About this listen

Hunted, confused, pissed off…this is one quarry you don’t want to back into a corner.

Steve and Ingrid have escaped the clutches of Athena, but Steve is still learning, both about his place in the world, and his capabilities...not to mention those of the creatures that surround him.

Ingrid, too, must find her way in the new reality she finds her world has become, and the pair need a plan.

Fortunately, Ingrid’s a lot brighter than Steve, and she’s had plenty of time to plan, to observe, and to build up a festering hatred of her "betters".

Steve’s going recruiting—and harvesting. Greece is in for a hell of a surprise, and for the criminal element out there? It’ll be a fatal one…

As always it’s AMAZING!

This man, no legend, always writes pure epic level gold and everyone he needs to go and drop some credits on this series and every other one he’s got out!

It really grips and even demands your attention!

Typically, my wife isn't interested in things like this... Even though she's a nerd herself, she says things like this are too much, but even she was glued to this book! She made me buy the entire series! We love the humor and personality of the characters, as well as the story itself. It's very captivating and engaging. Love it!

Ingrid is a failed character

Ok, so I’m nearing the end of the book and it is getting harder and harder to like Ingrid as a character. She has so many character breaking moments in this book that it makes it hard to get through chapters with her in it. One moment she never wants to go through pain like she experienced in the early chapter again even if she dies to choosing to go the more painful route if they ever found that specific way to make her immortal. She shows zero concern with the MC being out in the middle of nowhere with an ancient creature designed and desperate to have sex with males. She also says that if the MC doesn’t let her choose to put both herself and others in danger and make a situation ten times more difficult, due to needing to protect them, then the MC is treating her like a pet. Then the next chapters treating the MC like a misbehaving dog in front of family and then a crowd of strangers. She wants to be his partner yet ignores both his opinions and concerns, which is ironically what she is worried about him doing to her. It’s to the point that I kind of hope that she dies for MC character development.

MC is ok. I think I liked him better in the first book due to the slow character development of the dark brute to the anti-hero. Now he is a weird anti-hero who is confused unsure of what he is.

Their does seem to be a lot of the Author trying to make a political statement rather than tell a story and while the environmental stuff I can get behind I really didn’t come here for the statement. The weird ideas on partnership is off though.

Narration - Narrators did a great job. I loved both the variations of the male and female voices.

Wow! What a wild ride!

This is the second book I just finished in the series and I couldn't stop. Action, drama, romance, humor, myth, tech and things that go boom! I love the every expanding story, the amazing characters and as soon as you take a breath the pacing sending over a cliff again. I found myself shouting I know someone just like that character!
