A USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

An uneasy alliance between warring families gets heated in this otherworldly novella from bestselling author Ilona Andrews.

At first glance, the planet Rada seems like a lush paradise. But the ruling families, all boasting genetically enhanced abilities, are in constant competition for power - and none more so than the Adlers and the Baenas. For generations, the powerful families have pushed and pulled each other in a dance for dominance.

Until a catastrophic betrayal from within changes everything.

Now, deadly, disciplined, and solitary leaders Ramona Adler and Matias Baena must put aside their enmity and work together in secret to prevent sinister forces from exploiting universe-altering technology. Expecting to suffer through their uneasy alliance, Ramona and Matias instead discover that they understand each other as no one in their families can - and that their combined skills may eclipse the risks of their forbidden alliance.

As the two warriors risk their lives to save their families, they must decide whether to resist or embrace the passion simmering between them. For now, the dance between their families continues - but just one misstep could spell the end of them both.

I didn’t feel the relationship with the main characters. It seemed flat. The narrator didn’t help. Maybe a different narrator would have made a difference.

Good plot

I love the Kinsmen world and this story did not disappoint.

One of my favorite things about Ilona Andrews’ books are the fight scenes, and of course, they were beautifully choreographed in this book.

I’ll hope for future stories in the Kinsmen Universe, but I can say without a doubt that I’ll read/listen to anything released by House Andrews.

I also enjoyed very much Aaron Shedlock’s narration.

Highly recommended audiobook!

Loved it!

What an interesting world the Ilona Andrews duo created in the Kinsmen series. Impossible for me to explain without spoilers. Like Earth, consequences for bad behavior can be deadly. Sharp, intelligent story, full of biomedical technology, and betrayal has repercussions.

Stellar.

It has betrayal, secrets and enemies to lovers. What else could you want? A bit of futuristic science fiction....well it's got that too.

good quick read

I am a longtime member of the BDH, so my view of this audiobook is colored by my obsession with House Andrew's every word - including blog snippets, cover reveals, and having read the book on the day of release. While you can definitely enjoy this as a standalone, it's better if you've read the other books in this universe. My only note of displeasure was the pace of narration, but I set it at 95% and then was perfectly content.

another grand adventure
