    About this audiobook

    Ex-soldier Barrett Miles had no idea that vampires were real-until Belladonna recruited her to serve as a covert agent and infiltrate a murderous sex ring run by the most depraved of immortals: those who feed on the purity and blood of innocents. Their latest victim is a young girl whom Barrett promised to protect. She will be sold unless Barrett can find her first. Forced to team up with her former lover, undercover sniper Nick Maltese, Barrett is caught between fulfilling her personal mission and shielding her heart from the man who betrayed her.

    Nick is hunting a new breed of vampire and harboring a terrible secret when Barrett finds him. Soon a seething underworld of strange desires threatens to engulf them all. Can Nick save the girl and reclaim Barrett's heart? As the hunt begins, Nick knows he has only one chance to prove himself to Barrett-and their love will force them to embrace the darkest places in their souls.

      Cherie Dimaline's new novel seems small in scope — it's about a woman who loses her husband and is determined to bring him back, nothing more than that — but it's rich, tightly written and powerful.

      Elisabeth Naughton’s Awakened has become my favorite book in the Eternal Guardians Series. Damon has belonged to the goddess Aphrodite for twenty-five years. He remembers nothing from his life beforehand. He is loaned to the goddess of war, Athena, to help train the incoming sirens. He finds himself drawn to new recruit, Elysia. He will do anything for her. He discovers that their meeting was not an accident, there are other forces at play. Awakened takes place in Olympus and Argolea. This mythological fantasy is suitable for adult audiences.Elisabeth Naughton does an amazing job with her character development. I love that characters from the earlier books still play a vital role throughout the story. Damon is a terrific character with lots of layers. I love Elysia. She is brave and determined. I like that she doesn’t let her parents push her around. I like that she doesn’t give up. I think it is great how loyal Talisa and Maximus are to her, especially Maximus. Zeus and Athena make excellent opponents; they are crafty and powerful. The plot was exceptional, full of action and mystery. I loved this story. Elisabeth Naughton does a great job of protecting the integrity of the mythological characters while creating a new tale. I appreciate how things that happened in previous books played such an important role in this novel. Awakened is a difficult book to put down full of nonstop excitement. Followers of the Eternal Guardians will not want to miss this book. If you haven’t read the Eternal Guardian Series yet, I recommend following them in order. I think you would be able to comprehend it as a standalone, but you wouldn’t get near the same amount of investment to the characters knowing their background stories.Complimentary copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

      Oh gosh! I don't want to give any spoilers but the next generation connects with the one before in a weird twist of fate. Zeus is up to his games again and the poor Argonauts are his unwilling playthings. Damon is the anti-thesis of his original self. And Elysia is so much like her mom it's like reading Isadora and Demetrius' book all over again. That was very nostalgic for me, especially since the island of Pandora plays such a major role. This book does not disappoint and with the new generation of Argonauts, I'm excited about the future installments in this series. Squeeeel!ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
