Raven

Xian Warriors, Book 3

By: Regine Abel

Narrated by: Christian Black

Her beautiful mind was her own prison.

After betrayal and abuse destroyed Liena’s dreams of becoming a psychic operator, she warily accepts a temporary position on Khepri, the homeworld of the bioengineered Xian Warriors. With entire warrior units getting mysteriously wiped out, she must help devise a critical antidote. But when a buck-naked, sexy-as-sin Xian Warrior walks into her lab, Liena's bone-deep fear of psychic contact, of touching another’s soul, doesn’t trigger with him.

The minute Raven sees Liena’s aura, he knows he has found the one. She’s broken, but he vows to fix her, and then claim her as his bonded mate. When she inadvertently sets them on the path to discovering, at long last, the human's elusive third psychic ability, the need to mend her becomes urgent. As the strongest of her kind, she may be their only hope of saving an entire species on the verge of annihilation.

With time ticking and so many lives in the balance, will Liena overcome her trauma, or will her mind and the rescue mission descend into madness?

4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Raven" by Regine Abel is part of an intriguing series with strong world-building and enjoyable characters, which holds true for this installment as well. The author's ability to create a captivating universe is evident throughout the book. However, it's worth noting that the handling of Liena's trauma in the story may be a point of concern for some readers. Raven's attempt to "fix" his "broken mate" might come across as insensitive when addressing mental health and trauma. It's important for authors to approach such subjects with care and sensitivity. Despite this issue, the series remains engaging and full of potential. Readers can appreciate the world Abel has crafted, but it's essential to be mindful of the portrayal of mental health and trauma in future books.

Awesome series

In book 3, Raven is all grown up and looking for his own mate. I love to see that he has a strong connection with his parents. It’s great to see a hero having to respond to his mom. I’m not sure if I like this book as much as books one and two but I still highly recommended it and it does continue the story. I did have a little trouble switching back-and-forth between the reality and the dream walking. I especially liked Miss Abel’s dedication where she celebrates our differences. I see that Bane’s story is told in the next book, I hope Audible adds it. As usual, Mr. Black’s narration was great.

Great story

love the sense of family throughout this whole book. Love this series so much! Highly recommend!
