Darkness Rises

Immortal Guardians Series, Book 4

De: Dianne Duvall

Narrado por: Kirsten Potter

Krysta is used to getting the drop on vampires. Her "special abilities" aren't much, but the plan is simple - she plays helpless pretty young thing to lure them in. Then her shoto swords come out and it's bye-bye, bloodsucker. Until one night she finds herself with an unexpected ally. He's a vampire, all right, but different. Mysterious. Handsome. And more interested in saving her skin than draining it. Etienne has been an Immortal Guardian for two hundred years-long enough to know that Krysta is special. He can't stop thinking about her long legs, even more than her short swords. Then he discovers the vamps she's exterminating have friends in high places, and the Guardians are in danger, too. He'll have to accept Krysta's help to save them. The stakes for a mortal are high. But the cost to his heart might be higher . . .

AWESOME...... SIMPLY AWESOME

Dianne Duvall's a Maestro at creating a fascinating paranormal world, then floods it with interesting characters, breathes life and personalities into each of them for us to savour and drool over and finally gives us an incredible, action-packed, funny, intense, adventure with twists, humor, intrigue, sizzling sex scenes and, of course, an intense romance.

Book by book she seamlessly orchestrates love matches, battles, villains, good, evil and questionable characters, shocks and surprises whilst all the time building and building towards the inevitable final battle. Krystal and Etienne's story was a non-stop entertaining and enjoyable listen and only added to the intrigue and mysteries that is the Immortal Guardian's world.

Worth a credit? There's WOWS, POWS, PHEWS and WHO KNEWS so I think I've said enough to let you know that my answer will not only be a YES, but a HELL YES written on 100 shiny Helium balloons all leisurely floating skywards. A good runner-up to J R Ward's BDB.

Stop, Collaborate an Listen

STOP before you listen to this book you need to know that Ms. Duvall COLLABORATED on a collection of novellas called "Predatory" and you need to LISTEN to that before you try this one. This made me kind of mad especially considering that the novella isn't even classified as part of the Immortal Guardian series but contains major plot developments for the series. I hate it when authors do that. I started listening to this story and it just didn't make sense the characters kept referencing a battle and there were unknown characters that were never explained and then I finally realized I had missed a story. I am really not happy about this.

Potter did an excellent job narrating this story, she really does an excellent job voicing all of the characters in the series. I enjoyed this book, perhaps not quite as much as the first three but I still really enjoyed it. Etienne is pretty predictable for a 200 year old french immortal guardian. His one quirk of using slang to make him seem not as old to his love interest was endearing. Krysta was a great character, a strong and funny heroine I really enjoyed her story. I think maybe I will give this story another listen after I have read the novella, I think I will like it more.

So good

Don’t listen to the low star reviews. I can’t wait to go on to the next book!!!!

Still liking the series. :)

Keep them coming Dianne. I have really enjoyed keeping up with the imortals. They are fun. And Kirsten is awesome with the different accents. Cant wait to see what is up with Zach. Thanks

Amazing as always

The narrator is phenomenal with accents and characters. The story is great and makes you addicted to the next story.

Exceptionally Good

I never thought I'd find such an amazingly fascinating set of stories. I went into this series not thinking it would be this interesting. And the narration, I personally think, is phenomenal. Very well done with different tones and engaging in emotional telling that I look for in a narrator. I love it and I'm becoming borderline obsessed with the series. It's a compelling take on vampires and their world and there's still more to find out as I dive deeper into the series. Onto the next book for me!

redhat queen

This was a fantastic book. Just like the other books I listened to in this series. I can’t wait to finish this series.

too short!

i loved Etiens story! but it ended so abruptly! oh well... guess I gotta read the next one😄🤪😍

Love this series

I got through this book in 1 day. I'm dying to find out what Seth is. An angel? A God? Who/what is Zack? I dont know but the suspense is killing me. On to book 5...
