Publisher's summary

Book 8 in the New Species series.

Dr. Allison Baker is obsessed with saving the comatose New Species male. She has tried everything and there’s only one option left. Alli will break every rule and put her life in danger by tempting 880 to wake, using only her feminine scent and touch. She just has to kidnap him and crawl into bed with him to make it work.

880 wakes in a different world with a small female who’s been sleeping beside him, caressing him, and wrapping her sweet body around his, teasing his senses. He lies silent and still, listening and evaluating each arousing touch, fighting his body’s reaction. Hatred flares when he discovers she’s human, but Mercile stole everything from him so he decides it’s fair to take her in return.

But things quickly change and he wants her at his side and in his bed. 880 has chosen a new name – Obsidian - the personification of dark and dangerous. He’ll fight them all to keep Alli. No one will stand in his way.

Awesome

What made the experience of listening to Obsidian the most enjoyable?

This is a most exciting, sexy listen!

What does Vanessa Chambers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Vanessa's ability to portray the voices so realistically made this listen come fully to life. I could 'see and feel' everything she described.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I absolutely wanted to listen all in one sitting and I did just that.

Okay that was pretty good!

Finally, a book that was totally original, which is saying something since it is book 8 in a series.

Dr. Ally loves New Species and would do anything to protect them, but when one of her patients isn't recovering she takes matter into her own hands to heal him.

I was a bit bummed about the separation, but overall I think it was handled well and the characters got me emotionally invested in this world yet again!

just a good book

just liked this one alot not sure why I listen to this one most out of all of them but I love this one the most

Parting is such sweet sorrow.....

Parting is such sweet sorrow, will you take that risk and see me tomorrow? This book kept me on edge and guessing for the next move, the danger, the love that you hoped would last and the understanding and happiness when one finds where they belong.

My least favorite of them all but still good.

Narrator does all the audiobooks in this series. Very talented and she does so many different voices. Love her. Obsidian is my least favorite of the entire New Species series. I found it a little silly and corny. Not as interesting and none of the expected funny jokes and lighter moods. It is hard to get through BUT still a great book. The other books in this series are fantastic!

Great action! Sad story but, same story Premise.

Emotional and appropriate inter action STARVED species INMATE in a coma. A female (anglo/ long hair) Doctor figured that he could "scent" another female to inspire him to wake. This story will keep you listening but SEX does NOT fix everything. Even GREAT sex. This story was uncomfortable for ME at times but, I will still listened. I will continue to read/buy the rest of the series stories about New Species following in love/lust with human female (pale/ anglo) with long hair & the great sex the new species males provide along with environmental conflicts that they have to survive. The reader does a great job, again.

Sadness

This is my least favorite of the species series. While I can hardly wait for other books are put on audible I am disappointed in this book. It seem to be a sex scene after another lacking in an actual story

Enjoyed

What did you love best about Obsidian?

The characters

Would you be willing to try another book from Laurann Dohner? Why or why not?

Of course

Which character – as performed by Vanessa Chambers – was your favorite?

not sure

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I guess

Any additional comments?

I wasn't a big fan of the reprimand of Ally - in past books things have been overlooked because it was the leaders feeling them - but because Obsidian wasn't a leader he didn't have the same rights to behaviour - that was annoying.

Instead of “Sleeping Beauty”, it’s a “Sleeping Hunk”

A very unique storyline, filled with love and tears. Such a hot sex life, OMG. Great characters, writing & narration. Don’t miss a terrific book.

Back Together

This was not the easiest book to listen to. Obsidian drove me crazy he was such an alpha. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but he really was feral to the max. I didn’t see the Doc’s fascination at all! Lol. I do enjoy this series though.
