Consumed

By: Suzanne Wright

Narrated by: Justine Eyre, P.J. Ochlan

Svente vampire Ava Sanchez has a difficult decision to make: Should she accept the invitation of the Grand High Master Vampires and join their legion? It will mean leaving behind her brother and her home. It will also mean working with Pagori vampire Salem McCauley. Unlike the majority of vampirekind, she doesn't fear Mr. Tall, Blond, and Dauntless...even if he does have some psychopathic traits. In fact, he has a raw sexuality that tempts her to drop her 'no relationships' rule and give him exactly what he wants from her - everything.

Salem McCauley doesn't like anything cute, or sweet, or cheery. Yet he wants Ava with a desperation that's bordering on obsession. And shockingly, she doesn't look at him like others do - you know, like they fear he'll rip out their spinal cord for fun. Now that the legion will be busy hunting the players involved in the creation of an illegal vampiric brothel, there's no time for pursuing Ava. But Salem makes time, because he never denies himself what he wants, and he always holds tight to what's his. And that's exactly what Ava is, whether she knows it or not: his.

She’s another scrappy one

Possible Spoilers:
Salem McCauley is completely enamored of new Legion member Ava Sanchez. She’s his, but it takes a few stumbles for Salem to understand that mindset comes with a level of commitment.
Meanwhile, Luther has a vision of a brothel with vampires and mixed species. In tracking down the bad guys behind the scenes, Salem’s sire trades information for moving to The Hollow. Instead of bringing a bodyguard, Will brings his firstborn Gina, an old lover of Salem’s. Of course her gift is the Siren’s Call, the ability to enthrall, and Gina’s willing to say and do almost anything to reclaim and control Salem. We get a happy Binding Ceremony for Salem & Ava, but also Chico & Jude. Smiles.
The narration worked.

Suzanne is AWESOME!!

When an author can bring in characters from her other books seamlessly (Knox Thorne) and tie the story line together so enjoyable, then you have a winner. For Ava to know demons and have the intersectionality of two powerful immortals made this book one of my favorite plots.

The female narrator did not alter the lead character voice enough from the lead of the 1st 3 books making her sound like Sam. That was hard to listen too.

I still enjoyed it greatly!

Great story

This was a great story. Perfect amount of drama, steamy interactions, and wit. I enjoyed the personality of the main female character, she was smart, capable and funny. I enjoyed this book greatly.

Good

Book 4 features a new couple. There was still plenty of Sam and Jared so it felt like a smooth transition in the series.

I liked both main characters, more Salem. He is the broody, dangerous but very protective hero. Ava pushed away a little too much for my liking but she was a likable character.

The series overall is good, just a rough beginning in book 1 that I think is still affecting my overall feelings of the series. I like it enough, I'm still going to read the next book.

Loved it!

Ava and Salem were awesome. Her personality was just what the mean and brooding Salem needed. He will never stop being over protected of her regardless of her vicious streak and gift, but he will never tire of her liveliness or her love of the color pink.
