Publisher's summary

In Sherrilyn Kenyon's The Guardian, Dream-Hunter Lydia has been charged with the most sacred and dangerous of missions: To descend into the Nether Realm and find the missing god of dreams before he betrays the secrets that could kill her and her kind. What she never expects is to be taken prisoner by the Realm's most vicious guardian…

Seth's time is running out. If he can't hand over the entrance to Olympus, his own life and those of his people will be forfeit. No matter the torture, Seth hasn't been able to break the god in his custody. Then there's the beautiful Dream-Hunter Lydia: She isn't just guarding the gates of Olympus—she's holding back one of the world's darkest powers. If she fails, an ancient curse will haunt the earth once more and no one will be safe. But evil is always seductive...

I love this author

I have all her books. Paperback and through audible. I have truly enjoyed everyone of them. I recommend if you start to read/listen to her books that you start at the beginning or you won't understand all the different characters. But the book is so well written you would enjoy it any way.

Wonderful Story!

The book started out confusing but I caught up after the 2nd chapter. I kept getting confused on the names of the characters, my slowness not Mrs. Kenyon's fault. Great performance by Fred Berman. He is one of my favorite narrators next to Holter Graham. They both do such a wonderful job reading Sherrilyn Kenyon's novels. This was a wonderful story full of excitement and love. It was a little too short but... I never want the book to end.

This is a great audible book!

I loved this book, Seth has such a heart breaking story. However Kenyon delivers once again, and Lydia shows Seth that there is good in the world.

One my favorite books

I really don't know why I enjoy these books so much, it has to be because of Fred Berman. The story is the same in all hunter books: the recovery of the main character with unbelievable extreme insecurities due to horrific past and, of course, very happy ending. As long as Fred Berman keeps narrating these books, I will continue listening :) He is my top 5 favorite narrators. I found that I will listen to book with poor developed story, as long as it read by my favorite narrator. However, I will turn off the book with fantastic story with bad narration.
It was definitely worth a credit for me.

The Guardian

Fred Berman has a knack for bring stories to life. The emotions and voices changes are awsome. Ms. Kenyon is a wonderful writer, I find myself waiting for the next book.

Wonderful

This Is a great example of how anyone can overcome their past. No matter how long they have endured pain suffering insult or degradation they can still learn love. Seth had no hope of ever knowing love in anyway from anyone. Yet when he was finally given the opportunity, he took it. He should have hated Lydia with everything in him because of who and what she was. However, he got to know her as a person before he found out what she was. After getting to know her personality and her true heart, her true self was easier to except and forgive. True love is the key to understanding. I do wish there had been a little more revealed between the last chapter in the epilogue but it's still a wonderful book.
