Publisher's summary

Book 8 in the New Species series.

Dr. Allison Baker is obsessed with saving the comatose New Species male. She has tried everything and there’s only one option left. Alli will break every rule and put her life in danger by tempting 880 to wake, using only her feminine scent and touch. She just has to kidnap him and crawl into bed with him to make it work.

880 wakes in a different world with a small female who’s been sleeping beside him, caressing him, and wrapping her sweet body around his, teasing his senses. He lies silent and still, listening and evaluating each arousing touch, fighting his body’s reaction. Hatred flares when he discovers she’s human, but Mercile stole everything from him so he decides it’s fair to take her in return.

But things quickly change and he wants her at his side and in his bed. 880 has chosen a new name – Obsidian - the personification of dark and dangerous. He’ll fight them all to keep Alli. No one will stand in his way.

Awesome

What made the experience of listening to Obsidian the most enjoyable?

This is a most exciting, sexy listen!

What does Vanessa Chambers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Vanessa's ability to portray the voices so realistically made this listen come fully to life. I could 'see and feel' everything she described.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I absolutely wanted to listen all in one sitting and I did just that.

Okay that was pretty good!

Finally, a book that was totally original, which is saying something since it is book 8 in a series.

Dr. Ally loves New Species and would do anything to protect them, but when one of her patients isn't recovering she takes matter into her own hands to heal him.

I was a bit bummed about the separation, but overall I think it was handled well and the characters got me emotionally invested in this world yet again!

just a good book

just liked this one alot not sure why I listen to this one most out of all of them but I love this one the most

Parting is such sweet sorrow.....

Parting is such sweet sorrow, will you take that risk and see me tomorrow? This book kept me on edge and guessing for the next move, the danger, the love that you hoped would last and the understanding and happiness when one finds where they belong.

My least favorite of them all but still good.

Narrator does all the audiobooks in this series. Very talented and she does so many different voices. Love her. Obsidian is my least favorite of the entire New Species series. I found it a little silly and corny. Not as interesting and none of the expected funny jokes and lighter moods. It is hard to get through BUT still a great book. The other books in this series are fantastic!

Great as always!

This book was really up to speed with New Species all the qualities at their best. Highly recommended. Narrator was great, nailed the voices and emotions. Good job Audible

A tad frustrating

I loved Obsidian, he basically knows what he wants from the get go. On the other hand, Dr. Allison annoyed the ever living crud out of me....so wishy washy. That's was really my only grrrr moments.

Read the series, now I'm reviewing

So Darkness is a very good book. by now you have read her other books in the series, or you should before reading this one. I loved how this one plays out. this was definitely one of the books in the series that I did not want to put down, I just wanted to listen to it all the way through because I couldn't figure out how the ending was going to come about. Alli is a fantastic character, exactly what Darkness needs. The first part of the book kind of didn't make sense, in the fact that she kidnaps this monster of a guy and is able to successfully relocate him to another location. however without doing this the story really wouldn't make sense... So all-in-all I love the book though, and highly recommended.

Another Great HEA for this series

Totally worth it! If you are enjoying the series, trust the author, she did not disappoint. I almost didn't read this book based on the reviews that I read. Thankfully, the preview from the previous book convinced me to give it a try.

Great action! Sad story but, same story Premise.

Emotional and appropriate inter action STARVED species INMATE in a coma. A female (anglo/ long hair) Doctor figured that he could "scent" another female to inspire him to wake. This story will keep you listening but SEX does NOT fix everything. Even GREAT sex. This story was uncomfortable for ME at times but, I will still listened. I will continue to read/buy the rest of the series stories about New Species following in love/lust with human female (pale/ anglo) with long hair & the great sex the new species males provide along with environmental conflicts that they have to survive. The reader does a great job, again.
