Blades of Arris, Book 1

De: Starla Night

Narrado por: Lance Greenfield, Cindy Kay, Connor Crais

It’s a routine mission. Hunt down the ones who dared - dared - steal our sacred procreation metal from us, the rulers of the empire.

The Arrisans conquered Earth in a day. They smashed into our helpless planet like a wrecking ball, and overnight, everything changed. That’s what our history books say.

The truth is, I’ve never seen an Arrisan face-to-face. But when my lone medical ship is attacked by ruthless pirates, the nightmare that hunts them down is no hero. Cloaked in assassin’s gray, metal scythes fused to his wrist-bones, he is the grim reaper of the conquerors. The Arrisan elite special forces. A blade.

Luckily for me, he’s in a good mood now that he’s the last man standing in the blood-soaked ruins of my bridge - so, he lets me live. After all, I’m just a lesser. Clearly, I’m no threat. Until his body starts reacting to mine.

From the author of the Lords of Atlantis and Onyx Dragons comes a dazzling new series full of unique alien shifters, fierce passion, and loyal warriors who find their fated mates in the stars. Each full-length book is a complete romance with an epic happily-ever-after. Claim your conqueror today!

Master Class in Consent & Fabulous World Building

I saw this book in Facebook and figured, "what the heck why not?" I'm so glad I decided to read this book. I listened to the audio book version. So good! The narrators really did a great job of sucking you into the story.

As for t story itself, it's fantastic. The world building is so good. The characters are rich and their respective character arcs? Top notch. I will say the book felt a smidge long but that could be because I've been reading shorter books lately and not because the story drags, let me tell you, this story doesn't drag. its all purposeful. if sex scenes aren't your thing, you may want to skim a bit but I found them interesting and the scenes were designed to show the deepening connections between Cat and Sithe. Also, Sithe...that man is something special. His tenderness, the respect he shows Cat in honoring her wishes and listening to her, recognizing her skills in and letting her take the lead? whew! I loved it. I can't wait for the next book which features Zai. Also the poor ship Captain, he was so outta his depth with Cat. 😄 In summation, read it! You won't regret it!

Esme and Zai

I enjoyed this story it was a wonderful adventure. There was a interesting storyline with action and adventure. The characters are strong and duty bound. There journey to love was great.

Outstanding!

This was my first Starla book, and wow, I was so impressed. This book was outstanding! I truly admire an author who is brave enough and has the imagination to create a tale so different from what you usually get in this genre. Even though all the usual elements were present, they were individually, so very outside the norm--fresh, exciting, addictive, cerebral, logical and yet unexpected. I hope all of this author's books are just as good so I can enjoy many more hours of rapt listening!

Good

I like this story it is more than romance but sci-fi adventure more so but now I have to listen to the next story. This first one I feel had a lot of background information and will set up other stories. I liked it but I will see if after the next one if it’s worth continuing. I at one point wanted to stop listening to this one because it was kind of slow but hang in there this is the set up book. Sci-fi with romance is how I class this book but I liked it

Amazing!!!

This was an amazing story! So different from what Starla Night usually writes and I'm definitely here for it! I loved how dark it was and how Sithe went from essentially being a mindless soldier to fighting against everything he's always known for his love.
The narrators were perfect for the roles and definitely helped immerse me farther into the story than I would have if I had read it myself. It was almost as if a movie was playing through my head as I listened to them tell the story.
In summery, 5 stars and a definite MUST read!!!!
