Publisher's summary
"Underworld, True Blood and Blade, anyone?"
Experience an unputdownable journey through a riveting collaboration between two titans of dark fantasy. In this full-length novel, New York Times, USA TODAY, and #1 Dark Fantasy bestsellers merge their styles to craft a tale of dark paranormal romance and dystopian grit that will ensnare readers from start to finish.
Follow Narah Adrienne, a bounty enforcer navigating the seedy underbelly of a near-future world, as she captures criminals deemed too dangerous for local law enforcement. As Narah teeters on the edge of exceeding her quarterly kill quota, she becomes a target of the Magistrate, her choices weighing heavily on her mind.
Meanwhile, Aeslin, an elite vampire Turner, discovers Narah—a woman with enough undead blood to transform into a full vampire. However, Narah's true identity is revealed when her bounty target turns out to be a Hunter assigned to claim a part of her for death.
Caught in a web of conflicting choices, Narah's only hope lies with Matthews, a man who isn't entirely human. As Narah navigates the mysteries of Hunter leadership and the dangerous agendas of those around her, she becomes a pawn in a complex game of opposing forces. With stakes rising and danger closing in, Narah must confront her past and embrace the unimaginable possibilities offered by her ties to Aeslin and Matthews.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Dakota is wealthy, famous and adored hunter. She is also lonely, driven and tortured by memories of the people she wasn’t able to save. Hunting as a profession slowly evolved from the concept of private investigators as the needs of the citizenry outstripped the capacity of public law enforcement's ability to solve crimes. Over the last ten years tremendous increases in crimes related to the manufacture and sell of designer drugs brought every major law enforcement agency to its knees.

The story itself is really good and catching
So I loved the book and storyline, but the narration is just painful. I thought I could give this a chance since I have used alexa to read books to me in the past but it did not work for me.
The story itself is interesting though. I find it fairly original and the world built within is easy to visualize.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
