Meh

I wanted to like this because I have loved many Gena Showalter books in the past but this just isnt so good quality wise. There is heat and interesting issues but overall this book is like more complex harlequin book. It leaves my paranormal dark romance heart unsatisfied. I wish author would really concentrate on one book at the time. Finishing it using enough time to make it perfect like so many of her older books. I used 1 Credit for this book and I do regret it. If someone pays 20$ for Your book it should be excellent. Kresley Cole for example never disappoints.

Wonderful

This is the second book of the Gods of War series. I adored the first book in this series and was very excited for this release. Definitely worth the wait. Though I still love Knox, we get to meet Bane and Nola. Loved the snarky humor. Can’t wait for this to continue and maybe get to know Zion?

Showalter & Petkoff for the win

I'm SO happy Gena went with Robert petkoff for this second installment I did not care for the previous male narrator, Melissa Moran was amazing both books hope she keeps these narrators. I loved this book it's set at the same time as with vale and knox's story but nola and banes story I loved them so much how it went from must hate her shes going to be evil to him not letting her go back n saving his old wife. I NEED book 3 now.

similar to another book

I made it to the end of the book however the last chapters felt rushed

AT HER BEST!!

I have read Showalter's books for years... this is one of her best! Great characters, great story line, awesome action (violent and other), a fabulous read!!

Wonderfully & Deceivingly Complex

Robert Petkoff is absolutely wonderful. Love his rendition of each character. It really draws you in. And the story line for this series is much more complex than it seems from any individual summary of the books. I can't wait for the next one!

Don't buy the audible version 2 1/2 stars

I don't write reviews very often, but I just really struggled with this book. I think some of it was the narration in the Audible version. I hated the switching between the man and woman each chapter. I especially couldn't stand how whiny the male narration of the female voices was, especially Nola. the female narrator was better. I love Gena Showalter! She's a good to auto for me but not in this series. I forced myself to finish this. Storyline was kind of weak and the relationship between the main characters made me roll my eyes and lot. I really hope that the story gets better because the idea is great. I really wanted to like it more.

Double Trouble!

Loved Gena’s second installment to gods of war series! Story and characters were great albeit a bit rushed at the end but otherwise had me wanting more. The narrators were also good,(can’t go wrong with Robert Petkoff ^-^) and Melissa Moran was satisfactory but I’m definitely more into single narrating than multiple. It was too distracting for me. Overall I give it a thumbs up!
