Publisher's summary

Zander - the most feared of all the Eternal Guardians. It's rumored he can't be killed, and he always fights like he has nothing to lose. But as a descendant of the famed hero Achilles, he's got to have a vulnerability . . . somewhere. Forces of daemons are gathering and have broken through the barriers of the Underworld. Now more than ever the Eternal Guardians are needed to protect both their own realm and the humans'. Zander can't afford to think about what might have been with the bewitching physician he once regarded as his soul mate. But with eternity stretching before him, he also can't fathom spending his life without the one woman who makes him feel most alive. Perhaps he's found his weakness, after all . . .

Critic reviews

"This second in Naughton's Eternal Guardian series has wonderful characters. The combination of old-world gods and modern technology is fascinating. Violent and bloody, it's action packed and exciting with a cliffhanger ending." ( RT Book Reviews)

Just as engaging as the first book.

The story had me glued to it, so that I can find out what happened between Callia and Zander. Although I really liked the book there were a few parts that dug under my skin that makes this book go from a 5 star to a 4 star book. One of them being Callia's reaction to events didn't jive with me. I won't name the events so I don't spoil the story. All the woman in this book also made me want to slap them for not standing up for themselves. Eventually they do but it takes a while for them to get there. I also didn't like the dynamic between Callia and Isadora while that got better it made me like Isadora a bit less and I was really looking forward to her book. I still am and I will be getting the next book. There is lots of action and twist in this book and the world gets more intricate with each word. Narrator does a good job.

Wow

If I thought I loved the first book, this one topped it even more!!!

I was worried I wouldn’t enjoy it because this story moves from the first book’s main characters, Casey and Theron to Zander and Callia. I LOVED this story and can’t wait to listen to the next!

Better than first book, Yuk Narrator

Yeah, I still cant stand the narrator, but the story line is really good. Im getting the next book. This one was not boring like the first, more action, more chemistry in the main characters. Overall, just better. Im staying with it, still wish for better narration, but hey even second rate ones grow on ya after a couple of books. LOL

Better and BEETTTTTEEERRRRRR!!!!

These books have just gotten better. I was completely enamored by her first book in the Eternal Guardians series but after listening to the story of Zander, i know im going to finish every single book in this series. This book has moments of deception where you would want to slap a person for being so stupid. And the love scenes between the charcters is hot, hot, and hotter. She gives you an amazing part of each of the characters and opens them up wide enough to relate to them or hate to be in there shoes. Elisabeth Naughton is truly amazing.

Great tell

Wishing it was more grabbing, but I’m on to the next book hoping I’m intrigued.

Meh

The overall storyline was good, I liked the different levels of issues Zander and Callia. I did like the hidden in plain sight secrets that were kept from the pair of them, and that they had to process the proper information to get to the bottom of things. My personal issue with the storyline is that these two could've had an adult conversation and would have figured it out a lot sooner than 10 years later. For Zander being so strong physically, I see how he could be lacking in other areas and I appreciate the humanness that was shown through his character. Callia became annoying for me, I know you were hurt once before, but the continuous pushing and pulling with Zander, and kind of playing with his emotions irritated me. I also understand why Callia felt that she was doing what she had to do in order to protect herself. I guess this is what happens when you can read both side of the story. Anyways, I think I will continue the series, I want to see what will come of the princess and her quest.

Very suspenseful, kept me I the edge to the end.

I finished the whole audio book in one day. Although towards the end it was getting irritating worn the way she kept Syria gi n him along and bouncing back and forth work her decision. But it was a very good book and so far a great series. loved both so far.

Compelling, but I didn't like it!

Although I did get my happy ending I found this story very frustrating. Yes, there was a lot of action. Yes, the men where hunky, Yes the story was compelling. But the women never seemed to stand up for themselves. I was very irritated numerous times throughout the entire book because of this. It seemed that the misunderstandings were so manufactured. And you wanted to yell, "Get a freakin clue!" But that's just me. I kept thinking that the heroine and the supporting heroines would break out and stand up for themselves. Sadly, it didn't happen. I did get one good glimpse of that, but then she went back to covering her head in the sand.

I found myself reading other books in between listening to this one. So, I am not to sure if I would order another. But, hey, there is still hope. One of the sisters might just step up to the plate and grow a backbone :)

Great Great Great!! Love these Guardians.

Oh wow this book was good. I love this series. I am averaging listening to this series in a book a day. The characters are all fantastic, the chemistry between Zander and Callia is great, with some hot and steamy sex scenes to boot. The story line and the twists and turns keep you on the edge waiting to see what happens next. The narrator has done a very good so far in these first two books. I am off to get the 3rd in the series. I totally recommend this series. I read along with my Kindle version while listening and it made it even more enjoyable. Its just hard to not listen!!

love it

love the book, can't wait to read the next in her series. definitely worth the credit
