First Thought when Finished: Holy hotness batman! Chained by Night by Larissa Ione ranks in the top 3 books by her that I have read.
Story Thoughts: OMG I love where this series is heading or at least where I think it is heading. With Larissa she could be hooking me left and then sending me right. She is sneaky like that! However, what I really love is all the Native American heritage tie-ins this series has. It played such a huge part in Chained by Night. I was just giddy listening to it! The only part that caused the story to be 4.50 instead of 5 I will mention way down below in a spoiler area (so you are warned now not to click on it).
Character Thoughts: HUNTER—no, wait a minute. I have to say the most kick ass character in this story was Alyin. She had one brilliant story arc and never (not for one single moment) did I feel any kind of pity for her. She was strong, smart, and beautifully written. She seriously rocked it! Hunter is HOT. He can wear his loin cloth around anytime he wants too. I won’t complain a bit. The fact that he is super alpha, extremely loyal, and unbelievably awesome at leading play a part in his awesomeness too. However, I am just going to stick with loin cloth. Have to say, there are several people I would love to get stories in this series. I looked and no hint at what is coming down the pike. I think that is cruel and unusual punishment for the needy gal that I am! I am hoping Baddon but I am guessing he needs at least another book before he is settle down ready.
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Amy Landon / Length: 11 hrs and 40 mins
I thought Amy Landon did a good job with the narration. I think she nailed Alyin and even nailed Rasha. I wish that a guy had done Hunter’s voice but she did a pretty good job with his voice too. The pacing was excellent and emotions were spot on!
Final Thoughts: Count down has begun to book 3!

I read this one when it was released and I really enjoyed. I think this is the last PNR I read… after I read this one I got into a PNR slump…. This book didn’t have anything to do with my slump though. Maybe I need another book just as good as this one to get out of it.
I should try more books by her…one day
Amy Landon is the reason I listened to most of this book. I started out with a print copy from the publisher but when my audio came I finished it off in audio.
I have this one waiting for me in my tbr…now thinking I should do the audio version instead… hmmm
I need more audiobooks in my life….but alas….I am sooooooooooo picky on the voice person. Mmmmm
Ohh this series sounds good and it’s just getting started..yay! I haven’t read anything by this author so maybe I will try this series. 🙂
I have this one on my iPod to listen to very soon. Can’t wait.
Now I need to meet Alyin. Top three eh? You are adding 3 books to my tbr pile. .lol
Super awesome, right?! In my Top for the year!
I have read some outstanding reviews for this one and I still have an ARC of book one to read. I must get after it.
Book 1 wasn’t as strong but it was a great lead-in to the series. I really like the world!
Wow, this sounds like a book that might give a girl some hot flashes! 😉 I think I’ll have to pick it up!
He was all alpha male and very swoon-inducing 🙂
