Resumen del Editor

The darkest magics feed the darkest hunger.

I will raze the Unseen realm and destroy every abomination that lives in it. The obsidian fae abducted and tortured me, murdered my best friend, and ruined my life. After 13 years of being the crazy girl no one wants around, I've finally found a portal to the other world. But I need an elemental to take me through it. The only one who'll do the job is Max, a sex-starved incubus who wants my body as payment for the service - and my body wants him.

Harper Goode wants to murder me. It just figures my fated mate would turn out to be a mortal bent on destroying my world and me along with it. I might've helped save both worlds twice, but I'm no hero. And the hunger won't let me rest until I've claimed Harper. How long can I resist the urge? How long before I become the monster she thinks I am?

We both have enemies hunting us. We both have inner demons to slay. If we don't kill each other, the dark forces closing in on us just might.

Obsidian Hunger is the fourth book in the Undercover Elementals series of paranormal romances by Anna Durand, best-selling author of the Hot Scots series.

Max gets his well deserved story!

I have always loved Max ever since he strutted on scene. There is just something about his non apologetic attitude and his faithfulness that touched my heart. So I was super excited to see he got his own story. It is everything I had hopes for him. Harper has fire in her! She is perfect for Max if only she would realize it. I enjoy the banter they both Max and Harper have. Since Max is a fire salamander incubus there are a ton if comments referencing his salamanderious body or self.

Overall I loved this story! I chuckled and walked around with a smile on my face while listening. It was also nice to catch up with Lindsey and Nivin. I did listen to this on audio. Shane East and Ava Lucas both do an amazing job narrating. Ava personifies Harper and Shane always does a perfect job.

Fun, entertaining, kick-butt listen

I thoroughly enjoyed Obsidian Hunger, the fourth book in the Undercover Elementals series from Anna Durand. Anna Durand has created a fascinating world in this series, and it is adventurous, humorous, steamy and heartbreaking all at the same time.

We previously met Max in the Janusite Trilogy, where he was Lindsey's familiar, a salamander and incubus. Now that Lindsay and Nevan (the leads from the previous three books) have found their happily-ever-after, it's time for Max to find his! Little does he know it, but when he crosses paths with Harper, a mortal determined to get revenge on everyone from the Unseen, his life will change forever! Harper is strong, determined, sharp-witted and sharp-tongued! She is a true match for Max's wicked sends of humor and no-holds-barred incubus lifestyle.

Max grows from a lothario with a distrust of love into a truly devoted match for Harper. He can't explain why he's so drawn to her, but he is, and he embraces it. Harper, for her part, wants nothing to do with magical beings after a run-in in her past that left her scarred, but she can't deny the chemistry and the pull that she has to Max.

In true Anna Durand style, the writing is fantastic. There is a well-developed plot, character growth and development, a fanciful setting that makes sense in it's magical way, and so much witty dialog that you can't help but laugh out loud. The narration by Shane East and Ava Lucas is spot-on. Shane portrays Max and alternately clueless, smarmy and snarky, and Ava plays up Harper's strength and determination. They both make the characters leap from the story so vividly you can see this as a movie in your mind as you're listening.

So thoroughly entertaining, enchanting and engaging. I hope there are more Undercover Elementals in the works.

Max’s story and it’s a good one!

The first 3 books had a different narrator and I was used to the way Max sounded. This book has Shane East, who is one of my fav narrators, but it took me a bit to get used to the new Max. I loved the story and it is well read. And Max does deserve to have the great voice of Shane East! On to book 4!

5 stars for Harper and Max!

I absolutely loved this book and every character involved. This PNR story had so many snarky, sexy and emotional aspects to it and I loved it!
Harper and Max's growth from where they start at the beginning to where they end up is pretty much a bit of a roller coaster, but so worth the ride. Harper is a pretty strong woman and I loved how determined she was. I also loved Max's close friendship with Lindsay and Nevan and how they're very supportive of him because they've become like a family.

It had some really powerful scenes that absolutely brought me to tears made a hundred times more impactful by Ava and Shane's performances. Really superb acting in this book.

I went into this book after only having read book 1. I'm glad I did, because I just couldn't wait!  So at least I know how everything kinda gets started. I do think you could possibly read it as a standalone, but if you plan to ever go back to read the others, it's got lots of spoilers for other characters. Trust me you WILL want to read them all.

Good book

Book was funny thanks to the narrators who did a great job with characters. A salamander was an interesting character to turn into; can’t imagine one in my bra 😂. Looking forward to the next book in series.
