Publisher's summary

Eadan Daly has thrown himself into the role as the sixth I-Ops team member and has forged a brotherhood of sorts with the other men. When he's asked to go on a solo mission for the PSI Branch (Paranormal Security and Intelligence) he's not so sure he wants his old job back.

Inara Nash is a survivor, doing what she must to get by. On the run for years, from an organization she doesn't fully understand, she tries to stay below the radar. When a blond hunk arrives and claims he's her savior, she suspects her luck might have finally run out. Sure, he's hot and looks like he'd be good in bed but there is something almost magical about him that defies reality. And if there is one thing she's learned in her life in the paranormal underground it's you never trust a magik.

Needed more meat on the story

I am totally hooked on this series. It has taken a little while to get back to it, thankfully it is in audio, which lets me play catch-up.

I really liked meeting Eadan in the other books and was thrilled to see him get a mate. Wouldn't you know he has to go find her to rescue her? Yeah, this series does not make things easy on the mates. They get such tough lives. Even though Inara is in need of rescue, she manages to save herself and her man. Can I get a "you go girl"?

This follows the theme of the series, insta-lust when you find your true mate. Add to that the who fae sex magic angle, and you guessed it, they get busy at an inappropriate time.

The steam factor is of the charts. Oh yeah, things are going to be uber smexy. That is something you come to expect in this series. Wide open bedroom door with plenty of steamy detail.

The narrative is mixed, mostly between the leads but a few randoms as well. It definitely gives you a full understanding of the motivations of everyone around. You will also get hints of stories yet to come.

The story is really short, so the plot is seriously abbreviated. There could have been so much more here. I know this series tries to stay in the novella range, but I would have liked a bit more story, cause it was intriguing.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Topher Samuels, who has a nice raspy grumble to his voice. I really enjoyed his tone, but he also sounded a touch congested. He has a nice pace and keeps the story moving. There are quite a few pauses I could do without, like after every paragraph. If you speed it up the pauses are reduced. I was also bothered by the pronunciation of a past character's name, really not how i thought it would be, grated my nerves every time he said it. Seems like a newer narrator, it will be interesting to hear one of his reads down the road. His women's voices are nice, not too high but a touch breathy.

I am hooked on this series, so I will keep reading, this was just a little disappointing. Everything felt rushed and there is so much story left untold. Please, give me more!!!

*** I hope this review was useful to you and helped your decision to read or not read this book. I love reading and sharing my opinions with other readers. I listen at double speed; all my impressions of the narration are from that setting. Thanks for taking the time to read my review!

Good Read But notion a complete series

Great Listen. It would be nice if the stories were offered in a series package or at least offer the full series, I dislike missing books in a series. This is the reason I hadn't listen-purchased sooner.

True Mates

I was happy to see that not all supernaturals were married to their true mates. At least they could share their world with someone they cared for and not be lonely during their long lives. This was an enlightening story in the world of the Fae. Magik found a way to join a mated pair in such an odd time in both their lives. Topher Samuels did a great job of narrating this story. Mandy M. Roth continues to build an awesome storyline that no one can duplicate. Love it.⚘⚘⚘

Hot and Magical

I loved listening to Eadan and Inara's story. I have read it previously but wanted to see if the audio could bring it more to life for me. The answer? Oh heck yeah! I loved it and looked for reasons to listen.Inara has been on her own for a long time. She had help for a bit, but he was captured and she had to figure things out on her own. Eadan is shown a picture of Inara and immediately wants to find and protect her. Things keep getting deeper as the Corporation is after more of the Asia Project children. Can Eadan save her? I just thought the book drew me in. The audio was that much better.

Love the Immortal Ops World!

I love the continued saga of the Immortal Ops World books. The way Aiden found his mate was perfect. Being fae, it only seemed fitting that he would know it was his mate going in and handling it so differently than the shifters.
I had not heard Topper Samuels before as a narrator, but he did an outstanding job of retelling Aiden's story.
