Hunted Warrior by Lindsey Piper
Series: The Dragon Kings
Publisher: Pocket Books (April 28, 2015)
ISBN-13: 978-1451695939
Demonic gladiators, ruthless mafia villains, and a race on the brink of distinction: What will become of them? One proud leader wields his power to unlock dark mysteries in the third book in this fierce, sensual new paranormal romance series.
When the head of the Five Clans of the Dragon Kings wants something, he gets it. Raised among the most privileged of his dying race, Malnefoley conceals a devastating tragedy from his youth. Now, many call him the Usurper because of his unconventional rise to power. His influence is waning while the Dragon Kings must solve the puzzle of their slow extinction. So when a particularly important captive escapes his compound in the Greek mountains, Malnefoley leaves nothing to chance. She is his prisoner to retrieve.
The woman is known as the Pet, a former associate of a sadistic doctor from the Asters, a human crime cartel. Her loyalties cannot be trusted, even when she claims to hold the secret to conception—an invaluable secret for a race unable to procreate. Neither can her unique gift from the Great Dragon be believed. She’s a soothsayer, able to see glimpses of the future. Her quest is to find and save a Cage warrior on the verge of her first match—a young woman whose destiny is bound to a timeless prophecy.
Malnefoley has no respect for the ancient superstitions that brought about his childhood trauma. His only goal is to return the Pet to his compound and use her knowledge for the betterment of their people. Yet her restless energy and raw sensuality are as intriguing as her predictions about the rise of the Great Dragon. He dares not trust the crafty fugitive’s loyalties, but as their treacherous chase turns passionate, can he even trust himself?
My Thoughts on Hunted Warrior by Lindsey Piper:
For a genre that I do not usually read, I found myself reading this one from cover to cover in one day. The storyline is a mixture of mythology and fantasy set in today’s time. It was weird getting used to the “language” with the different names and different world that they exist in, but once I got past the first few chapters and understood the concept, it started flowing well.
Since this is a third novel in the series, it probably would have helped me had I read the first two, but the author included enough back story for me to keep up and not feel lost. This book is full of action, fast paced drama, and excitement. I was sucked in and did not stop!
I have to say that this author is excellent at describing her characters and the surrounding details of the story. I felt like I could see Mal, and let me just say, he sounds HOT. This is definitely a romance based novel and the steamy scenes were awesome. To be able to pull in the reader like she does is a mark of a great author in my opinion.
For me, paranormal is usually last on my list of hot reads, but I will be watching for more from this author. I really enjoyed this new release.
