BloodLust

Rise of the Iliri, Book 1

By: A.H. Hadley

Narrated by: Christina Cato

First a slave, then a conscript, she’s always been at the mercy of monsters. When she’s offered a chance to unsheathe her claws, will death spill out?

Sal Luxx is desperate to prove her kind are more than beasts. Born a second-class citizen in a world ruled by humans, the hardheaded pure-bred iliri has had subservience beaten into her veins. But her waning hope for freedom surges when she is given a pass to the trials for an elite military unit… and unleashes her inner predator.

After Sal’s interaction with her new brothers-in-arms triggers strange mental powers, the knowledge her abusers have kept from her drives a growing rage. Yet even as she struggles to smother her rising berserker instincts, she’s undermined by the irresistible urge to claim a mate.

Will Sal’s untamable nature spawn a rebellion or a massacre?

I can finally multi task while enjoying one of my

when I heard this was being made into audio I was excited yet a tad terrified. there is just so much here,characters,and i completely forgot about the "head voice". however,Christina did an amazing job bringing to life each and every character with a variety of voice, each distinct and fitting for the character.

as for the story,well this is just the beginning of an amazing world that auryn crafted. audio just allows me to be enthralled by the illiri and humans of Ogun while multitasking! I really can't wait for the rest of the books to be made into audio.

received an advanced reviewer copy, but review is my own.

Wonderful!!!

I truly love this series and the narrator was perfect!!!!

I can't wait for the next book.

Good series

Entertaining series, good story arc and interesting world building. Wish that there was the rest of the series available

Waiting for the rest!

I love this series as a book and I love it even more now that the first three are out as audiobooks! I can’t wait until the rest of the series is released as audiobooks.

Loved it, everything about it was wonderful!

I want more of the series on audible please! I love a strong female role and this series, while long was a fantastic world to read.
