Acerca de esta escucha
Dane Gareis is a wealthy, reclusive young man with a traumatic past, but a spine of steel. When his father is killed in a mysterious plane crash, Dane carries on the family business and continues his passion for the very antiquity that got his father murdered - a golden sarcophagus belonging to an ancient cult known as the Ydrath.
Soon, the Ydrath threaten him as well, and Dane seeks to hire a bodyguard he can trust. Someone who can protect him, and someone who will respect his boundaries. While he gets the first two, the third requirement falls apart when he hires Sean Harding.
Sean Harding is an ex-detective with a sixth sense for danger. After his entire unit was murdered in a drug bust gone very wrong, he is a broken man who thinks only of revenge until he takes the job protecting the Gareis CEO.
Sean's attraction to the vulnerable Dane gives him new purpose, but his past is not escaped so easily, and his sixth sense tells him that there is more to the Ydrath than even Dane knows.

It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness.

If you could sum up The Artifact in three words, what would they be?
Complex, haunting, eerieWho was your favorite character and why?
Sean, the inner dialogue and perhaps the catalystHave you listened to any of Chris Patton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I adore Chris Patton's narration. He pauses in just the right place, delivers the dialogue crisp and full of emotion. I have begun looking at all the books I notice he narrates.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It was like a great old fashion horror movie. one where it wasn't just about mutilation, where the story rolled out with enough " mysterious incidents" to continually drive the story forward.Any additional comments?
X. Aratare writes a fascinating scintillating horror story, that also has haunting realistic characters with depths of intrigue and flaws . I'm looking forward to hearing the next installment.eerie , if a bit slow

Dane too is overcoming both a recent loss and his own horror story at the hands of someone he should have been able to trust, but now he finds himself the guardian of a mysterious artifact and in need of a bodyguard. What secrets does the artifact hold? Can Sean hold off the attacks on Dane's life? Will they be both be forever locked in their personal torments or are they brave enough to risk getting close to the other?
X. Aratare writes a beautiful story about overcoming trauma wrapped in an intriguing mystery. I love that it keeps the same setting and supporting characters as the Cursed series, although I think this may have come first. If you like paranormal romance you will love this!
