Night Unbound

Immortal Guardians, Book 5

By: Dianne Duvall

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

Length: 13 hrs and 17 mins

Publisher's summary

For centuries, Lisette d'Alençon has been a warrior against the dark. She fights alongside her brothers and comrades. But when the dreams start coming, she can't bear to confess them to the Immortal Guardians' command. She dreams of a dark-haired man with soft eyes and brutal wounds, a man her heart aches for - and a man she knows has been declared a traitor.

Zach is an exile, a loner. He won't defend himself against false accusations or grovel to those who should have faith in him. But he'll damn sure defend the woman who kept him sane against a plague of supervamps that seems to have appeared from nowhere. The Guardians will blame him, and that will make Lisette suspect, too. With life, death, and eternity on the line, who can they really trust?

Love this series

I really enjoy this series. I get the impression that this is one big family that makes mistakes and keeps on going.

This is one of my favorites in this great series.

I really enjoyed the overall story and getting to know Seth more intimately as well as our main romantic couple. There was a lot of great build up for the stories to come and an abundance of steamy scenes. Two thumbs up

Riveting story. hard to stop

Some of the wording was repetitive especially in the sexual encounters but. loved the erotic parts anyway

Left Me Grinning

This is my favorite of the series thus far. We get more insight into Seth as well the continuing mystery and the newest romance.

Excellent narration adds even more to this series.

Loved the Romance!

First Thought when Finished: I loved Lisette and Zach in Night Unbound by Dianne Duvall!

Story Thoughts: Going to admit that I love the romance part of Night Unbound. It was refreshing that words like love and support were early (for romance) to raise their hand in this story. It made me fall in love with the romance more than I expected too. As for the forwarding of the overall arc of the series. I felt this was a bit of filler novel but important filler. A lot happened but we only moved forward a bit. That being said, at no point was I bored during listening to the story. It was well worth the time.

Character Thoughts: Second admission: I liked Lisette in the previous books but I wasn't sure I could handle her as the lead in a full-length novel. I was wrong. In fact, it was a little frustrating when the story wasn't about her and Zach. I loved them together. Zach has always been swoon-worthy to me. He is one of those broken but healing characters I love to love. However, falling in love with them as a couple stunned but pleased me.

Not writing spoilers but why you can't skip this: Two very important pieces of information come out during this book. Also if we don't find a way to save Cliff I am going to cry (that isn't a spoiler as he is infected but I say this every book since Bastian).

Audio Thoughts:

Narrated By Kirsten Potter / Length: 13 hrs and 21 mins


This is a series that I will only listen to on audio. Kirsten + Dianne = great author/narrator pairing. Kirsten outdid herself this time--her numerous accents were dead on!

Final Thoughts:Now counting down to the next one!

One word..... ZACH!!!!

Any additional comments?

REVIEW:
It feels like I have been away from the Immortal Guardian world for way too long. When Ms. Duvall announced that Night Unbound was going to be Zach’s book I was over the moon. I just love this Immortal with wings!! And that Lisette was going to be his lady love. Super excited.
Night Unbound did not disappoint me. Zach & Lisette are so perfect for each other. I love that Zach is always wanting to try something :) (you will have to read to understand). I am so glad that Zach got his own book. He really need to be excepted and find love after so many years of nothing.

There were so many heartbreaking tissue grabbing and happy joyful scenes in this book. Just a few that stood out were:
1) The scene with Cliff were heartbreaking I hope that they find a way to help him.
2) The scene with Amy: Oh gosh, poor Amy. Poor Marcus. Many tears
3) The scene with Aidan broke my heart.
4) Every scene with Zach & Lisette
I just loved this book. And as always I had the wonderful Kristin Potter read to me yet again. I just love how she is able to bring the characters to life for me. Kristin is so very talented at voices that it is really easy to tell who is who even before she reads who is speaking. I am very much looking forward to the next installment of the Immortal Guardian series.
Disclaimer:
I received a complimentary copy of the book Tantor Media in exchange for an honest review. This review is my own opinion and not a paid review.

Wonderful and highly recommended read!

If you could sum up Night Unbound in three words, what would they be?

All About Love.

What other book might you compare Night Unbound to and why?

This is the first series I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to about vampires, gifted ones, and the others.

Which scene was your favorite?

Well, besides the romantic scenes which are very well written, edgy, and quite funny at times...When Lissette came to Zach's aid even when it meant going against Seth and risking his wrath. Very much like a real family...

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Seth and all the other IG's took a stand against "Jared" (one of the others) that made Zach feel special and greatly loved and accepted. One can actually envision his open jaw expression and feel what he was feeling.

Any additional comments?

I would like for Ms. Duvall to write additional books in this series which tell the story of Seth and David and when they finally find love; Amy's baby (Adera's) story. The characters in these books are so vivid and lovable-you just wish for happy endings all around.

Another fantastic hit

Another fantastic hit by Duvall. Can't wait for the next one Lover the way Duvall makes you love all of her characters

Great book series

I totally love this series. Hard to stop listening. And the narrator is great as well

GREAT READ!!

Loved it! This is my second time reading the whole Immortal Guardians series. Kirsten Potter does an amazing job narrating.
