Publisher's summary
Enter Qil, a member of a brutish race of aliens known for their violent natures and retractable armor-like scales. He's tall, with broad shoulders and spikes that can jut out from his body. Normally, his people keep to themselves on their own planet, but Qil is on the run. He killed his own clan chief for being involved in horrible black market deals, including the sale of his own people.
When Jade and Qil's paths cross, it's clear that they are from two very different worlds. But as they work together to uncover a dangerous conspiracy, they begin to realize that they may have more in common than they thought. Will their unlikely partnership be enough to take down the powerful forces working against them, or will they be crushed by the weight of the secrets they uncover? Find out in this thrilling sci-fi adventure.

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

Short and engaging listen
Unlike the others in this series this 3rd book takes you on a bit of a action rollercoaster without having the ending fizzle to an end.
Again, I must say that for a virtual narration, it's really not a pain to listen to. It's not the most emotive but it is not at all bad.
The story was neatly plotted given the length of the book. It's an easy listen that gives you a dose of action, steamy romance, and sci-fi.
My only gripe is that this author and others in this genre always fail to display on page the sweet retribution to the antagonists that readers/listeners really want to see/hear. We want to see the evil dudes knocked off their asses so we can cheer.
Overall, this is an engaging story.
