I wholeheartedly enjoyed this story. It offered great, nuanced characters, nice world building, a good plot that wasn’t too contrived, and even a twist I didn’t see coming. And the narrator was wonderful.

This was my first time reading/hearing a book by author Michelle Heard. I really wanted to like this book because I like the ideas of redemption and soul mates. However, the description of the male main character felt completely at odds with what the author seemed to be intending. She made him so unlikable at first that it was impossible for me to get past it. SPOILERS AHEAD: the female main character suffered from PTSD from previous child abuse. The male main character abused her when he first met her (including holding a gun to her head and forced sex), and he felt no guilt about that at all ... UNTIL he discovered she'd been abused by someone else. Then, apparently, abuse was terrible, and the former abuser deserved death. He, however, got a pass, not just from himself, but also the female main character, who forgave all. Also, the male main character was angry to the point of torture and murder when others attacked his wife and sister. Yet he seemed to have conveniently forgotten his prior abuse of his wife; he also excused the kidnapping and (presumed) rape of a 17-year-old child by one of his friends. I really cannot recommend this book to anyone. I'm sorry I finished it, and I won't be reading any more books by this author.

The action scenes are great. And the character growth is fun to read/listen to. Can’t wait for book 3.

I picked this by accident. I’m so glad I did. I don’t really know how to describe it. So I won’t. I’ll just say buy it.

I liked the world building and the characters (for the most part, with the exception of the main bad guy who had no redeeming characteristics, which I find tiresome). Other than that, a good story. I’d like to know what happens next.

I love Ilona Andrews books, and I liked this It tied up all the loose ends. It just lacked the usual spark that I love. Still I don’t regret listening.

Kate Quinn never fails to thrill with her well-researched, exciting characters, locations, and stories. The narrator is wonderful as well. I loved it!

More sex/love story than paranormal mystery

Although I like a good paranormal romance and don't mind sex in books, I thought there was too much romance and sex in what I thought was more of a paranormal mystery/thriller. I thought the world-building was pretty good, and I thought some of the dialogue was funny, but every time I'd get interested in the plot line, there'd be more sex ... usually fairly graphic. P.S. Also, since I'm not gay, it's possible I'm just the wrong audience for this. While I was listening, I was thinking sympathetically to myself of all the years of "straight" romance/sex books that the LGBTQ community read/listened to without other options. So I'M GLAD those options exist now.

While the subject matter is serious (the potential end of sentient life as we know it), the story isn't TOO dark. It's entertaining, interesting, and in the end, hopeful (although there is a small cliffhanger that does not impact the completion of the story but hints at more story to tell). There are many different species with different thoughts and desires. Even at over 18 hours, I was still looking forward to reading/listening to more). The narrator was good and did a good job of distinguishing between each character's voice.

I didn't like the first book in this section of the series (the first three focused on another main character, while the fourth focused on another main character, which is the same in this fifth book). That was a surprise for me because I LOVE Ilona Andrews books. But this book redeemed my misgivings. With a little creative story-telling and additional backstory, I got on board with the new story line. Now I'm looking forward to the next book.
