Nothing Gained

The Chosen One, Book 4

By: Macy Blake

Narrated by: Michael Dean

Sawyer Smith’s life is a hot mess.

Hot, because he’s found six of his eight mates. To say things are heating up between them is putting it mildly.

A mess, because he’s the Chosen One, the son of a goddess with no powers of his own, tasked with fixing the broken magic in his world....And he has no clue how to do it.

With every new layer of mystery that's revealed, Sawyer's doubts about his abilities get stronger. To complicate matters, Sawyer is growing weaker by the day. Meanwhile, his newest guardian, the one he’s calling Yellow Eyes, refuses to reveal himself.

With time running out, Sawyer's desperate enough to make a daring move -- one that's potentially deadly for him and his mates. Because at the end of the day, if there’s nothing ventured, there’s nothing gained.

Getting close

Finally, we have the last guardians, you know yellow eyes from the woods- such an angry dude, hope he embraces the mate life- Pip is the last one and I can’t wait to see what he gets up to. The mean brother was keeping a certain guide captive as well. Getting ready for the big show down.

another mate and more revealed secrets

This series continues to be fun. I like how each character is unique. I cannot say that I am fond of the newest character introduced in this book but I am curious to know more about him. And the narration by Michael Dean continues to be excellent.

Better and better

I love this series and all the characters. Sawyer is strong and now he finally is starting to find his place and his powers. And I love that all the other mates have so different personalities and I want a Drake of my own! And all the others also :D

it's getting closer

In this episode of the chosen one, Sawyer has finally found all of his guardians and is getting ready for the end.

Michael Dean's narration was lovely.

speechless

this book kept me on my toes it was epic to a very large proportion. I am stunned, I am Jinshook and I hope book 5 is well done just as this.

The end is near!

I've binged this series on audio, and while it is obviously keeping my attention with how fast I'm getting through them, I feel like I'm on a bit of Sawyer overload. I appreciate how all the guardians are central to the story, it isn't just about Sawyer but all of them and their unique relationships to each other. The pacing felt a bit off - with the fun visit of the parents juxtaposed with the danger of the rescue of the last guardian it was a bit of a roller coaster with surprises and secrets around every corner. I really need to read the Hellhound and the Magical Mates series to fill in some of the goings on outside the Chosen One's immediate sphere.

ETA: I really disliked the voice for Pip - I imagined it would be high and sweet, not like he smoked a pack of cigarettes every day.

Love this series

I love the series so much! It’s one that does need to be read or listened to in order else it won’t make sense. I love finding out new things and there are so many secrets to find out and find answers to. I need to know what’s going to happen next. The narrator as always does a fantastic job with the story and the characters.

So good

This series just keeps getting better. We get to meet a new mates. Even though one is really prickly. The other is super friendly and you can't help but love him. Sawyer once again learns new things about his past and the consequences of his actions.

Wowzers!

The search for all the mates continues. The ride along the way is crazy! I can’t wait for the next audiobook to see how it all unfolds!

Guardians gathered

Sawyer has all his guardians now and I can’t wait until he figures out what he needs to do to fix everything that broke I didn’t really like Dakota much he hasn’t been anything but hostile really so far but I love pip he was hilarious it was interesting to finally find out what sawyers element and power are and to find out what sawyers guide is I’m looking forward to the conclusion and was glad to meet sawyers other brother especially since there was a lot of cuteness involved in some of his appearances
