About this listen

A vrisha arrives in Grace's underwater city.

He takes over one of the substations, forcing the workers out. At the whim of her job, Grace is unwillingly chosen to go below, maintain the station, and stay with the horned, devilish alien.

That is how she comes to encounter Xora. An alien born from a race of dominant fighters and fierce hunters. He is as terrifying as he is mysterious. While also commanding, stubborn, unrelenting . . . and oddly mesmerizing. As her fear slips away, other emotions begin to take hold. And Grace finds she wants to know more.

Xora just wants to get off the cold, watery world as quickly as possible. Yet, despite his indifference to humans, he finds his attention captured by Grace. Against his own nature, he allows her near him. He's just too . . . curious.

For Grace, working with Xora could be dangerous. But when he desires her help on a secret mission, Grace can't refuse. Even if it could mean putting her job and life (and heart) at risk.

For Xora, Grace's help could be his best chance at getting home. Assuming he can keep his growing feelings for the bold woman from making him lose sight of why he's on Oceanus in the first place.

Contains mature themes.

I love Olivia Riley, and this is a fantastic book. It is funny, sweet, and sexy ;) if you enjoy demon looking aliens look no further. The narrator was excellent as well! I am excited about this new series.

Love it

I liked the Dark World Mates series, so I naturally started into this book expecting a decent plot line, chemistry and a bit of romance... but this was different.
I like the Vrisha and how this new series reveals a teensy more about their people and culture, but it fell a bit...flat.
I kept waiting for Xora to show more interest and see some more chemistry between them, but Grace was making all of the effort. You find that Xora was learning a bit in private about humans, but he was a bit of a jerk to Grace and aloof... then suddenly he discovers he's attracted to her, there's some spice and 'poof' they're bound for life -_-
There wasn't really a strong plot line either - no real nemesis, just Grace getting to know Xora.
In the past, Olivia Riley wrote decently about the relationships developing amidst danger and fighting the bad guys and how the couple overcomes great adversity, but this book was not like that.
Still, despite the 'meh' feeling of this book, I still will go to book 2.
...Good narration, though!!!

okayest Vrisha story so far
