Andromeda's Reign

By: K. S. Haigwood, Anne Conley

Narrated by: B.D. McMonnies

Length: 15 hrs

Publisher's Summary

The alpha lion of Las Vegas, Ace Keller, has luck on his side, at the poker table and with the ladies, calling bluffs and breaking hearts whenever the notion strikes him.

After bonding with the alpha wolf of Montgomery, Alabama, fate flips Ace's simple world upside down when he finds himself desiring only one woman in his life - Andromeda. But not only does he want her, he needs her touch in order to live.

The bond forces them to feel each other's emotions and hear each other's thoughts, which wouldn't be a problem except Andromeda is in love with a master vampire, and Ace has dark secrets of his own that could put her in danger.

Andromeda's Reign

Any additional comments?

I never knew where the story would take us, at least not until the very end. The many mysteries and twists you don't expect but adds a whole new level to the experience as I was reading. I am eager to see where else the authors will take us in the next book.

Wow!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I would say Ace is my favorite character overall. Mena is still a little to timid for me and Phoenix just..... GRRRRR.

Any additional comments?

So I will be honest and say that at certain points I had to step away from the book for a day or so and then come back. Not because the book was bad but because it was that good. It had my emotions all over the place. I went from happy, to sad, to shocked, to furious and then all of it again. I would have to calm down before I kept listening otherwise I would have to buy a new tablet because I would have thrown this one for some of the characters decisions and actions. Now I will try to wait patiently for the next book...........

Love This Series!

Andromeda’s reign is the second book in the Moonrising series, I didn’t think it could possibly top the first audiobook in the series but I was wrong! I loved this story, it has action and suspense just like the first book, but what liked best is the once Andromeda finally makes a decision who she wants to be with, she sticks with it, no more wishy-washy dithering.

Book two is narrated by BD McMonnies and this is my first listen to him as a narrator and he was perfect, I enjoyed having this audiobook narrated by a man. I definitely feel like it added more to the story since so many of the characters in the book are male and he voiced the female character with a light subtlety that I liked. The audio production was top of the line as well.

Bring on book three!

This audiobook was gifted to me exchange for an unbiased review!

MORE ACE and more B.D. McMonnies, please!!!

Any additional comments?

This story was completely, totally enthralling, and it was narrated by someone new to me.
I AM HOOKED! I need the next installment, and I want to hear McMonnies narrate!! And, looking now... NO OTHER WORKS OUT YET??

I am in serious insta-luv with his voice.

I'm not saying we should go all "MISERY" on his kneecaps, I'm just saying someone should lock this man in the narration booth until he gets the next book(s!!) read.

That's all.

That's not too 'crossing-the-line-into-creepy/stalkerish territory' to ask, right???

Right.

Annnyway.

ACE IS BACK. This book. If all is fair in love and war... WOW!! SO MUCH happened - I bookmarked great scenes, touching moments, high tension, HILARIOUS laugh-out-loud lines that I can't share, because as I reviewed them again... spoilers. You don't want to spoil this.

The author duo did an excellent job again incorporating elements I'd yet to see in a paranormal - very cool, fantastic ideas for the bond and the abilities/capabilities of bonding. The plot was great, I was so happy with a fast paced, beautifully, fully fleshed out story that kept me hoping I had time to hear just one more chapter. Well done.

SO, sooooo worth the credit, and now I'm impatiently waiting for book three! (With B.D. McMonnies reprising of course. PLEASE.)

Five ROARING Stars

Holy cow! What a wild ride!

Five roaring stars!

Andromeda's Reign picks up right where Midnightmoon Rising leaves off, and does not disappoint. As Ace and Andromeda begin to understand the bond that they share we are taken on a wild ride.

Ace Keller is the ultimate sexy alpha male and it is safe to say that I am in love with the giant lion. I was actually surprised that I felt so strongly for Ace, as I was all about Phoenix in the beginning, but after seeing him and Andromeda together I am 100% team Ace.

Writing this review actually presents challenges because I am afraid of giving too much away. One of the things that makes this book so amazing is the fact that it keeps you on edge. K.S Haigwood & Anne Conley are great at grabbing your attention and holding you hostage until the very last word.

If you like an audiobook that has awesome characters, steamy scenes, and humor this audiobook is for you.

B.D McMonnies is the narrator for Andromeda's Reign. He is absolutely amazing! His voice is like smooth rich chocolate. Pure yummyness! I just couldn't get enough of his words. He even did a great job at narrating Andrea's Point of view. He also gave secondary characters their own voices which made the story flow beautifully. This is a narrator I hope we hear more from in the future.

An amazing continuation to an already awesome story. I highly recommend Andromeda's Reign and can barely wait for more from this series.

FABULOUS

I just finished Book 2 and WTH? When will Book 3 come out? This is a wonderful Series. KS Haigwood and Anne Conley have created as masterpiece. The characters are the best. But the best part is that, in the love triangle where Mena finds herself, my feelings for each of the sexy men change almost from page to page. I feel like I am at a tennis match watching the ball go back and forth. I can't make up my mind. I feel it is Phoenix and then a few minutes later, it is ACE. Even in the beginning I was rooting for Alex. Now, after the complex, complicated relationships of these characters, there is still no resolution. If anything, at the end of this book, I am more confused than ever. At this point, I have my favorite, but I just don't know where that will go. These creative authors will probably change my mind more than a dozen times in the next book. (I hope there will be a next book.) The story can't end now. The narrator did a great job with the characters. He certainly didn't detract from them, as some narrators do. So glad I started listening to this series. Maybe I will have to get some of Kristi's other books/series while I wait.

Her reign has begun!!!

What did you love best about Andromeda's Reign?

This book picks up where book 1, Midnight Moonrising, left off with Ace and Mena now in Las Vegas. Ace has realized this bond between he and Mena is more than just a joining, it’s a completion of one soul with another. Literally one cannot live without the other. If even 8 hours goes by they will fall ill and eventually die if kept apart. Not to mention they now share emotions which is very hard since Mena is still heart broken over leaving Phoenix behind with her pack.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mena’s character shows dramatic growth in this book. I will be the first to tell you she is the most forgotten Alpha in this group of characters. She is so busy crying over Phoenix and confused about her relationship with Ace she seems to forget it herself at times. She’s not the only one blinded by the relationship triangle. Ace is so worried about losing her he will do anything to not tell her about his past or the danger she, the packs and he are in. Phoenix is so desperate to get his love back and break the bond, he loses sight of what is actually best for Mena. However, as I said, Mena grows in this book and by the end every single person will know exactly whose “Reign” it is.

Any additional comments?

Now it would be remiss of me to not mention the division that has occurred over these books. Friends, fans, readers and strangers alike are now choosing sides. This love triangle between Phoenix, Mena and Ace has divided many of Moonrising fans. By the end of this book you may like several of the characters, you may even love some that are suddenly KILLED off (this is a Haigwood style of writing). However, you will come away from this book as either a #TeamPhoenix or a #TeamAce fan. In fact, let me know in the comments section which you are!! This book is going to break your heart regardless of which team you select. It’s impossible to not have your heart hurting while reading this book. The love Mena has for Phoenix is challenged by the new mating bond she has with Ace. There is nothing but heartbreak written all over this. If the bond can be broken by Phoenix Ace will lose his one true love. If it can’t be, will Phoenix, who has never been in love before, survive the loss of his Mena? You’ll have to read and find out for yourself.

HOLY WereLions, Vamps and WereWolves

I fell in love with this series after reading the first book, Midnight MoonRising. I knew this series was going to be EPIC! When I found out that Andromeda's Reign was available for audio, I dropped what I was reading (listening to actually) to get started on it. Needless to say, I devoured it! This book has it all, trust me. Anyone that knows my review style knows that I review from the heart. I base a book on my feelings and how it affects me. This book has all the range of emotions you can possibly imagine! With vampires, were-shifters, mages, and witches how can you go wrong? These are the perfect ingredients for the best story line ever. And believe me, it is the story that keeps you hanging on every word because you never know what is going to happen next. I was mad, in tears, laughing, ready to rip someone's head off and sad all in a matter of chapters. THIS is good writing! I commend the writers, Kristie Haigwood and Anne Conley as they have a special kind of magic to create these characters together. The "adult" relationships are well represented by way :) I am waiting on pins and needles for book 3 ladies! THANK YOU!!!!

A true love story

I absolutely love this story! The amount of emotions that K.S Haigwood is able to make me feel and the instant connection to the characters is amazing. I have laughed, cried and felt the heartbreak of these characters over and over again. Ace has a tremendous growth from the previous book to this one. His character was not one of my favorites at the beginning but now I am in love! I cannot wait for the next book!

Can't wait for the next book in the series

Any additional comments?

I loved this book. I was given a copy of the book on audible for an honest review. As a regular audiobook listener I'm fussy about my narrators and B.D. McMonnies was excellent. The book jumps from first person and Ace's POV to third person and Andromeda/Mena's POV and sometime's Phoenix's POV in third person. It's an interesting way to do it but B.D. Monnies pulls it off.

To the plot. Again, like the first book, this was a love triangle and I couldn't help suspecting where this was going simply from the fact it was mostly in Ace's first person POV. And as a reader, I wasn't happy. But I was willing to let K.S. Haigwood and Anne Conley have their way and I'm so glad I did.

This book is full of action and twist and by the end of it my mind was all bent out of shape, but in a good way. And I could not believe the series ended that way. Until I realised that the chances were there was another book still to be released. And I've since found out there is another to come. I cannot wait.

These books are well worth the time. You will love the characters and you will root for each one of them along the way at different times. And you'll also want to smack them on the head at other times. I'm now #TeamAce all the way, if anyone was wondering.

Wow...

Just finished this book and I am speechless (which for me says a lot!)
I really enjoyed the first book of the series but the author took this to a whole new level!
Action packed, with so many twists and turns that I think I have ground my teeth into nubs

And that ending... Only a dark and twisted person (in a good way) could come up with such a premise

A must read!
