About this listen
Born in battle, my birth brought peace. But peace is boring, and so is the warlock to whom I’m betrothed.
Real name: Aria Emanuele
Code name: The Sapphire Scythe
Supe status: first vampire/succubus hybrid. Heir to the Aeternae clan.
Military status: Top spy and assassin for the Universal Army.
I’ve been running from my duties as the heir to the supe kingdom to marry Cade, my intended, and create more hybrid children for centuries. I’ve been playing soldier, spy, assassin, or whatever takes me close to the action instead. My parents and my people think I just need time to sow my royal oats, but I love this too much to give it up.
Humans have brought themselves to World War Three. My mission in the Universal Army is to get close to the dictator who caused it. I already suspect he’s got a supe close to him, but I’m keeping it to myself for now. I want to do this myself. I had a mark close to Zimin, the dictator. My mission was simple. Extract information, then kill him. Something went horribly wrong that night. I wake up in a hotel room with a Lycan, a vamp, and a warlock. All trained assassins like me. Seems my dear parents sent them here.
There’s also a little catch in there. According to the men in my hotel, nature has given me three mates instead of one. Nature and my parents expect me to pick. Nature has a sick sense of humor and seems to know my horrible taste in men. There’s Ronric, the huge Irish Lycan, Rainer, the dark Egyptian Warlock, and Kalon, the swarthy Bulgarian vampire. I had a lot of fun in all three countries before swearing off men from any of those places and refusing to go back.
Now, I’ve got three beautiful men in front of me with all the qualities I want in a man, and I have no idea how I’m supposed to pick.

Hades kidnapped me. Yeah, that Hades. Greek mythology is real, and I’m learning the gods are real dicks. I’m tasked with caring for the monsters in the Underworld. Oh, yeah, Demeter is pissed about the whole Persephone thing. She’s kidnapped her daughter and making the monsters fight for sport. Persephone is quite happy in the Underworld according to Hades pet dog...who has three heads and is kind of a goof. I’ve met a Kraken, a minotaur, a phoenix, and a black widow spider. I’ve also met Hephaestus, the God of the Forge, who has been abused by his family.

After my plane was sabotaged and crashed into the jungle, I rescued five male survivors from the wreckage. I could have let them die, but no, I decided to pull their stupid carcasses from the wreckage. I’m immortal, not a monster. Yes, they’re hot; now is not the time to do something about that. The five sexy jaguar-shifters are on a mission to locate someone, a rare phoenix-shifter. Phoenix, the legendary creature, reborn every time it dies. Wait…could they be looking for me? It doesn’t matter since they walked away and left me to die in the Amazon rainforest.

Story
Six years ago, I awoke in a cage with no knowledge of who I was or where I’d come from. Six years ago, I was spared the flesh markets and instead thrown in with a group of savages, where I learned it was fight or die. Now, eight Orders of Assassins are converging on the only home I’ve ever known. All in hopes of purchasing new blade slaves for their ranks. I’m for sale, yet all I want is a life far from death and ownership. Then I meet them, the Order of Scorpions. Their allure is a threat to the freedom I crave, but I won’t fall victim to their sting, no matter how tempting it might be.

Story
When my parents were murdered in cold blood, life became a shock in more ways than one. Obviously, my parents were sheltering me, and for good reason. Not only am I a dragoness, but there’s also a slightly insane-sounding prophecy. Something powerful has been asleep inside of me, lurking in the shadows. My spine is tingling, how about yours? I’m supposed to save the world. But first, I have a score to settle. Oh, and to fulfill the prophecy, I’m supposed to take on a mate. Or…more accurately, mates. As in, more than one. My inner beast is super-excited about it.

Growing up in Emerald Lakes, I thought I had life figured out—running my own magic shop, practicing my green witchcraft, and dodging the occasional drama (looking at you, Gran). But when four impossibly sexy mages move into the apartment above my shop, my once-quiet life takes a chaotic turn. Their arrival awakens something in me—raw, unstable magic that defies everything I thought I knew. Suddenly, I’m entangled in secrets, cryptic prophecies, and a connection to a demon who’s as dangerous as he is alluring.

However, where I lack in magic I more than make up for with the tech I develop, if I do say so myself. Apparently I'm not the only one. From the minute I received my diploma as a magical engineer, it seems like my world has turned upside down. Now, members of all six families are competing to get me to work for them.

I never told anyone about that night. I shoved the shattered pieces of my soul into a locked box and pretended I'd never met Kian. But when a witch whispers a dire warning in my ear one day, everything changes. Because I don’t just have one mate. I have three. Feral shifters, she calls them. Wild, untamed, and fueled by darkness, created by a magic no one has ever seen before.

All I wanted was to find answers to who I was. No one knew who had abandoned the gray-eyed baby with fiery red hair and a cry loud enough to make a man's nuts retract. I moved to Arbor Falls to find myself. Little did I know I'd be thrown into a world I didn't know existed. A world with wolves at each other's throats and enough pack politics and danger to make my head spin. Then there's the fact that I have more than one mate. Not all of them accept me because there's one gigantic problem: I'm not what they expected.

Until one evening, when three eerily gorgeous men rescue me. They offer a safe haven under their protection with everything I need to heal. I'm not used to this kindness—or the desires their smoldering eyes and strong hands stir in my body and my heart. But these fearsome men aren't really men. Like my former captors, they're fae who can shift into wolves. A curse gripping the faerie realm turns them wild under the full moon.

Worth the listen
I enjoy a strong FMC who can hold her own and Aria did not disappoint. The story was good and kept me guessing a few times. The main thing about this book was the matings and markings for me! I'm just going to leave a few Kew words in regards to the steamy sexy times... Jealousy, Alphas, Pleasure, Marking, Biting, Bonding and the all important learning to share.

it's alright
I like the supernatural thing and the reverse harem aspect but there wasn't a lot of action OR romance going on but the thing that killed it for me was the Narrator! she was so slow and monotone, it was so frustrating! She just sounded like she was on Xanax or something because she was just speaking so slowly and with almost no emotion, like she was tired or just couldn't care less no matter what she was supposed to be feeling in the story. it was super annoying. like she was supposed to be angry or furious but her voice would never change or even speed up. I usually try to read along in Kindle when I can but with this story I would read a whole page before she even finished one paragraph and it just got so frustrating. like I get emotional when reading a story and feel what the character is feeling so when she's reading about her yelling and being furious but her voice hasn't changed At All, ugh! and when she was reading dialog between 2 or more characters it got really confusing because you couldn't tell when one person's speech ended and the other began. almost as bad as digital voice, man.

Had Potential...
Okay/good story, kinda ruined by the narrator. I listened to this whilst multi-tasking, but once I got to Chapter 30, I had to speed it up to finish since there was only 10+ minutes was left. So basically the steamy scenes were boring because of the narrator who had little to no variation with her voices...and it felt like I was listening to a teenager tell me an erotic story. I'm sorry, I just had to laugh through it.

Unusual Storyline
The Sapphire Sythe by JB Trepagnier and narrated by Jennifer Whiskey is the first book in The Order of the Red Shadow series.
We meet Aria, our FMC, who wants nothing more than a man to call her by her given name. You see she's a spy, who also happens to be a hybrid Vampire/Succubus.
Enter the Harem: Ronrik, an wolf, Caellen, a vampire, and Raynor, a warlock. They have been told that they are each her true mate and she has to choose.
I loved the story line and the characters, but the narration left a lot on the table. There were no accents or vocal changes for the characters and I had to really focus to figure out who was talking.
Would I listen to this book again? probably not
Would I recommend this book to others? probably not on audio, but in paperback
