Publisher's Summary

I can’t believe my ex-boyfriend shot me!

Being a supernatural assassin and bounty hunter had its perks...until the Trust’s bloody assignments made me question everything. When I found my sister lying in a coma, I became a mercenary, killing vampires to pay her hospital bills and searching desperately for a cure.

When my handler offers me a job that could clear my debts and give me answers about what really happened to Cat, I’m all in. The only problem is, I’ll be working for vampires - the same soulless creatures I used to hunt.

They say I’ll be stopping a biological weapon, but instead, I uncover a conspiracy to rid the world of werewolves. I don’t care about the politics, but when I arrive in Belize with my vampire entourage, the mark isn’t what she seems, and the man protecting her is my ex-boyfriend. The same one who testified against me when the Trust took away my magic.

Thanks to him, I’m not allowed to use my arsenal of enchanted weapons, as decreed by the magical governing body we both used to work for. I’ve spent the last year at the bottom of a bottle, holed up with a baby dragon and a very grumpy faerie. But if I can prove who was really behind the ritual that destroyed my sister, I might just get my life back.

They call me Iron Heart, but the truth is, I’m burying my feelings deep for this mission. I never expected Dominic to shoot me and leave me for dead. I never expected the vamps to bind my soul to an infernal demon. And that’s just the beginning. 

Each time I die, I come back a little more powerful, and a little less human. By the end of this adventure, I’ll have fought ghosts, vampires, dragons, and Aztec gods bent on kick-starting a new apocalypse. 

I’m the only one who might be strong enough to stop it. But how much more will I be asked to give up?

I liked it.

I liked it. I did struggle to finish it mostly because if the beginning. of each book feeling kind of boring. but the end was very good. the only thing I didn't like about the end was the excerpt at the end of the trilogy. I thought this was the complete trilogy but it is definitely left open ended. I wish we had gotten more info on what happened to nat in the Otherworld. why have us sit safely at home with her hubby for a year when the good stuff was happening to nat? makes no sense.
would I recommend this trilogy? yes.
do I love it enough to re-read I don't know.
I liked the trials in the underworld and the craziness at wold isle. so maybe. it's really hard to explain. I'm conflicted.
as for the performance of the narrator, since I listened to the audio book? I liked it. she did well at making the characters have their own voice and personality and enjoyed it.

vessel

when Natalia becoming a vessel to a demon becomes an all out mess. A series to check out

Did I miss a prequel somewhere???

I have the patience of someone diagnosed w/ ADHD, because, I too have it. So, when I want to give up on a book, I force myself to go several more chapters just to make sure. For this box set, I made it to Chapter 10 of Book 1. If I ever finish this, I'll update my review.

Again, I DNF this. The slow progression wasn't entirely bad, except I didn't feel any connection to the FMC. Sure, I felt bad for her situation; but I can be sympathetic to a stranger too without wanting to know if their problems ever reach resolution!

Now if the author got you to truly care for the FMC, then this slow build would be bearable. However, I don't fully understand the world this takes place in; as we aren't given too much to build any sort of foundation. The division of supes makes no sense, the race of supes & their "powers" is not disclosed, the FMC is labeled as an "H" on her ID (but we don't know what that means yet).

Overall, it's a bunch of unknowns that doesn't give a reader much to build a connection w/ the characters. So unfortunately, I can't just keep going when there's nothing for me to build feelings towards the FMC in order to make it through her 3-book-long journey.

Maybe I'll be able to finish this, eventually; but that is definitely not today.

One other thing to address is the odd choice for narrator. Just from what I experienced, her voice & tone is definitely not suited for this character. I expected a more deep voice w/ a serious tone given her backstory; not some new young-adult sounding narrator (not trying to be mean. Her voice just doesn't do it for this story, especially w/ the pre-existing issues I already mentioned this book has so far. Narrator redemption was not possible).

Exciting story

Very fast paced. I enjoyed the characters, and the their interactions. I was surprised by the imaginative and original situations in the stories. The narration was amazing. It was a real pleasure to my ears. Highly recommended.

Great listen

Action packed, with well developed characters. Often turned around by some new information that’s introduced all in all a great boxset!
