About this audiobook

Only beloved author Christina Dodd could bring you this riveting paranormal tale of duty, family ... and the power of love...

For one magic summer, Genny Valente escapes to spend time as a wildlife observer in the untamed mountains. Little does she know that a beast more fearsome that any beast lurks in the forest...a man, one of the Chosen Ones, betrayed by his gift and tormented by his memories. John Powell has fled his fate and his duty, yet in Genny he sees his one chance for redemption. He will stalk her, kidnap her, love her as only a savage can. But when a new betrayal threatens, John must call on the powers he swore he'd never use again. Then only Genny's love can save him...if she dares tame the one man she can't live without...

    Better than the first book but not as good as the second. The characters are engaging and the plot interesting with some exciting action scenes and a development or two in the overall story arc. Nonetheless, there is something missing.

    It may be the fact that John and Genny are new characters and the familiar group of Chosen Ones only make an appearance about 70% in. However, this ultimately serves to strengthen the romance as it allows the reader the opportunity of getting to know John and Genny as individuals and as a couple before returning to the conflict between the Chosen and the Others.

    John is a great hero, stong and silent. He is very mysterious and powerful, compelling and noble but suffers from some serious trust issues. Genny starts out a naive and trusting innocent who must come to terms with the realities of life in general and her family history in particular. Although they are both likeable and bring out the best in each other (as well as the worst), their chemistry is not at tangible as it could have been, which makes it difficult to completely accept their romance. Moreover, the "all is forgiven and forgotten" ending it too sudden and the love and trust materializes out of nowhere, which is problematic given everything that leads up to it.

    One of the most enjoyable aspects of this series (and the earlier Darkness Chosen books) is the symbolism. While the overall story arc is furthered, it takes a back seat to John and Genny's story, which is disappointing.

    All in all, not a bad addition to the series and I look forward to Samuel and Isabelle's story next.

    The conflict and sexual tension are so bizaar between the hero and heroine that at first I wasn't sure if I should root for them or wait for a dramatic falling out, but Christina Dodd definitely delivered with this book. I wasn't always sure what was happening between the two on a personal level, but the way they stood united was very entertaining to read.

    My overall impression is that it wasn't quite as good as I expected, at least from Christina Dodd. Even though I didn't think it was her best it was still an entertaining read, I especially liked the dynamics between Genny and John. My first issue was with Genny's father. I wanted to know exactly what his story was, even if he was just a secondary character. The fact that I had a problem with that made me laugh because I've noticed I get annoyed most times when the story starts to drag but at the same time, I have this need to know everything about all of the characters. My guess is that I can't decide on anything, like normal : )Then I also wasn't a fan of the second "love interest" if that's what you want to call it. Maybe obsessive, crazy, homicidal maniac is a better description. I couldn't really tell you why this is but when I got to the "revelation" of this love, all I could think was "oh, here we go."Finally, when there is a supposed "death", I started losing interest altogether, and stopped caring about what would happen in the end of the story. I know after reading this, it wouldn't make sense to say that I still enjoyed the book, but when looking at the novel as a whole those three issues aren't that big.
