Nevermore was a very good story, but I was sure it was going to be the last in the Crossbreed series - and I don't really understand why there will be more books. Don't get me wrong - I love the characters, the world, and everything going on here - but it just feels like it's being dragged out a little bit now.

There was a lot going on, especially because Raven was able to spend some time with a special someone she hadn't seen in a long time. And that was definitely balm for the heart (both hers and mine!). With some new players on the scene, there were also some drama that couldn't get avoided.

A few years back I won Dannika Dark's Seven series on Audio. Best dang thing that ever happen. Since then I have devoured her backlist and impatiently wait for each new release. Her series all take place in the same world but feature different supernatural characters. If you are new to this author, I recommend beginning with the Mageri series as a secondary character there becomes a key character in Crossbreed.

As soon as I got this audiobook I listened. Despite my best efforts to extend my listening and therefore my enjoyment the events of Blackout, the previous novel, and the beginning of Nevermore, made that virtually impossible.

Raven is visiting her Da. She and Christian aren't speaking and trouble is coming. They say bad things happen in threes and so it is in Nevermore. However, Dark balances it all out with snark, character grow, humor and tender moments involving different characters. I love Keystone and while most of this story happens outside of the compound; we enjoy moments within its walls.

I feared that miscommunication, stubbornness and outsiders would put a giant kink in the relationship between Raven and Christian. Both have endured so much. I admit the need for assurance kept me listening, even as I worried about the threat from the lions and a bitchy vamp. Then the whole thing with Keystone and Victor. Eek gads!

There were funny moments like the barbs between Christian and Raven's Dad or the run in Christian had at a certain BBQ establishment. Hilarious! I am hoping Dark has many more stories for these characters. Fans of Cecy Robson's Weird Girls, Ilona Andrews' Hidden Legacy series and Patricia Briggs' Alpha & Omega series will love diving into Crossbreeds.

I would be remiss if I didn't recommend and rave about the narration of Nicole Poole. Poole brings these characters, the situations and all the emotions to life. This series is perfect for audio and Poole adds another level of enjoyment. She is the voice of Christian and Raven. From accents to snark she makes me giddy.
