About this listen

An old nemesis is out for blood....

Parker Ferro’s life would be easier if his enemies stayed gone. When the man responsible for the death of Parker’s mother breaks out of prison, Parker finds himself in the crosshairs of the Bureau of Paranormal Threats when he tracks the criminal down.

With succubae going missing, an old god on the loose, and his boyfriend’s mother in town, the last thing Parker has time for is human politics. But with a marriage proposal that he can’t quite figure out and mysteries that keep landing him in hot water with the feds, Parker must keep one step ahead or end up in handcuffs himself.

The Heart's Blood Arrow is a 130,000-word MM urban fantasy with an HFN ending and an ongoing storyline. It cannot be listened to as a stand-alone.

Parker, Nick and the gang are back!

Narration: This is easily my new favorite Greg Tremblay narration. He did an incredible job. He is the perfect for Parker and his comedic timing and deadpan delivery was especially excellent. Not to mention how much emotion he has in his voice/performance. I read this book prior it to listening to it and the audio was an even better experience. I highly recommend the audio for this series!

Story: This series must be read in order, so this review will contain spoilers for the previous books.

I am in love with this series. The ending of the previous book was a bit of a cliffhanger, so I was nervous going into this book, but Kai didn’t let me down. We have seen incredible character growth from Parker with each book and in this one he finally starts to fight for what he wants. I think the readers are more shocked than Parker by how deeply he loves Nick. Nick has been the rock of their relationship since book 1, but things flip in this book as Nick is forced to deal with family dynamics he’s been avoiding. Things are messy and painful and unexpected. It actually hurt to learn exactly what Nick grew up with and the immense pressure from his family, as well as see how he continues to be treated. But where Nick’s family is a source of pain, Nick and Parker have built a beautiful found family with Parker’s sister Laurel, Sugar, and their not-a-cat Runt. There are some really beautiful scenes between Parker and Nick, but I think the found family moments were the ones that made me tear up!

The overarching plot continues from the previous books and is super interesting. As usual, the pacing is perfection and Kai expertly weaves in a side plot about missing succubi - some of whom are friends of Sugar. It’s no surprise that the way everything ties together is really great. I don’t want to get into details because of spoilers. Just know that this book is just as good as the others, if not better! I’m looking forward to the audiobook’s release so I can “re-read” it!

All I’ve ever wanted is a well-written fantasy series with gay main characters and a solid relationship. Who knew I’d actually get to read exactly that one day, and one that exceeds my expectations? We’re 5 books into this series and it only gets better and better! This is easily one of my favorite series ever. If you even remotely like fantasy then you have to check this series out.

Best one yet!

I love the progression of Parker and Nick's relationship. I also enjoyed Nick's mom added to the mix.
This one was more suspenseful and couldn't wait to have time to listen. I also think the Brownies are funny as hell, especially rough and tumble Purple. I wish not a cat had a bigger part.

Loved it, but….

I absolutely love this series for the relationship between Nick and Parker and also for the magic. However, Parker should be more powerful by book number five. He can’t do anything that the other fae can do. He even has powerful weapons at his disposal that he never uses. Even Nick’s skills seem to have been nerfed in this book. I’m starting to get Harry Potter vibes. The main character has powerful enemies after him in EVERY book, but instead of practicing his craft, he defeats his enemies by coercing OTHERS to help him…or by breaking out in song in the middle of a battle?!? This storyline was acceptable in book one, but it’s ridiculous by book five. Hopefully, we’ll see a more skilled Parker (and Nick) in the next book. Otherwise, I’m not sure I’ll continue with this series.

Perhaps the best one yet in this series

The author brings together all the characters we know from books one through four in this fantastic, epic. The graphic intimacy is still unnecessary, but less key to the story. The performance is absolutely outstanding. Can’t wait for the next book.

Love love love

I adore this series! It was even better the second time in audio! Parker is such a complex and flawed character but he has a heart of gold - even if he denies it. I cried during this book but the ending was so worth it!

Loving it!

Another great add to the series and I love Tremblay's voice! Things are heating up for Parker, just when I think I know what's going to happen next am suprised. With such intense scenes you need the right tone and flow to grab you and both Kai and Greg deliver!
