Publisher's summary

Whispers, rumors, and horror stories abound about The Barrens and the strange creatures that lurk within them. Determined to find the remaining vampires that stood against his father in the war, Braith knows that it’s dangerous to enter the inhospitable land, but that they must if they are to have a chance at gaining allies to help overthrow the king.

Though he once knew the powerful vampires that are rumored to reside within The Barrens, he is unsure what to expect if they succeed in finding them. He will do whatever is necessary, though, to ensure a future for himself and Aria. Aria is fearful of entering into the land she’s heard nothing but cautionary tales about, but she’s determined to help Braith locate the vampires that may help them with their cause. She is fascinated and amazed by the world they uncover within, one that is unlike anything she has ever seen before.

However, the more immersed they become in a world that she doesn’t entirely understand, the more she realizes that it won’t be the war, or even the king that will eventually tear her and Braith apart. It will be her.

Wowed. Stunned. My heart..

This is the third book and it has fully captured me. It’s the book that convinced me to keep going. It’s not that I didn’t like the books up to this point or anything but my attention could have easily started up to this point.

They love they have! The pain they have to go through “for the greater good”.. heart breaking. I have hope for them yet! Too many that wish them to fail and I just know they are a true love that will prevail! I especially like this take on vampirism.

Anyone saying they don’t like this book or series has to remember, in 2022 it’s easy to get caught up or use to a fast burning love/book. This is a slow burn. They work up to it. It’s not at all disappointing or anything else, it’s just different. But I’m entertain.. I think instead of remember this is paranormal fiction, readers keep wanting to compare it to “how believable” is this, and that’s just annoying.

Great story!

The continuing story is a great one but it would be so much better with a male and female narrator!

I enjoy this author

Having listened to the 2 previous books, I was hoping Aria would mature or “learn” regarding her attitude and safety. She’s an impulsive spoiled brat putting everyone else in danger.
I’m really hoping the next book is less about her obstinate nature and more about their relationship growing. It’s getting hard to listen to her constant arrogance.

suspenseful

I hate the fact that aria never listen when it comes to her safety. now she's caught be the king and the wrong prince.

Great Story!!

I'm into this series, great story, love all the different characters, especially Aria!! Can't wait to go on to next book to see what happens!

Loved it!

Book 3 did not disappoint! Love this series and can’t wait to hear what happens in book 4.

Refugee

Would you listen to Refugee again? Why?

I would absolutely listen to Refugee again as well as the other audiobooks in the series. I loved them. The story, the characters, the voice, everything was perfect for me.

What other book might you compare Refugee to and why?

There is no other book I can compare Refugee to because this series is absolutely no other series out there like this one. I have never read or listened to another audiobook like this series and that's what makes it so enjoyable.

Which scene was your favorite?

I have a lot of favorite scenes within this series. I enjoyed the scene when Braith was fighting and Ari was in the house and he burst in the door ready to tear into Ashby. I enjoyed the scenes between Ari & her brother William, and the walk Ari and Braith took in the woods.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The great thing about audiobooks are that they can be listened to while you do housework and while you're on the go. I wasn't sitting but I listened to it all the way through and I'm ready for the next book in the series.

Great summer read.

Great summer vampire read that keeps you on your toes. Just wish the series was part of audible included reads.

Loved this series

Great book great reader read the entire series. The love story is so good. Can’t wait for next book

Loved it

It’s like wow in the world they live in and the world the author has created. The struggles they go to unite the rebellions and and outcasts of vampires that were not in the kings domain. I recommend the series and I really enjoy reading along as well.
