Zero Divergence (Zero Hour Book Three) Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 1,197 ratings

Zero Divergence, noun: no deviation from a course or standard.

After a key piece of evidence goes missing, a suspected serial rapist and killer evades prosecution. More than Royce Locke’s reputation is on the line when his investigation into the failed chain of custody suggests Franco Humphries might’ve had inside help. There’s no one Royce trusts more than Sawyer Key to help him right a wrong and uncover the traitor in their midst, but can they do it before the Savannah Strangler strikes again?

Relentless plus fearless equals flawless. Sawyer and Royce have come full circle—from hostile strangers to best friends and lovers. Neither a sniper’s bullet nor an arsonist’s fire could keep them apart, but what about a psychopath hell-bent on revenge? The stakes are high, and there’s no turning back now because the zero hour is upon them. Tick tock.

Zero Divergence is the conclusion to the best-selling Zero Hour series, which follows Locke and Key’s investigations and evolving relationship. This is a series you MUST read in order. It contains mature language and sexual content intended for adults 18 and older.

Trigger warning: Part of the storyline involves coming to terms with a friend’s suicide, which may be difficult for some people to read.

Review

Tristan James is a very good and talented narrator. I always enjoy listening to his soothing voice. It's comforting in a way. He always makes it easy to follow dialogues as he differentiates between characters.-- "Love Bytes Reviews"

    I am glad that I stumbled on this series. Love Royce and Sawyer as one of my favorite couples. I love how Royce didn't like Sawyer in the beginning, but he couldn't stop his heart from falling in love. I love the banter and the hot loving between them. The plot in all the books kept me guessing who was behind the killings. I also love the other characters in the books as the had the guys back. I love Aimee's books and I am getting read to read the next series.

    In this episode, Sargent Locke & Detective Key are dealing with a serial killer, changes at work, and their evolving relationship. Such a good action-packed storyline and sexy MCs with a plethora of diverse side characters to keep things interesting. What can say, I enjoyed this series.
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2020
    So amazing. Really REALLY enjoyed the conclusion to this particular series. Royce and Sawyer are an amazing coupling and their sprouting relationship had a lot of depth. The crime angle was interesting and didn't feel like it was secondary to the romance. I honestly just wish there was more. Like... 4 more books with these two? Their little cameos in the sinister in Savannah series is good but I just loved them too much to want to let them go. Oh well, I'll take what I can get.

    Great book. Great series. AND (in spite of how much I did not enjoy the curl up and due series which I very truly did not, though admittedly I only read a confusing short story and about 10 pages beyond that) great author.

    From start to finish this series has kept me on the edge of my seat I love Royce and Sawyer they make such a great team. Their chemistry is on point and their partnering skills is what makes them a pair to be reckoned with. I love the supporting characters and can't wait to read their stories. Each book picked up right where the other left off never breaking what's happening. Very well written and told with no editing issues and this time the story was told by both points of view loved it! All three are a must read by Ms Walker.

    Super exciting plot, maybe too many sex scenes, but in the end an exceptionally good conclusion to a wonderful series featuring the illogically named but perfectly believable police partners Royce Locke and Spencer Key.

    Read the blurb for the plot and if you are a fan already be prepared for some more scorching scenes between these two (maybe too many but none are boring). Then get ready for the surprise at the end of the book when author Walker lets us know there will be spinoffs and more spinoffs.

    Yesssss!

    Book three did not disappoint! The plot was a little more complex which kept me engaged. I even got frustrated with the characters when their love scenes were interrupted. The smut slowed a bit but the romance topped the charts! Loved the scene at the precinct after the fight between the divas! Fave!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Aspettative ampiamente mantenute
    Reviewed in Italy on January 22, 2025
    Davvero bello! La storia dei due detective cresce e matura sia personalmente che come coppia, rafforzando anche il loro rapporto lavorativo. Ho apprezzato molto la scelta dell'autrice di non cadere nel troppo smielato, cosa che non apprezzo in qualsiasi romance, lo trovo troppo artificioso in generale, ma facendo comunque trasparire amore e rispetto reciproco abbondantemente. Altra cosa che a mio gusto personale del momento apprezzo e ricerco, il non rimestare nell'angoscia e il tormento personale nell'affrontare i demoni personali dei personaggi, affrontando i temi del lutto con rispetto e delicatezza. Una bella conclusione di questa trilogia. Adorata tutta, non vedo l'ora di leggere la serie dedicata all'agente dell' FBI Jonah, al giornalista Felix e al PI Ricky.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fab finish to this series
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2022
    This was yet another brilliant book centering around Sawyer Key and his partner Royce Locke. The pair have great chemistry and work seamlessly together. I was hooked from start to finish and couldn't put it down. The world building is excellent and I can't wait to jump in to the other books in this world. I'm also SO happy that there's a new series out now involving Sawyer and Royce; I think I'd cry if I had to say goodbye to them forever!
    Overall, a fabulous 3rd book that is definitely best enjoyed after reading the previous 2. I would recommend it to those who like MM romance with some good old-fashioned detective work thrown in too. It has to be 5 stars!
