A story of compassion and love!

This was a spectacular edition to the series.
I liked getting into the minds of Sean and Alexei. I loved that we get more of them in this spinoff.
I loved listening to this action packed gem.
Greg Boudreaux did an amazing audio delivery for this one.

A much needed addition to the series

I love the Metahuman series and I always felt that between In the Blood and In the Requiem not much attention was given to the aftermath of what Sean and Alexei went through. Thankfully this novella was written to give us a feel of the mind space of Alexei and Sean. The POV is for the bigger part Sean's, since his torture was mostly psychological, except the dental work, thus having a bigger impact on his psyche and more to work through. I wish that Alexei's state of mind wasn't summed up in "he's trained to overcome things like that" and it's the reason I'm giving the story 3 stars. Alexei's POV mostly entails his desire to help Sean and be there for him no matter what. Greg's always a joy to listen to, various voices, accents and emotions! His Alexei is especially delicious!!!

I received an ARC from Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest review.

Love And Healing

This is the first book in The Metahuman Files: Classified Series. Although it is a shorter book that bridges book 4 and book 5 of the Metahuman Files Series. So, it is really Book 4.5. And you really do need to read the previous books especially book 4 In the Blood. They are totally worth reading and you will understand Out of the Ashes better for it. A sensational book the writing was amazing. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the book. I found the story and characters wonderful. The characters were well developed and thought out. This book focuses on Sean and Alexei as the MC’s of this book and their healing and continuing with life from book 4. There was humor, argument, mission, London, training, psychiatrist, support, frustration and so much more in this book.

Here is a quote from the book, “Sitting up, Alexei leaned over and carefully lifted Sean’s hand to his mouth, brushing his lips over warm knuckles. “Ya tebya lyublyu,” Alexei whispered. It felt more like a confession now than at any time before when they’d said the words to each other. He still meant them with every fiber of his being.”. There is more but you will need to read the book which I can highly recommend this book and the series. The narration was wonderful not monotone and used different voices for the characters. I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book for an honest review.

I’m not leaving

A really lovely addition to “In the Blood” book! I’m extremely gratified to get more of Sean and Alexi. “In the Blood” was full of actions and thrilling excitements. Although I loved it, I felt like I didn’t get enough of these two MCs so I’m very happy to get this shortie.

Sean has major guilt when it comes to Alexi. And he still has nightmares which he dreamt about hurting Alexi and it seriously brought a rift and so much tension between their relationship. It was so fulfilling to see him pull out of this pit himself and our men went on a mission together again. It wouldn’t be Hailey Turner if there isn’t a little bit of excitement. Loved it.

Great Listen

I received an ARC of this audio for my honest review. This is such an amazing series and I am SO glad Hailey kept it going with this new series. I really enjoyed hearing about Sean and Alexei and after what happened to them in the last book I’m glad to see that they are trying to get over it.

sooo good! loved Alexei and Sean!

I loved Alexei and Sean!! Alexei is still recovering from when he was held as a POW. Sean's recovery is taking longer but he's still harboring guilt. This was fantastic!! I was so happy to hear more about Alexei and Sean. Greg Boudreaux did a fantastic narration, I felt like I was right there with them.

reclaiming love

These guys. Sean and Alexei are special and fantastic. This is their story of them finding themselves again and regrouping as a couple after everything that happened to them. Greg Boudreaux did a fantastic job as always and brought the guys off of the pages and into your heart.

I enjoyed listening to this quick story and while it is not a standalone, it and the rest of the series are fantastic.
