This is the second audiobook in the Aldebarian Alliance and it picks up exactly where The Lasaran ended. While this is a spinoff of the Guardian Immortals series, this series holds its own and takes us into deep space where we meet new worlds, new races, and danger.

I love this series from the ships and technology to the characters, camaraderie, humor and passionate romance.

Eliana is this wonderful combination of heart, warrior and honesty. Not spiteful, she just blurts out her thoughts. From her appetite to her skill set she made me laugh, cheer and hope for her happily ever after. I adored Commander Dagon from his romantic side to the respect he gives Eliana. His crew respect him, but I also loved how Eliana softened him. Secondary characters from invaders to crew members added humor, tension, and a second romantic thread.

Duvall transported me and listening added a whole new level of enjoyment. Kirsten Potter did a stellar job of capturing Eliana’s vivacious personality. I loved the voice she gave to Dagon, the crew and others. Her pacing, tone and vocal abilities made an already amazing story amazing. Duvall’s writing style transfers to audio well from dialogue to imagery.

While this is Eliana’s story, there is an overall ARC involving a threat to all worlds, including Earth. You’ll want to grab your earbuds and download this one! This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
