Ivy

Why are the last words ever spoken to our loved ones in anger? I knew the moment I left it was a mistake, but my stubborn pride urged me forward. I've awakened to unimaginable horrors, pain unlike anything the human mind could conceive, until him. Now, I'm too scared to trust my own feelings, as they have only led me astray. I push his kindness away, striking out in a rage of harsh words and unwarranted anger. As this new future is revealed to me, I crumble away inside, slowly and insidiously. How much more do I have to lose before I realize my sole chance of happiness is standing in front of me?

AvX

She is like a wild animal, cornered and frightened, unwilling to accept any sort of kindness. A fiery soul trapped inside a mind littered with insecurities and heartache. I ache for a kind word or a gentle touch as my body reacts to her slightest touches. How do I convince her to put aside the pain she has endured and take a chance on the unknown, on me? The fates put her in my path for a reason, and I will find a way to tame the fire that consumes her.

Contains mature themes.

I just adore this entire series

The most horrific things happen to the heroines in these stories, but they always come up swinging. To go from the horrors they have experienced and witness to one of these heroic aliens who have been taught the value of family just gets me. The affection that the Patriarch DaR has for his sons is simply heartwarming. His mate Kyra who is now the matriarch is the perfect mama bear to this family. AvX is no exception. I love how the characters from earlier books make appearances and very much have roles in their siblings' lives. The absolutely adorable Keeda is the icing on the cake. It's the comical, all seeing, will constantly surprise you first born baby girl (Princess basically to all her Uncles and Daddy who are wrapped around her finger) that keeps me wanting to listen to see what that child is up to next. Though you can listen to this as a solo book. The storyline is easy to follow and each couple ahs their own story and journey, but I highly recommend starting at the beginning to get the full effect. I cannot wait for the next book, This is a no-brainer buy series for me. Tor Thom is amazing. I love his narrations, but I do not think anyone else can read the various of characters like Emily Sutton-Smith can. On top of the slight southern draw she gives to Kyra to the robotic AI voice of the computer programs that helps to run the space ships and the housestead (Yes, even the computer systems have speaking parts.)- she does an outstanding job. I do not think I could listen to anyone else narrating this series, but these 2 narrators.

Love it so far

I definitely wanted more but it did ok. I felt like it was way too short.

Never disappoints

I have loved this series from book one! Jennifer Julie Miller, what a fantastic universe you have created! I enjoy all the characters but Sage is still my favorite! Can’t wait for the next book to be on audio because I LOVE TOR THOM. I actually wait for the audio because Tor brings every character to life! Your voice is the bomb!
