Audiobook Review On Night's Honor, (Elder Races #7)
Rated it
On the run from her
former employer, Tess knows that she’s vulnerable on her own amongst the
Elder Races. That’s why she decides to audition to become the human
attendant of a powerful Vampyre of the Nightkind demesne. But while her
position affords her the safety she seeks, her protector turns out to be
more than she bargained for.
The right-hand man of the Nightkind King, Xavier del Torro is both terrifying and alluring. While his true nature frightens Tess, she can’t ignore the appeal of his innate sense of integrity and self-restraint. Thrown into Xavier’s world, Tess must quickly learn to navigate the dangers—both to her life and to her heart. But the biggest threat comes from her own past….

Tess
Graham is a computer whiz/expert, number crunchin, multi-lingual genius
who works for a Djinn in a Vegas Casino. Tess knows things, things that
are dangerous for her health if her Djinn boss Malface, were ever to
find out. That day has come. Tess stuck her nose in someone elses
business and really pissed of Malface, now she's on the run. Xavier del
Toro, a high ranking vampire is looking for a new attendant, and
according to vampire law, you fuck with a vampires attendant, you fuck
with said vampire. Seeing this as her only way to survive Malface's
wrath, Tess desperately seeks any vampires employment during the open
audition. With a give no fucks attitude, and I'm smarter than everyone
in this room statement, she is quickly snatched up by Xavier. Will
Xavier regret his choice and end up killing her himself, or will Tess
win him over with her fucked up argumentative charm?
My
intro for this book was totally called for. Tess's character in this
story is quite uncalled for. I'm not sure how else to put it. She is the
one seeking help, for a wrong she tried to right. She is the one that
is a mere human, no powers, no magic, no immortality. And yet she goes
to Xavier's estate with an attitude. She has a superiority complex about
her, arguing with everyone about everything, kinda like I did when I
was a teenager, lol.. I know everything and you're stupid, right!
Despite this personality conflict I have with her, I like her. She is
smart, she backs up what she dishes out, and she is a quick thinker.
Tess means well, she does have a heart, and solid distinction with
what's right and wrong. Although the main reason Tess ends up working
for Xavier is because of the story line about Malface, the real story is
a love story, Xavier and Tess's love story. During the course of six
weeks, both Xavier and Tess get to know each other, and Xavier helps
Tess conquer her fears. Each day that goes by, each lesson learned, each
conversation reveals something personal and brings them closer to each
other. When the time comes for Tess to shit or get off the pot, a plan
is formed and the action portion of the book begins!
The
majority of the story takes place at Xavier's estate with his human
attendants while Tess trains. We do have some short appearances by the
fae, and other vampires, but the story is about Tess whom is human. I
realize this series is about The Elder Races, which are groups of
immortal, magical beings so therefore this particular book may seem
slow, or even boring to some, but I loved it! Their was nothing boring
or slow about the story for me, and I totally heart Tess and Xavier. I
think their story and how they fell in love felt natural, honest, even
sweet at times. For any true romance junkie, you too will love this
story! Happy reading my romantic friends ;)
Narrator Review
Sophie
Eastlake, my girl! I only have wonderful things to say about Sophie and
her God given talent! Sophie narrates for several other books that I
have had the pleasure of listening to, as well as the Elder Races
Series, and I still love, love, love her! She delivers quality, in both
her performance and recording. You will not regret any audiobook you get
with Sophie as the narrator. I whole heartedly give 5 Fangs to Sophie.
