The Viridian Priestess

The Viridian Priestess, Book 1

By: Katrina Calandra

Narrated by: Nikki Grey

She is a telepathic priestess, determined to rise through the ranks of her temple. So why do her thoughts keep straying back to the masked commander?

Priestess Ferren has devoted her life to her celestial deity, yet she has not been able to ascend the priestess order. On the eve of a great planetary event, the chance to prove herself arises. She must accept the opportunity or succumb to a life of shame in the eyes of her temple.

The potentially deadly mission comes with several complications when she crosses paths with a commander from a rival planet. Ferren must conceal her loyalty to the temple from her new travel companion and his questionable crew. The longer she is in proximity to the mysterious commander, the more intrigued she becomes with his forbidden nature.

As the threat of a common enemy closes in, Ferren finds solace in the commander. While working together in the hope of saving their people, they forge a profound connection that tethers them in unexpected ways. Ferren must decide if she can go back to the stoic existence she once led when he has shown her a taste of the life she deserves.

The Viridian Priestess is a slow-burn but spicy romance. It ends on a slight cliffhanger with an HFN.

Can’t wait until the second book!

Romantasy at its finest but with a Mandalorian twist, Commander 99 is hot. The romance is believable and engaging. The world building is adequate and surely
will improve in the second book.

Great listen

Story was interesting. Loved the sci-fi element. However, the female narrator’s male voice wasn’t great. Hopefully they change that in the next one. Looking forward to the sequel!

Really fun

Loved the story! Narrator was great in general, but the voice used for the Commander was very offputting.

A fun book!

I thought the book was fun but I wish there had been a male voice actor for 99

Unique concept and magic

This captivating series weaves a unique tapestry of sci-fi and fantasy romance, transporting readers to a world that feels both otherworldly and deeply relatable. It invites you to explore uncharted realms of imagination, all while experiencing the tender, passionate connections between its characters. I truly hope that more people stumble upon this gem, as it provides a refreshing escape that stands in delightful contrast to the typical offerings saturating the genre today.
