    About this audiobook

    More powerful than ever, the Guardians of Eternity are facing their greatest challenge yet: a war within their ranks. Their future is in the hands of one rebel vampire, who must choose between loyalty and love . . .

    Blessed with an even more compelling allure than most vampires, Chiron has made a fortune in the human world, creating an empire of resorts and casinos. Since the betrayal and imprisonment of his master, he has existed outside the order of the Guardians, trusting no one. But now, the new vampire king has given him a peace offering: a scroll that could free his master. Following the relic's magic leads him to a demon hotel deep in the Everglades, a lush paradise owned by a mysterious and mesmerizing woman . . .

    As far as Lilah knows, she's lived her entire life within the confines of her enchanted estate. Memories of her own past are elusive and cloaked in shadows. Even Chiron can't figure out exactly what she is, and if her intoxicating beauty is his destiny or an illusion drawing him ever closer to his demise-or perhaps to an even more tormenting choice, between his master and his mate . . .

    Contains mature themes.

      It is great to get back to the Guardians Of Eternity once again. We find Styx making amends for the horrors caused by the former insane Anasso by offering Chiron, who was once a warrior, clans member and now a Rebel in exile, clues to discovering where his master has been imprisoned. As Chiron sets out to find his master Tarak, a powerful lieutenant to the previous Anasso who was hidden away in captivity when he dared to confront him about his activities. Of course he is accompanied by Levet, so graciously on loan from Styx. It leads him to an isolated supernatural hotel in Florida and his fated mate. But the circumstances surrounding her and the key to his master's prison is more sinister and complicated than he ever imagined. Advanced Review Copy provided for voluntary review consideration.

      This is book 13 in the Guardians of Eternity series. I have read a lot of books in this series but not all. Even though I was unfamiliar with these characters, this book works well as a stand alone. Styx, king of the vampires, discovers some information that proves the previous king was involved in the betrayal of another vampire. He passes the info to Chiron so that he can try to find and free his former master and right a wrong. Chiron reluctantly accepts the loan of the king’s annoying gargoyle and sets off in search of the key to finding his master. Being the owner of a string of luxury hotels he is surprised by the exclusive, private and magical hotel that caters to demons. He encounters the beautiful owner and her ogress manager who definitely are harboring secrets. He doesn’t know who to trust or where to look for the key as he finds danger along with a little romance. This is a quick read with not a lot of depth but if you are looking for a vampire romance, this is it. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an arc in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.
