Shadow's Chosen

Dark World Mates, Book 3

By: Olivia Riley

Narrated by: Felicity Munroe, Mason Lloyd

From their first encounter, she knew he was trouble.

A top operative in her field, Elise was trained since youth to be one of Earth's most elite soldiers. But nothing could prepare her for Tyrminus and the deadly aliens taking over the city. She is given one job: Find the Grayhart team of explorers that have disappeared within the undercity and bring them back alive, a seemingly impossible mission. There is one rule: Stay away from the alien bounty hunters, especially their terrifying and hypnotic leader, Nezka, who has been assigned to hunt down the mysterious criminal overlord now ruling the undercity. As much as Elise would gladly abide by that rule, fate had other plans.

Now, Nezka is her only hope of surviving. Despite how wicked and dangerous he may seem, the ruthless hunter claims he will aid her in the fight to save the others and escape the city. Because protecting her suddenly seems his top priority. But Nezka carries dark secrets, including a separate mission that could destroy the growing bond between them.

Can she trust him? Or will he be her end?

fun world building

interesting storyline if a bit predictable. Unfortunately the heroines tend to be consistently and frustratingly stupid, but it all turns out in the end.

Wow

I think this is one of the best storylines that trines a villain I to a hero, WOW! Narration was fantastic!

Action Packed

I loved that this story was full of action and the building of the story. This is not an instant love story which is refreshing! This story grabbed me from the beginning and kept to me to the end! This story may contain triggers with some of the more intense scenes.

Nezka and Elise

The story started off a little slow but once you hit that 51% mark, it ramps up! This was at another great book In this series.

Grumpy MMC who is suppose to bring humans back to his leader.
Military Solider FMC who gets trapped with him on a mission and is unaware of his alternative mission. Along the way, he teaches her to fight and they have to go on a secret mission of their own. They are forced to behave and do some questionable things to survive and in the end she finds out his betrayal. But the the way it wrapped up was fantastic. I’m so glad I found this series. Narration was superb!

Excellent SciFi Adventure

Just plan fun. The Dark World Mates books are all listed as romances, but they are much heavier on hard sci-fi and horror that most in this genre. I’ve enjoyed them all.
