When He's Dark

Olympus Pride Series, Book 1

By: Suzanne Wright

Narrated by: Samantha Cook

Cat shifter Bree Dwyer doesn't fear much. Ironically, what she fears most is the person who was put on the Earth just for her. Your true mate wasn't supposed to be cruel and twisted; wasn't supposed to be someone who'd never love or want to claim you. The rumors that her true mate is dead bring her only relief. Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

Aleksandr "Alex" Devereaux detests being bullshitted, but he's been lying to himself for years - pretending he thinks of Bree as extended family; that he doesn't want her so bad he aches with it; that he can't feel himself weakening against her pull. The night they spend together changes everything. He's done fighting himself on what he wants. Someone isn't happy about that. Possibly the same "someone" who's playing mind games with Bree, trying to scare her. They're succeeding, because too many leads point to the possibility that the culprit could be the one person that she's determined to believe is dead.

Contains mature themes.

love it

I love this book and I can't wait to read more of the series I thought Mercury pack in Phoenix back was the only packs that I could actually enjoy but finding out about the Olympian pride I'm looking forward to more stories this is awesome

perfect

could do with less sex scenes but still a very good book. glad I played it

Surprised

Never saw the twists and turns in this novel! I would definitely recommend this book to be added to your wish list.

Listening on repeat

I first listened to this book a few months (?) ago and enjoyed it. This week, I find myself listening to it on repeat.

I enjoy that there's a bit of a whodunit mystery to it. There are several different threats. The male love interest is 100% devoted and protective - and the opposite of a pushover. The female protagonist can hold her own.

The book is full of strong personalities. The banter between characters is amusing. Many characters are overly assertive / venomous to the point of being toxic to some degree. Sometimes the dialog veers into cringe / absurd or it drags a bit.

In the middle, there are only 1-2 brief scenes I don't enjoy, and a lengthy party at the end I tend to skip. The vast majority of the novel holds my attention from start to finish. Even during repeat listens, I find it hard to put down.

This is definitely NOT suitable reading material for teenagers. The book depicts many sexually explicit scenes and unhealthy relationships.

Great story and twists!

I loved how real the characters were and the interaction between them. This was well performed! I laughed out loud, gasped, and at other times wanted to run over some of the characters! Nice twists, kept you guessing throughout the story, and just when you thought you had it figured out, it twisted again. Definitely will be following this author and narrators!
