Length: 9 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

Savage. Reckless. Wild. These are only some of the words used to describe me. I'm all of those things, and I never wished to be anything else in almost 500 years of existence.

Then she came along. Aurora Leal, the daughter of the High Witch and destined for that role. She's practically royalty in the magical world, but most importantly, she's forbidden fruit.

I was taught never to mess with witches, and I had no intention of breaking that rule until the night she crashed into my life. I couldn't resist the pull, and like an idiot, I succumbed to her charms.

Now I'm screwed. What was supposed to be only a hookup left a permanent mark. I ended up mated to the sassy witch. An eternal commitment wasn't something I ever wished for, but when your destined mate is promised to someone else, that's a much bigger problem.

I only have two choices. Either I find a way to break the mating bond or Aurora will become a widow before she says I do. That will definitely start a war between vampires and mages. But the more time I spend with her, the less inclined I am to give her up.

Damn, I guess I'm killing some mages, then.

Contains mature themes.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL VAMPIRE SERIES

I enjoyed the first book so much that it was easy to immediately buy the second. What I really liked was the characters remain constant throughout the series even though the main character couples change usually I prefer sticking to the same MC throughout the series with growth on the other characters this was extremely full of interesting and had so much to offer that you fall right back into it. It isn't one of my all times in this case but it was good enough to listen to and continue purchasing the future possible books in this series

Humorous and entertaining

I enjoyed this book even more than the first in the series. I really like when the characters have personalities and charm. Will most definitely continue with the rest of the series.

I want more Aurora and Saxon!

I loved this couple. This book was great, I couldn’t stop listening. I hope there is much more to their story. Characters are relatable. The narrators are fantastic.

Very Suspenseful

this book was really good actually enjoyed it I only wish that they had different people as narrators

no volume

thank you for being no audio voice I hide and tried and tried to follow the voice I can't. this story was awesome so awesome that I'm putting it in my permanent library and we'll listen again

Gets better! ❤

Loved this! Takes place just before book 1, during, and after book 1's ending. Just as hot and full of tension, but more swooney. I swear Aurora and Saxon are my fave couple so far, they get put through the ringer and omg Aurora's mother is a b*tch!
Best line in this, not because it's witty or clever, but purely because it's Troy saying it is "I jizzed in my pants." 🤣 (que Lonely Island).
Book 3 needs to be an audiobook yesterday! 😭

Love all her books

This woman can write and her books always keep you stuck, the books are always sexy but never over the top of too much

I love this series!

This story was either just as good as, possibly better than the first. Sooo good. I can't wait for more!

Narration Type: Dual Narration

Like Dark Prince, the book is told in dual points of view via dual narration. Troy Duran and Mindy Kennedy do the narration and both do a great job of it. Troy Duran is so great, with a deep and sexy voice. Mindy Kennedy is also very good and has a voice that sounds age appropriate for Aurora.

This book was a good one, like the first in the series. The heroine Aurora was from the previous book, she was a witch attending the Bloodstone Institute in preparation for someday taking over for her mother who is the high witch. She was the one who knew from the start that Vivienne was not vampire but a human who had taken a magic potion to disguise herself as a vampire in order to steal a necklace from Lucca the Blueblood prince. Aurora helped get Vivi food to eat.

In this book Aurora is angry about her arranged Marriage to Calvin who is a mage from a respected and powerful mage family. She can’t get out of the marriage, and on the day she finds out about the engagement she rebels by going to a vampire club and going home with hot Blueblood vampire Saxton. During their one night stand, Saxton drinks Aurora’s blood and discovers later that they are mated.

Witches and Vampires are not supposed to be together and Saxton doesn’t want to do anything that would put his King in a bad light against the witches so he tries to find a way to break the mating bond before it takes over enough to force him to kill Aurora’s fiancée. He struggles and ends up telling Aurora so that she can help try to find a spell to break the bond.

There are quite a few different storylines in this book and some are pretty complex, which which is one reason it is difficult to remember some of the things from book to book. Since a lot of the storylines are part of the ongoing series plots, and only have to do with the main romance in a peripheral manor. One storyline is regarding Rikkon who is the the brother of Vivi and will be the Hero in the next book.

Vivi and Rikkon are Nightingale royalty. The Nightingales are the supernatural species that created vampires and when they left to a different realm called Ellnsari, a lot of detrimental things happened to the vampires. Such as first generation vampires going slowly crazy and second generation vampires needing to hibernate. Vivi and and Rikkon were exiled by their mother the Queen of the Nightingales from the Ellnsari back to earth without their powers so they have to hide and pretend to be regular vampires.

Rikkon also seems to be interested in Aurora’s sister Miranda and vice versa. Though Aurora tells Miranda to forget about him since he used to be a drug addict and Aurora knows he is a Nightingale who was mated back in Ellnsari just as he was exiled. Rikkon took a potion to remove his memories because the mate bond was causing him pain but now he wants his memories returned. Also it is found out in this book that the reason he was a drug addict was because he has visions and gets terrible pain with the visions and the drugs were the only thing that kept the visions at bay. It is unknown if he still has some of his powers since he gets visions.

Another storyline is that of the King Raphael. He is trying to keep peace but there are supporters of Tatiana for the thrown including Jacques and his followers who keep throwing wrenches in the mix by doing things in order to try to get more supernaturals on their side and away from King Raphael. Also, Tatiana is affected by the madness that is striking first generation Bluebloods and King Raphael is not yet. So that is another part of the storyline. As I said, some of these are a bit complex and will want to be remembered from book to book.

The romance between Aurora and Saxon is both hot and sweet. Since they are mates, they have a deep and true love which includes protectiveness and a bond in which they can feel each other. I like the thought of that kind of love. Of course the story and conflicts take precedence over a lot of the book so there are not an overwhelming amount of intimate scenes. There is still some steam in this book.
