I'm now eagerly awaiting the release of the next book and hope that the narrator remains the same. The emotions evoked whilst listening to Bridget Bordeaux narrate this book were many and varied - she brought a whole to level to this emotional rollercoaster ride. Her power is unusual and at times frightening and one wonders if she will learn to control it better. Whilst Ana, short for Anastacia, is an Orphan with at first at least an unknown power who never expected to be chosen to represent her house. Haven is a trained Warrior with a Family Legacy to live up to. Both the characters are very different but they are also very well drawn which makes them totally believable. Although you don't have to know anything about Greek Mythology to enjoy this book as the authors tell you everything you need to know, if you are someone who has an interest in it you will certainly not find the story lacking The world-building was is very well done and the descriptions given make it easy to visualise everything.

Cruel Descendants - Hades House is Book One is a Greek Mythology Romance, it's the first part of a trilogy, so this book does end on a cliffhanger, which would normally put me off but this story is so good I just had to carry on listening and now will have to be patient and wait for the next book to reach audio to find out more answers. Having listened to all the books in the Blackwell Djinn series and loved them all I couldn't wait to listen to this new series by Nikki Kardnov and Cadence Price, an author I've not read before. If Haven and I don’t work together, we might lose more than our immortality, we might just lose our lives. In fact, he might just be my greatest ally, because there are worse monsters lurking in the shadows. There’s something off about this year’s competition though, a danger whispered about deep in the halls of Hades’s House. Every time I leave him, my stupid body wants more, but I can’t yield to him or his cruel lips. Even more annoying? My bad habit of running into Haven in the dark. If only I could make it work when I need it most. Haven Knightfall is the legacy pick everyone expects to win, but he’s never come up against a power like mine.

All that stands in my way is one sexy prince of Hades’s House who loves to torment me. Up for grabs is a spot among Hades’s elite inner circle. Once I was an unwanted child of Olympus, but now I’m fighting for my immortality in the competition of a lifetime. A powerful orphan, a sinfully sexy warrior, and a forbidden desire as cruel as the gods.
