The End of Hatred (Etherya’s Earth Book 1) by Rebecca Hefner (Narrated by Devon Wilcox)

Description

These are dangerous times on Etherya’s Earth….

Slayer Princess Miranda, heir to the throne, has hated the Vampyres for a thousand years. Since the Awakening, she’s fought to protect her people, choosing to be a warrior more than a royal. When a female Vampyre washes up on the shore of her compound’s riverbank, she seizes the moment to take the offensive.  

Sathan, King of the Vampyres, distraught at his sister’s disappearance and captivity, agrees to travel with Miranda to resect the Blade of Pestilence, also hoping to change his people’s state of endless war. Although the woman hates him due to the constant raids on her compound for the Slayers’ life-giving blood, he can’t help but admire the stubborn and strong princess.  

As their journey progresses, both begin to understand that they are aligned in their hatred of Crimeous, leader of the Deamons, as well as their hope for peace between the Slayers and Vampyres. Determined to fight their growing attraction, they forge a tentative truce. But old wounds run deep, and trust is scarce. Their faith in each other must remain strong, or all will be lost….

The Etherya’s Earth series is best listened to in order so that the listener can enjoy the evolution of the characters. After all, the author loves a good twist and wants the listener to uncover them organically. However, listeners of romance, rest assured, each audiobook has its own featured hero/heroine and a happily ever after ending.

My Review

I’ve read and loved these books, so when the audio option came out, I was there.

Devon Wilcox has such a soothing voice. The inflections, tones and excitement he uses to tell the story had me listening for too many times in the day 😝

The story is just amazing, it tells of two factions that are constantly at war with one another.

Until a vampyre and slayer are forced to work together.

The story is a fast paced action tale. The romance is steamy, and the banter between Miranda and Sathan has you chuckling, even more so when the story is told to you. Throw in Deamons and it’s the start of a great adventure and new series.

The Etherya’s Earth series is best listened to in order, so that the listener can enjoy the evolution of the characters. After all, the author loves a good twist and wants the listener to uncover them organically. However, listeners of romance rest assured that each book has its own featured hero/heroine and HEA.

My Review

Again read by Devon Wilcox (who is becoming a narrator I love to listen to)

This book tells of forbidden love and continuing the battle between Vampyre/Slayer/Daemons.

Devon gives Rebecca’s story an edge, his tones just add to the tale. Closing your eyes you see the story unfold. How Lila was forsaken by her fiancé and how she finds love with another.

How Latimus yearned for another man’s woman. How bitter he had become as he watched her grow into a beautiful Vampyre and knowing she would never be his.

And the Daemons are causing trouble for both sides.

How do Lila and Latimus find love? You need to listen to Devon tell you.

The Darkness Within (Etherya’s Earth Book 3) by Rebecca Hefner (Narrated by Devon Wilcox)

Description

Arderin, princess of the illustrious Vampyre kingdom, has always marched to the beat of her own drum. Motivated by a calling to heal others, frustration consumes her since her brother King Sathan doesn’t understand her desire to study medicine in the human world. Moreover, the son of the Dark Lord Crimeous has moved to their compound, and he seems obsessed with driving her absolutely insane. Hating him for his sharp tongue and dark nature, she tries to squelch her unwelcome attraction to him.

Darkrip has been enthralled by Arderin since the night he knocked her unconscious and sent her down the river, prompting the end of the War of the Species. Never has he met a woman more beautiful and passionate. Frustrated by her dramatics, and consumed by his desire for her, he vows to stay away. For, the son of Crimeous, with his malevolent blood, could never have children or a normal life.

When Crimeous threatens both their lives, forcing them into a shared captivity, they do everything possible to escape and survive. As their connection grows, so does their attraction. Knowing they have no future together and the consequences of furthering their relationship would be disastrous, they forge ahead in the conflict against the Dark Lord. But the universe is fickle and can muddle with even the best-laid intentions…

The Etherya’s Earth series is best listened to in order so that the listener can enjoy the evolution of the characters. After all, the author loves a good twist and wants the listener to uncover them organically. However, fans of romance – rest assured, each book has its own featured hero/heroine and HEA.

My Review

This book is my second favourite (but a close second) story in this series.

DarkRip and Arderin aren’t suppose to be together, in fact how this story works out was just a touch of genius.

Devon gives DarkRip that air of malice and loathing that he has for Arderin, but he also gives DarkRip an innocence that Reading doesn’t always give you. In fact when I read, I hear Devon’s voice 😉

Arderin is a feisty Vampyre that doesn’t really do authority and is a constant bane to her brothers.

There is hilarity, there is banter, and there is sadness.

And Devon delivers Rebecca’s story with such passion, I tend to listen to the audio for far to long😉
