Number one New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Charlaine Harris is at her best in this alternate history of the United States where magic is an acknowledged but despised power in this third installment of the Gunnie Rose series.
Picking up right where A Longer Fall left off, this thrilling third installment follows Lizbeth Rose as she takes on one of her most dangerous missions yet: rescuing her estranged partner, Prince Eli, from the Holy Russian Empire. Once in San Diego, Lizbeth is going to have to rely upon her sister Felicia, and her growing Grigori powers to navigate her way through this strange new world of royalty and deception in order to get Eli freed from jail where he’s being held for murder.
Russian Cage continues to ramp up the momentum with more of everything Harris’ listeners adore her for with romance, intrigue, and a deep dive into the mysterious Holy Russian Empire.
Performed by Colleen Delany, Dani Stoller, Robbie Gay, Stephon Walker, Alejandro Ruiz, Laura C. Harris, Alysia Beltran, Bradley Foster Smith, Chris Davenport, Holly Adams, Jessica Lauren Ball, Joey Sourlis, Julie Hoverson, Kay Eluvian, Ken Jackson, Kimberly Gilbert, Lucy Symons, Matthew Bassett, Michael John Casey, Mike Chiporkin, Nanette Savard, Niusha Nawab, Nora Achrati, Scott McCormick, and Shanta Parasuraman.

The Russian Cage is book three in the Gunnie Rose series by Charlaine Harris. This series is set in an alternate history with a very different US. It features a ruthless, courageous, loyal and hardworking young woman who works as a gunnie.
I’m continuing my Graphic Audio listening to the Gunnie Rose series. I’m really enjoying Gunnie Rose and her gun slinging charm. The Graphic Audio brings the old west charm to life.
After the last adventure Prince Eli left for home and a quiet promise was made with Lizbeth. Nothing spoken, just a set of rings left behind. It has been some time since Eli left and Lizbeth is missing him, but she won’t chase after him, until she receives a cryptic letter from her sister, Felicia, that sets her on a rescue mission to the Holy Russian Empire.
I liked watching Lizbeth grow in her awareness of her strong feelings for Eli, she never really thought they had a future so she was determined to bury them. Yet, when Eli was in danger she showed up and saved him.
We are treated to Lizbeth making some choices that seem more like assassin than gunnie, but with the help of friends she doesn’t take on the burden alone. We meet Eli’s family and get to wander around the Holy Russian Empire.
The Russian Cage was a high stakes thrill with danger, adventure, love, and political intrigue.
Graphic Audio: What can I say! I’m liking the GA for this series. Each narrator brings their character to life. The music is perfect, the sound effects enjoyable, and the voices clear.
Rated: 4 Stars

I’ve still got to finish the Sookie Stackhouse series, I wonder if I’d like those on audio, maybe I’ll try that. Glad you enjoyed this one. Great review!

I read a few of the Sookie Stackhouse books, but never finished the series. I started watching the TV show and then the show went way off from the books and I lost interest (also never finished the TV series). Maybe the audios are good. I’m really liking the Gunnie Rose in GA. Thanks Lisa for chatting.
I liked this one for how it brought Lizbeth to admit feelings and see Eli in his world, but also to spend time with her sister, too.
I agree with you on the feelings, the world and her sister. This was a really good one in the series. Thanks for checking out my review.
What a fun way to read “back in my day!” Glad the GA is working for you in this series.
I’m really liking the GA. I got creative with the “back in my day” theme.
Thanks for chatting and visiting.
Great review! I really enjoyed this one on Graphic audio too.
It was a great listen. Thanks for sharing and visiting!
