Stygian's Honor

A Novel of the Breeds

By: Lora Leigh

Narrated by: Brianna Bronte

Length: 14 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

Window Rock, Arizona, is the last known location of Honor Roberts, who vanished when she was just 13. It was her only sanctuary from the Breed research that would surely have ended in her death - one such insidious experiment should, indeed, have killed her. That she lived is both a miracle - and a great mystery.

Stygian's mission is to find Honor Roberts, no matter the cost. Now, with the help of Liza Johnson, assistant to the chief of the Navajo Nation, he is closer than ever to his goal. But will the discovery of Honor Roberts mean the destruction of the mating heat that has developed between Stygian and Liza?

Critic reviews

"Lora Leigh delivers on all counts." (Romance Reviews Today)

“When it comes to this genre, Lora Leigh is the queen.” (Romance Junkies)

Haven't these poor Breeds suffered enough?

What did you love best about Stygian's Honor?

Jonas Wyatt continues his agonising search for the solution to his adopted daughter's life-threatening condition. Can Stygian's mate provide the answer?

Would you recommend Stygian's Honor to your friends? Why or why not?

This is one of the weaker tales, but a fan of the Breeds series may forgive it's shortcomings.I fear that Lora Leigh is endowing her characters with just too many scenting skills. Envy, determination, frustration? Oh Please! most of us can detect that by looking at someone.

What about Brianna Bronte’s performance did you like?

The reader is consistently good and keeps the story moving along without intruding upon the atmosphere

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

There were a couple of moments when I wished that Stygian could run as fast as possible from the spoilt infant that Fate had provided as a mate. Did she have to talk like a 12 year old? A virgin at 27, well no wonder! Nobody but a saint would take her on.

Any additional comments?

I am a big fan of the Breeds books but this one falls short. It felt as if was written for a much younger reader.

Voice actors

A man should’ve been used to act as the guys in the book. I got goosebumps(the unhappy kind) whenever she’d narrate as the man. But overall, I loved the book!

Breeds Just Got Hotter!

I've been reading the Breeds series since its very beginning but listening to the heat that Leigh brings with her Breeds is hotter than hot. Breeds on audio book is so, so good.

Awesome storyline!

I got so many tidbits of info from this book that put all the pieces together l!

14HRS of the same drivel

What would have made Stygian's Honor better?

It would have been better if the book was shorter. I felt like I was listening to the same chapter over and over.

What could Lora Leigh have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The book could have been much shorter. I guess the plot after the first chapter

What didn’t you like about Brianna Bronte’s performance?

I didn't enjoy the book so it made listening to her performance unpleasant

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Stygian's Honor?

I would have cut half the book

Any additional comments?

I don't recoment this one. The book was too long and the heroine unpleasant

Over Sexed

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Shorten reduce the number of sex scenes and shorten them. One of the things that was interesting about this breeds series was how Lora integrated the steamy sex scenes with an interesting story about the breed. But this story was so drawn out that there is actually no punch to the story at all.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Looking for another strong paranormal romance. Something like JR Wards BDB, Laura Adrains Breeds, Larissa Ione's Horsemens or even Laura Wrights Eternal series.

What aspect of Brianna Bronte’s performance would you have changed?

Nothing really she has a knack for Lora's stories

Did Stygian's Honor inspire you to do anything?

No I am just hoping Lora will tighten up her writing. Harmony's Way, Lion's Heart or Dawn's Awakening are better stories.

Any additional comments?

For the most part I would recommend skipping this one in the series

Zzz

Just more of the same in this series but in this book there is more sex than any plot and even then it ends without saying what happens to the heroine. What's with that? Especially since each book has its own heroine. Maybe I'm just tired of women being portrayed as subservient. Not sure that I will buy any more of this series.

I really don't care for the narrator's male voice it makes all of the men sound like idiots or just plain weird. She's good for the rest of the reading but her men's voices are just plain distracting.

TIME FOR A CHANGE

Would you try another book from Lora Leigh and/or Brianna Bronte?

Yes

Has Stygian's Honor turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

She has a grasp for different accents. I dislike the misprouncements (machinations). I also dislike the fact that the main characters for each book sounds the same. Tanner should sound like Tanner and Stygian should have his own voice. And Scheme and Honor should not sound alike either. I think that the story lines could be served better if a different person performed them. I don't know use a different person for each book?

What character would you cut from Stygian's Honor?

There are no characters I would cut.

Any additional comments?

It is the same story, just different characters. It is time for a different formula, format or whatever she uses. Also, the story is not always kept straight. In one book Brimm was going to be the assistant director, now Lawe? What happened? I aslo don't like the fact that original characters disappear. Where is Dr. Martin? I wish that more consideration is given to the story lines instead of the sex scenes, which are the same also. I like the Breeds and wish the books would come out faster than they do. But, I think that she needs to change it up some. I also think that she do a prequel about the Leo and Elizabeth. I would like to hear their story. I like the snippets we get in the novels but I think they deserve their own novel.
