About this listen
EVERY MAN WANTS HER. MANY WANT TO KILL HER.
Good luck to them…
For the first time in her life, Sal has a place to belong, and it feels so right.
The iliri live in packs.
The Black Blades is hers.
But humans see them only as a military unit, and one with a little too much influence. To keep the "scrubbers" from gaining an advantage, humans will do anything - and none of it good. The only people they can trust are themselves.
But this time, they need help. Eight elite soldiers aren't enough to stop the bribe headed to Anglia. If that country gets two thousand kilos of steel, it'll change the tide of war, and the Conglomerate of Free Citizens will be caught in the middle.
The Black Blades have to trust someone, but their only options are humans. Hopefully, their "friends" aren't as dangerous as the enemy.
** A.H. Hadley is the fantasy persona of the international best selling author Auryn Hadley. Only the pen name has changed, the stories you'll enjoy have not changed.
Like all the books in this series, Rise of the Iliri is a complete epic science-fantasy novel, without a cliffhanger. Because of adult content, this may make it unsuitable for humans under 18.

Running to Summerpoint to avoid my failed love life may have seemed drastic, but I'd just inherited a house from a distant relative. The timing was perfect, almost like magic. But the cottage is in need of repairs, the place is in the middle of a forest, and I'm not used to small towns. Then I meet my new contractors. Sexy doesn't begin to describe them. The flirting flows easily, and while they're a well-established couple, it seems they may have room for more. Even better, these guys are quickly getting to be a lot more than just friends.

Story
Five years ago, I disappeared from the life I had and built this one. I spend my days and most of my nights on the line, helping my clients achieve their goals. They call me when they are in a jam or are getting ready to move on a target. I'm their information specialist. The woman in the chair. I'm their switchboard. Intelligence, electronic eyes, computer hacking—I do it all. My singular goal is to bring my clients home safely. Some clients are more special than others. We all play favorites. I know them, they've never seen me.

I can turn into a housecat. It’s a fun magic, except in a world filled with vampires and werewolves, it doesn’t exactly make me a powerhouse. Instead, the supernatural community has classified me as an outcast, which means one thing: picking on me is open season all day, every day. The local fae are the worst of all, and it’s during one of their regular “capture the cat-girl” sessions that I shift into my cat form and meet HIM for the first time.

After my plane was sabotaged and crashed into the jungle, I rescued five male survivors from the wreckage. I could have let them die, but no, I decided to pull their stupid carcasses from the wreckage. I’m immortal, not a monster. Yes, they’re hot; now is not the time to do something about that. The five sexy jaguar-shifters are on a mission to locate someone, a rare phoenix-shifter. Phoenix, the legendary creature, reborn every time it dies. Wait…could they be looking for me? It doesn’t matter since they walked away and left me to die in the Amazon rainforest.

They say you can never go back… ‘Course, I never wanted to return. It took me years to age out. Once I made it, I took off and never turned around. Trust me, there were only three reasons I managed to survive there as long as I did and they abandoned me as soon as they were able. I’d like to say I didn’t blame them, but that would be a lie. I had zero desire to return. Yet here I was, on the road to Northland chasing a story cause my editor told me kids were disappearing… again.

My name is Nova Stone and I was a ghost in my own life until a knock at the door changed my whole world. Applying for guardianship of my infant half-brother was a no brainer, even if I hadn't known he existed. But that was before I met his uncles; two pro ice hockey players, and a CEO. They wanted to take Huey home with them and they were willing to pay me millions of dollars for the privilege. When that didn't work, they managed to convince me that it would be better for my brother–and for me–if I moved into their Ann Arbor mansion.

For someone like me—an undocumented God child, indebted to the Underworld Assassination Guild—that means only one thing: A life in the shadows. Or so it should have been . . . until Mortal Gods Academy. Until them.

Love this series
Listening to this story seems to go so quickly! Before I knew it, book 2 was at its end. I could easily pick up where the audiobook left off and read book 3 on my kindle, but then I wouldn’t be able to do any multitasking. Really looking forward to the remaining books to make it to audio.

My favorite series EVER!
I have read more books in my life that I could never hope to count them. Hadley and the Illiri sit at the very top of my favorites list. I’ve read them all and I was over the moon THRILLED when I found it was being brought to life on audible. I’m checking back at least once a week waiting in the next in the series!

Love the Storyline
Auryn is a master of storytelling! I can immerse myself in anything she writes because her attention to detail is just that good. Ms Cato does an admirable job pushing thru so many dialect and vocal changes. I do wish these had been made dual narration but that's a personal preference, and not a knock on Ms Cato. Fabulous audiobook series!

This story is EPIC
I'm so glad that the ROTI series is finally coming out on Audible. I've read the complete series several times. Now I get to listen to the books as I cook and clean around the house.
This book 2 (Instinctual) was a lot easier to listen to once I got past the different accents which seem a bit more distracting in book 1.
Overall, excellent narration

Loyalty to do what is right
The narration was great to listen to. I love this story line and characters. The loyalty in the black blades go do what is good and right for all. The spotlight shown on those who are evil and want only harm instead of love and acceptance for those that are different.
