kane’s old high school classmates, and reignite the bonds they forged in Iraq. Both men are serial rapists and the seven women they’ve disappeared all share a common signature, a fact that draws Livia into their orbit while hunting for Little’s missing daughter. Complicating things even further is Kane’s father, the vice-president of the United States, who is seeking to protect his own political career while saving Boomer from himself, by any means necessary.

Eisler, as usual, does a terrific job establishing credible and multifaceted threats and situations brimming with tension. It makes All the Devils a high-strung, pressure cooker read, one that grows increasingly tense the more Livia is backed into a corner. And fans of this series will know damn well that Livia is not the type of woman you want to back into a corner. She’s as complex, fierce, determined, and motivated as ever here, not to mention tough as hell. In addition to facing increasing scrutiny from the Seattle PD’s top brass over some unanswered questions from her involvement in The Killer Collective, Livia is forced to contend with an array of threats from a number of different directions, each seeking to take her down in their own various ways, either politically or through direct use of force. Thanks to her history and psychological make-up, there are times, too, where Livia may be her own greatest adversary.

All this makes for a complex and very timely story given the recent Jeffrey Epstein news and the #MeToo movement (interestingly, Livia was first introduced in 2016, nearly a full year before the hashtag’s popularity grew into a global phenomenon to speak out against and raise awareness of the prevalence of rape and sexual harassment and assault), but Eisler has a knack for delivering the plot in a straight-forward, easy to follow way. There’s a good amount of moving pieces here, and a good number of thriller layers, but it’s never overly complicated. All the Devils, though, does rely pretty heavily on being familiar with Livia’s past exploits, particularly Eisler’s series crossover novel The Killer Collective. Eisler brings readers up to speed capably, explaining the backstory for new readers, but you’ll have an easier time with it all if you’re at least familiar with his last release from earlier this year. All the Devils also closes the loop on several story threads introduced over the course of the last two Livia Lone novels, Livia Lone and The Night Trade.

Emotionally, Livia’s a tough nut to crack, and for good reason. The author’s exploration of her as both a killer, a cop, and a brutally damaged survivor is ridiculously compelling stuff. Eisler does a wonderful job exploring the human condition of this fractured soul and her attempts at not only making peace with herself, but with her attempts to heal and find her place in the world as something other than a revenge-driven killer. There’s a purpose to her mission, and even as she leaves a trail of bodies in her wake, it’s honestly touching to see her realize she’s not alone. She’s a vital heroine, particularly given the times we live in and, frankly, I wish there were more like her out there.

All the Devils offers up plenty of closure for fans who have stuck with this trilogy, and opens up some possible new avenues for Eisler to explore in future novels, should we be lucky enough to encounter Livia again. There’s still plenty more devils out there for Livia to contend with in her own special ways, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed this is not the last time we see her.

A solid read one the series. I interestingly enough we live an hour from the Salton Sea, our step dad and step brother have homes there - avid motorcycle community - wide open deserts to ride. Been there many times.

All the Devils is an edge of your seat nail biting thrill. Great plot with well developed characters. I really enjoyed the writing style. My thanks to the publisher for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

I really struggled with this book. The writing was really good, but I had not read Any other book by this author and the constant references made the book unappealing for me.

While I do miss the "John Rain" series I guess heroine's are now the it thing. In the 4th book we find L.L. tasked to chase the bad x2 by none other than HS!

Once again L.L is the law with revenge on top as she battles all the bad guys. Good book but I would say predictable for me. I think you will enjoy these books but "John Rain" is till KING!

Book 4 of Eisler’s Livia Lone series finds the Seattle PD sex-crimes detective searching for a gruesome pair of rapists. Livia has been approached by Homeland Security Investigations agent B.D. Little whose daughter mysteriously vanished ten years ago. Little has been obsessed with finding out what happened to his daughter ever since and he now thinks he’s stumbled across a pattern of disappearances that might just throw some light on his daughter’s fate. But he needs Livia’s help.

Livia however is under the microscope at work: her Chief of Police has suspicions concerning previous activity she’s been involved in, during which a number of unidentified man were killed, and she’s made it clear that she’s not happy about the lack of clarity Livia has provided concerning her involvement in these deaths. Time to fly under the radar for a while. Except Livia becomes drawn into Little’s story and agrees to help him. But events quickly escalate and soon she’s neck deep in trouble but also convinced that there’s some merit in Little’s theory. How can she possibly square the circle on this unholy mess?

In previous episodes we’ve learned how Livia was sold to traffickers by her Thai parents along with her younger sister, Nason. Finding themselves stranded in America, having been physically and mentally abused along the way by who took them away from their homeland, the sisters became separated. What happened from this point shaped Livia into the determined, vengeful person she now is. Her job offers her the perfect way of hunting down the type of people who prey on young women, but sometimes the sentences handed down by the judiciary just aren’t sufficient to satisfy her desire to see these people properly punished. So Livia goes off the books too, meting out her own form of retribution.

Eisler has created a link with the John Rain books that preceded the Livia Lone series and from time to time characters I’ve met before turn up. This works well, I think, as it feels like something of a continuation of the Rain books, except that Livia is a very different person who does thing in her own way. In essence, it’s allowed fans of Rain (like me) to continue to enjoy the pace and excitement of Eisler’s earlier work but with an extended cast and with the lens pointed in a slightly different direction. In Livia, the author has created a complex but believable character who displays a mix of compassion and ruthlessness. I cant wait to read her next adventure.

These books are superbly researched and – as in the notes appended to my copy of this book – Eisler often provides links and additional information to support the authenticity of place settings, featured technology and combat techniques included in his text. I believe that it’s his focus on these elements of detail that set him aside from other writers in this genre.

Another brilliant offering.

A real well written book that is full of action and intrigue and ends in a different spot than you might initially think. I love the story of how Livia Lone has come back from a horrible childhood full of trauma to become a self appointed avenger against those that prey on women and children. This story brings a duo or men who have been committing sexual assaults forever and put them against Libya Lone. The only complaint I have is how often Lone is able to skirt arrest or death during her vigilante acts. If you suspend disbelief a bit, it is a very good book.
Thank you Netgalley, Thomas and Mercer and Barry Eisler for the ARC for my honest review

Really enjoyed reading this book, the plot was great and the cast of characters. It was exactly what I was looking for in a mystery novel.

Exceptional book that continues the series.
As usual,we will end up going for a ride and learning a lot about the darker sides of human trafficking.

I see this author on the bestseller lists all the time, and I can see why. He has a great style and knows how to craft a great story. A real page-turner. 4.5 stars. Recommended.

I really appreciate the advanced copy for review!!

Best Livia Lone Yet! Fantastic read, had me up late into the night. Great character, strong woman, ninja with a grudge. I'm a big fan of all of Eisler's books, I love the way he ties previous characters whom are all quirky and very deadly in their own right. Previous character knowledge enhances this book but it's definitely not required. Very enjoyable read, my favorite in the series to date.

Lou Jacobs's review Jul 31, 2019 · edit
it was amazing

Enter the world of never ending despair ... 10 years ago, Homeland Security agent B.D. Little's teenage daughter vanishes while returning home from the store... most likely abducted and murdered. No closure is provided in the last 10 years. In his personal research , at least seven other teenage girls have vanished in similar circumstances . Little has always suspected the crime was the work of two heinous individuals, and has searched relentlessly for clues. He is aware that the disappearances of teenage girls has begun again with the same signature.
He enlists the aid of Seattle sex-crime detective, Livia Lone. He respects and needs the skills and dogged determination of this obsessive hunter. He has both worked with and aided her in the past to exorcize her own demons. They narrow the search down to two men, who unfortunately are skilled Special Forces veterans ... who most likely are sadist, serial rapists and probably killers. Livia is nothing less than a heatseeking missile when on the trail of these predators .. it is irrelevant that one is the son of the Vice President of the United States.
Eisler proves to be a master storyteller and spins a fascinating and relentless tale of revenge and escalating tension building to an amazing denouement . Although this is the fourth in a series of Livia Lone novels it can be enjoyed as a standalone due to the expert background provided by Eisler.
Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer Publications for providing an Uncorrected Proof of this gem in exchange for an hones review.

Barry Eisler delivers another suspenseful, enthralling and action-packed story. The writing is top-notch and all the characters are well-developed. I especially love Livia Lone, the flawed but powerful heroine.

This time she is grappling with two long-term, serial rapist-murderers and their ongoing efforts to protect the political career of one while they continue to pursue their heinous activities.*

This is an excellent, engaging, fast-paced book, taking its rightful place in a well-established series.

* Sensitive readers be advised: this book contains graphic violence, rape, kidnapping and murder scenes.
