About this listen
Dale grew up fighting for self-respect and the respect of others. Being a Word Speaker hadn't helped. Most of the Guardians he had sought out were decidedly darker and fighting on what could be seen as the wrong side of the war. When Ciara gives him her gifts to follow her own happy ending, he's forced to see his self-worth and honor her precious gift.
Breena is a dark sprite in charge of sneaking through dreams to steal information in a war between the Seelie and Unseelie court in her world. Finding out she's a book character destined to save the life of a human wasn't her cup of tea - but it was her father's. Commanded to get close the Word Speaker Dale so they could all enter his world, she's forced to leave what she knows behind and corrupt a man on the brink of finding himself.
When passion ignites between Dale and Breena, Dale finds himself seduced by the darkness once more. He's tangled up in a web that threatens to change his stance in the war just before his 27th birthday. When her true intentions come out he will have to choose: between dark and light, and where he stands in the war.

Story
A reject—that’s the best way to describe how I’m treated. All because I’m a hybrid. The monarchs of hell revere pure bloodlines and perfection above all else, and in their eyes, I’m a mutt. Good thing dear old Dad, the Grim Reaper, has never once looked at me as anything other than his favorite child. Well, I’m his only child, but semantics. Suddenly, he has tasked me with the job of going to the council summit in his place. An event that happens once every century to determine which royal house will be voted into the supreme position. A position people would kill for.

Story
I rejected my fated mate, and didn’t regret it for a second. Until now. Shipped off to Ravenscroft University, a graduate school for the supernatural elite, I have a lot to live up to. As heir to America’s most powerful pack, I was locked away. Not to be protected, but because I was born broken. A disappointment. A wolf who couldn’t shift. This is supposed to be my fresh start, but my past won’t leave me alone. Not when he’s here.

Story
All Mina ever wanted was to escape her father's control. Half human, half vampire, she lived eternally torn between two worlds, never fully experiencing the pleasures of either until her father chose her as the pawn in his latest political move, gifting her to the darkly powerful and dangerously seductive Malachi Zion. Malachi is not a vampire to be trifled with. He rules with an iron fist and has a reputation for the darkest of sins. But the longer Mina spends with him, the more she realizes he's not the monster she first thought.

Story
When everything is on the line, how far will you go to protect those you love? What if the cost of saving them is your soul? Would you pay it? I thought I was prepared for what was coming; that if I made sacrifices, I could win this game. I’m no longer afraid of the darkness or the monsters that hide in the shadows. I’ve become what I feared most, allowing it in to protect those I loved. Sometimes it takes a monster to win. Sometimes to fight monsters, you have to become one. My only fear is…can I come back from it?

Theron - Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He's the leader of the Argonauts, an elite group of guardians that defends the immortal realm from threats of the Underworld. From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn't exist in real life - silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her. She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron's duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn't strong enough to resist....

Thousands of years ago, I fell from heaven to love a human woman. I willingly gave up my wings; shunned my place in heaven because she was all I needed. Then I lost everything. Forced to live on inside the body of a vampire, I searched for her, knowing she'd return to me in another life. But I finally gave up hope of finding my love, as so many of my fallen brothers had also done. I went dormant; gave over control to my vampire host, Galen - until Reese woke me, and my search began again. But heaven and hell are on the edge of war, and I'm the only one who can stop it.

Story Concept was Good
I could not finish, could barely start. The Narrator SUCKED bad! She sounded robotic, there was no inflection in her voice. I am going to have to read it if I can find on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. If the quality of the Narrator does not matter to you and you can overlook it, then go ahead, I think you'll like it based on the blurb.

Well worth it.
A job well done by both Lexi and Frankie!! Lexi has kept me hooked from the first book I've read of hers. She is quite the story teller. Frankie knows how to take Lexi's words, and make them come to life.
There were a couple of places that I kinda lost interest in, and I wanted to fast forward through, but if those weren't in there, the story would've been different.
I'll definitely be listening to this again!!
