Length: 9 hrs

Publisher's summary

Will Ludlam is tired of hiding. He doesn’t regret turning his back on his father’s cruel Tribunal legacy, but he never intended to live like this, secreted away with the vampires of Penton in their underground fortress, Omega. Charged with caring for bonded humans fleeing the vampire war, Will longs to join the fight. But first he must earn the trust of the beautiful soldier tasked with keeping Omega safe....

Randa Thomas is one of Penton’s newest lieutenants, a former US Army officer now devoted to the vampire rebellion. She has little patience for Will Ludlam, and can’t understand why the privileged son of one of the vampire elite has the trust of her scathe’s leaders. But as the Tribunal closes in and Omega prepares to make one last stand, Will’s polished charm - and Randa’s guarded heart - finally give way to the warrior within.

same ol same old

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I wouldn't, only because i've read this series an I'dv tell them to start from book 2 Absolution for just a little background

If you’ve listened to books by Susannah Sandlin before, how does this one compare?

I find that each storyline was the same although it flowed together.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

if it wasn't the same ol same old

PENTON WHERE PARANORMAL+HUMANS LIVE HARMONIOUSLY

Well my bags are packed and I'm ready to become a Bonded human in Penton Alabama where the Vampires are hot, needy and ohh sooo Alpha.

This was the conclusion to the series and therefore had several plots and lots of interesting sub plots going on but it was mainly Will's story (boy has he got his hands full) as he tries to come to terms with his past**, destroy his Father, continues to try prove himself worthy to the other residents of Penton and get down and dirty with his team member Randa. It's well written with the old familiar characters as well as surprising new ones, there's intrigue, action, conflict, surprising alliances, there was romance although I didn't find it as romantic as the previous books but it was a playful romance. The Tribunal had the final judgement over the wrongs and rights that were done at Penton.

Although it concluded it did leave certain things wide open either for another book (or two..... or more) or a new spin-off series - here's hoping.

Worth a credit? Come on..... If you've listened to the other 2 books then you've just got to get this, but for $9.79 I decided to buy it and save my credits for more costly books. As this is a conclusion to a series it's not a stand alone listen (so start at the beginning, download all 3 you won't be disappointed).

**A little warning - child abuse was mentioned and his evil tormentor is second in command to Will's Father, however it wasn't graphic or salacious but just part of the plot.

Another great addition to the Penton Vampire story

love this series. From the first book I was hooked and it has only gotten better. In this story the third book of the series, we get to find out more about Will.

Will has been a secondary character up until now. He is a trusted member of the Penton community and has helped to design it and Omega. He has faced many challenges along his way, the main one being his father who is Penton's worst enemy.

We also get to find out more about Will's partner in patrols and his main conflict in the town - Randa. They just cant seem to agree on anything. But are consistently forced to work together. Randa is facing her own problems. She has not fully accepted her new life as a vampire and is just not sure it is what she wants to be. She also still worries about her family and misses her father and brothers. She is determined to not give up though and is trying to work though her issues to adjust.

At the same time the battle with Will's father is still going on. This causes quite a few issues with the Penton vampires and their bonded humans. Without trying to give spoilers from the previous two books I will just say we have a former character come back and a few deaths that do come together, to help take care of this ongoing battle and possibly lead to some new alternative ways for vampires to exist.

I do strongly recommend listening to them all if you like vampire tales. And they all go together perfectly to form a complete story arc about the town. I am hoping there is more to come where we get to learn more about some of the other characters we have met along the way.

Another great addition

Any additional comments?

Another great addition to this series. I noticed a few flaws in Amy McFadden narration this time but she still done a decent job. :)

Omega is Mega Awesome

I really enjoyed the Penton Legacy. I thought all three books were well written and very unique (which is a huge feat for a vampire romance book). The characters feel so real and relatable that you begin to think the Penton scathe actually exists. And I want to be a bonded human!

I highly suggest reading Redemption (book 1) and Absolution (book 2) before picking this one up. You will not be disappointed. However, I think this book could stand on its own as well.

This is suppose to be a trilogy, but it is left open for more books or a spin-off. Here's hoping it's not the last of the Penton series.

Definitely worth a credit, but for under $10 it's a bargain.

To much attitude

While I am enjoying this series the narrator takes from it. The narrator made most of the characters sound like teenagers with bad attitudes. This is not the first book I have noticed this issue with. Going forward I will stay clear of any audiobook with this narrator.

Loved it

I really liked this series. I wish she would make more. The narrator was pretty good to but I liked the one from the first book better.

Another good installment to series

I think this was dubbed as a trilogy, but it's wide open for an ongoing series. I hope there's more installments to come, cause it's a good series, and I've grown accustomed to a few of the characters. This could probably be deemed Will's story, but so much goes on with other characters, that it was only a portion of the ongoing battle with Mathias. We were introduced to a few new interesting people whose stories I'm sure will become integrated into the next of the series. If you like vampire tales, with vampire politics and romance, then this book will interest you. It's definately an ongoing story, so start with "Redemption". I like this narrator that has done these last two books. She seems to do different voices well, with Merrin being my favorite.

Something’s Missing

Not my favorite so far but definitely enough of a good story line to keep me ready for the next installment.

sorry, I could not get thru the narrator

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

people who read not listen.

What could Susannah Sandlin have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

different narrator

How could the performance have been better?

better voices, take her time seemed rushed

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Don't know , could not get past first chapter
