The story of Jason and Medea, in the larger story of the Argonauts, was another one I had seen in class, but never read myself completely. If you're unfamiliar with the story though, this might not be the best place to start as it sort of starts in the middle and these Little Black Classics have a tendency not to bring you up to speed but rather throw you right into the story.

That being said, I enjoyed it a lot and it made me want to read the full thing.

@XpressoTours, @CB_Bauer, #Fantasy, #YoungAdult, 4 out of 5 (very good)

Rhodes is the fourth book in the Angelbound Offspring series, and continues the story featuring Rhodes and Zinnia.

Zinnia is still living in the tower and visited by Rhodes whenever possible, which is difficult in itself as he is currently undergoing training. Huntress and Kaps, plus all the band members, help with Zinnia's idea on how to end things once and for all.

Rhodes is definitely a continuation to Zinnia, so even if you don't read the others (but why?), you should definitely read that one, otherwise you won't have the faintest idea about all the subtleties and nuances that are there. The world-building is just as good as all the others, and the connection between Rhodes and Zinnia is stronger than ever. Kaps doesn't play as big a part in this book, which I was thankful for. A favourite character of mine is Bash though. I would love for him to have a bigger role.

All in all, this was a great addition to the series that I thoroughly enjoyed. I can't wait to continue the series, and have no hesitation in recommending both the book and the series.

More shenanigans at the omega auction, but this time there are dragons!

All of the packs have kind of melded together. They are all so deeply involved in each others lives thanks to the auction they might as well be one giant pack.

Cyan, a dragon omega is purchased by Trey, a dragon who seems more concerned with growing the dragon population than an actual relationship. But when Cyan begins to waste a way due to his alpha's neglect and the abuse from his caregiver, Trey quickly learns that he cannot deny his feelings and does everything in his power to heal Cyan and win his heart.

Another good edition to the series.

The stories and packs continue to intertwine within this series.

The omega auction is a hot mess and I can't understand why it hasn't been shut down, but the we'd have no shifter drama!  In this we have Kenny who had spent the last four years being adored and spoiled by his alpha.  They have several children and another on the way when suddenly Kenny's alpha arranges for him to be sent to the auction, pregnancy be damned.

Of course this wasn't actually the case.  There was backstabbing, betrayals, lies and a bitter jealous contracted bond mate behind it all.  It takes some convincing from Collin, his alpha, to convince Kenny that he is loved and wanted.  But if he does return home, it will leave Drey, the alpha who purchased him at auction, without an omega.  F.ortunately for the couple, Drey ships it

There is so much going on in these stories, I applaud the author for keeping it all straight, weaving it between all the different story lines, and not losing the actual story.  I have been listening to these audio novellas on my commute to/from work and on breaks and I have been enjoying them.  Looking forward to the next twist in the story.

This doesn't exactly pick up where the previous book left off, but they are connected and the stories converge do converge.  In this installment when meet Colby and not-so-average omega.  He's large, strong, and aggressive, which is why he found himself in chains at the Omega Auction with little to no hope of being purchased.  Insert Rafe, alpha of a not-so-average pack and Colby is the perfect omega for him.

Of course there is angst and miscommunications, misunderstandings.  But what I like about this story more than the other is that there is action/adventure involved.  Omegas are being kidnapped and Rafe and his pack have been tasked by the shifter council to locate the ring and take it down.  There is also a missing pregnant omega from an allied pack thrown into the mix.  We meet up with characters from the first book in the series and meet a lot of new ones.  

I'm liking where the series is going so far and plan to continue.
