Resumen del Editor

They say I'm the danger; they haven't met my men.

Demon-beasts claim I have a power that threatens their plans of mass destruction. Joke's on them since, I have no idea how to use it. That doesn't stop them from coming after me, though.

Hot, broody, wolf shifter Kol and his friend Grim are the only things standing between me and the creatures trying to kill me. They say they're my best bet to survive. But there's another who wants me too.

With wild eyes and a warrior's heart, Helix hunts me relentlessly and says he won't stop until I belong to him instead.

The elders say I can only pick one as my guardian against the dark forces who want me dead. The thing is, I've never been good at following orders. Unfortunately, if I break this rule, I risk destroying the entire world. How am I supposed to follow my heart when the darkness wants to rip it to shreds?

This is a slow burn reverse harem paranormal romance with steam.

Loved this!

What a great beginning to an interesting series. Shifters as protectors of Goddesses before and after they ascend.

So far I really love these characters and can’t wait to see how they develop, along with the storyline.

Good start to this PNR RH trilogy 😊

This is my first audiobook by this author and I am going to definitely check out the rest of her backlog to see what's up because I definitely enjoyed this one! I am a huge RH lover so when I found out her series was starting to be on audiobook I was super excited since it had wolf shifters and gods involved ❤️

I thought this was a fast paced (in terms of story and conflict) but slow burn in terms of the romance of the book. I liked the backstory and learning more about each of the characters since THERE ARE SO MANY SECRETS! I liked the various side characters and hopefully El's harem and the dynamics involved in that. I can't wait for the lightbulb moment where you can have more than 1 guardian/love, so hope book 2 won't take long to get on audio so I can know what happens next. I liked El, but at times she was repetitive and a little timid which contradicted the self defense she was good at in the human world and how she compared her and Finn, she was the spitfire and feisty one but she didn't really do that in this book as much as I would have thought a character like that would. The feral aspect of the wolf dynamics was great, liked the back and forth the guys had. I really liked Grim's levity and when he opened himself up a bit and was vulnerable I felt for him!! I was annoyed with Cole and wanted more from Helix. I am still on the fence about Finn, only time will tell if I can trust him again haha. My biggest gripe with this story was the fade to black!! Like I wasn't expecting that at all and it did make me a little upset. Like I like slow burns but doing more high level/not graphic sexy scenes is waaaaay better than FTB.

I hope book 2 delves more into the powers and god dynamics of this story. I liked the glimpses of it but book 1 was definitely focused on more of the shifters (except with the baddie at the end). I think this story has a lot of potential and has a backbone to be a great series. Gonna hold off knowing what happens next because I want to listen to it after liking the performances in book 1. Thought Kelly did a good job with her narration, gave some great emotions for Elodie with the loss of her aunt and all the battles and attacks by the demon creatures. I thought her male portrayals were good too.

Captivating

Oh my goddess!! This was just so compelling and captivating and straight up entertaining!! I quickly fell in love with Elidi and Kol, Helix and even Grim. The boys are alluring and strong and dedicated. Everyone El meets is housing their own agenda and things become dicey when actions are brought into the light. Who can our girl trust!? That is the main question!! I found that I really didn't want to part from my reading time with this book. It just draws you in!! It's clever and sassy. You've got to love a book where you're figuring out everything right along with the main character. Ms. Hildenbrand is a pure creative genius. I love her twists and turns and the inner voice that she gives to her heroines is so very much needed and such a breath of fresh air 💗💗💗 I absolutely rush to read anything that this author releases. She is just so engaging and imaginative and wholly unique!

Surprising!

Filled with danger, the Gods, magic, guardians, tension and backstabing betrayal this was a real page turner/listener. I was caught off guard at what parts of this story captured my attention and which parts I wished would go by faster.

a m a z i n g !

Hildenbrand and Pruner are such a great team! Her stories are always captivating, but when it's read by Kelly Pruner 🤯 it truly comes to life! This is my second series by this duo and I am looking forward to all the rest!

Intriguing!

I was drawn in from the first chapter! I like the characters and story. There are so many secrets and sides pulling the stings that it keeps things interesting. I can’t wait to see what happens next. The narrator was pretty good. This was the first time I have listened to her and I felt she had a good voice and her tone was easy to listen to. Looking forward to book 2!

Goddess Ascending

okay this sucks, now I have to wait for the next book to come out. this was a really good start to a series, I'm enjoying how she's not a push over and how she stands up for her family. and her hot boys, I really can't wait for more. the narrator did a really good job to. Heather babe please hurry with book 2.

Great Start!

Definitely intrigued enough to come back for more. Excited to see where this group end up!

It's a brand new world

Fated Consorts is the second series of Heather Hildenbrand and while I'm just on the first book, Goddess Ascending, I can already tell I'm gonna love it. This fantasy is filled with gods and goddesses, wolf shifters called guardians, magic, demons, multiple realms, and more and all of it is centered around Elodie as she starts to transform into who she has always meant to become.


This book had all the fantastical elements I love with a rich history. All the gods are in this one, from Zeus to Odin, mythologies were mixed and I'm here for it. I love getting to know the gods that showed in this one, one is giving off a weird vibe, they aren't to be trusted. The drama was off the charts, with too many lies and an unknown enemy who is attacking at every turn. There's so much excitement and action but most of all there's the mystery. So many questions, will Elodie ascend? What other dangers are in store for Elodie? And do much more.


Goddess Ascending was fantastic, Kelly Pruner did a great job bringing Elodie's story to life. So much has happened but there's so much more to go and I can't wait to see where the journey takes Elodie next.

Great book!

Once I started listening to this book I couldn't stop! But I love everything Heather writes, so I knew this book wouldn't disappoint. Mythology, supernaturals, gods and goddesses, secrets and lies, this book has it all.

The character development and story building was amazing. I will definitely finish this series. I can't wait to see what happens with Elidi and her men.
