I am pretty sure this book is available via Kindle unlimited but I purchased it.
Longer review to come shortly, but I want to re-read it again now. But read the series in order! Apr 15, CC rated it liked it. Rounding up due to the overall storyline I did not have much interest in these characters going in. So no surprise it was not that great for me.
Just could not get into it. There was actually some huge stuff that happened in this story with regards to the overarching story so it is important to read. The ending was good but there was a lot of filler and downtime in this book. With characters I still do not care about. Nov 12, Chappy rated it it was amazing Shelves: What an amazing redemption for Ashrael. This book almost felt like a conclusion I'll have to check what's up next for the Dark Planet Warriors. Dec 26, ValerieC rated it liked it Shelves: This is one of the better space alien romance series I've read in a while.
Start at book 1, because I liked the first couple if books the best. This one was good, but the H is very complex and withdrawn I liked the last book much more. If you are expecting a lot of hot smex you won't find it here. There are a couple of brief scenes but I get the feeling that this is the last book in the series. Except for a book about Zyara, I don't know w This is one of the better space alien romance series I've read in a while. Except for a book about Zyara, I don't know where this would go from here.
Dec 24, Jacqueline rated it liked it. Decent little sci fi romance. It wasn't very in depth but it was enjoyable. I liked the hero. Blind assassin who was unable to speak. This was the sixth in a series. Dec 11, Shasha rated it it was amazing Shelves: What a delicious SFR! I didn't even read the blurb so I had no idea which characters would be the MCs. I was pleasantly surprised, then delighted. The Silent One and Noa!
With both of their POV, we see them try to deal with their problems and then slowly meet. I was happy with their growth as individuals and with their relationship. The plot also goes where the previous books have been setting up for--the Dark Planet! Mature content read in KU. Sep 02, Ariel Marie rated it it was amazing. Addictive series I have just read two of these books back to back! I'm hooked to this series! I don't want it to end! Aug 17, Cc rated it really liked it Shelves: Noa and Ashrael Noa's brain was operated on; it changed her and she doesn't like it.
She didn't like that it had robbed her of her old life, robbed her of silence - she can hear everyone-around-her's thoughts. She's found a spot in the desert where she finds absolute peace. After several visits to her spot she finds someone in her head. How can this be and who is it? Ashrael, called The Silent One, is a Kodrolian asassin with a mindbond that forces him to kill The General and bring his mate back h Noa and Ashrael Noa's brain was operated on; it changed her and she doesn't like it.
Ashrael, called The Silent One, is a Kodrolian asassin with a mindbond that forces him to kill The General and bring his mate back home to his Dark Planet. Yet when he contacts the mind of the woman in the desert he looses the compulsion to kill his target. Who is she and why can she stop his mindbond. This was a good twist on the mated couple. I am really enjoying this Dark Planet Warriors Series. Jan 14, Kimberlee rated it it was amazing. I'm so glad the author to the time to write this beautiful story of the Silent One Assassin and the beautiful Telepath that the SynCorp had been torturing.
They make such a beautiful pair. Their stories so sad but so wonderfully woven together. I'm excited for the future to see what happens to the mighty Kordolian Empire going forward. May 15, Kelly rated it it was amazing Shelves: He was a MESS when we first met him and it took time for him to work through the conditioning he'd been subjected to and find something to focus on that wasn't all about mayhem and murder.
That thing he ended up focusing on? Noa, the human experimented on by SynCorp who now has a whole lot of crazy going on in her head. On the plus side, Ashrael has been trained in controlling the very thing driving Noa batty. Which is a major plus for her, because now she has someone who can teach her the ins and outs of not letting her newfound power get the best of her. I really, REALLY liked Ashrael's transformation from a brainwashed assassin to someone willing to face down anything to keep his special someone safe. He seriously came a long way and it was great. Also, his complete focus on Noa was sex-ay.
Assassins have insane focus, man. My soft spot for emotionally stunted warriors who fight hard and love harder is endless, it seems. I'm all in and I'm planning on staying this way. Nov 03, Lyndi W. Again, jumping into a well-established series like this means there are a few things that just don't really compute, but they are so unimportant to the current story that I don't feel like I'm missing out on much.
But the romance was on point, the conflicts were varied, and the characters were both developed really well. I honestly have no complaints. Actually, by the end of chapter two I was fist pumping because the heroine gets some crazy superpower and is like "I'm gonna learn how to rock this Again, jumping into a well-established series like this means there are a few things that just don't really compute, but they are so unimportant to the current story that I don't feel like I'm missing out on much.
Actually, by the end of chapter two I was fist pumping because the heroine gets some crazy superpower and is like "I'm gonna learn how to rock this shit" instead of the typical "omg my life is ruined, this is sooo hard" nonsense. This was a win for me. Jan 02, Cindy rated it it was amazing.
Surreal I think this is the most surreal part of this series. From Noa's music to Ash's near death experience it was spiritual in its intensity. Noa is from the 3rd book and one of the survivors saved when Abbey was abducted and found. I was hoping we would see her again.
I loved her story and admired her strength. She has the most intense of the Kordolians. Ash is honed to be a killing machine. The others are tame compared to him. Tarak is probably his only equal. Scary guy but what I love about Surreal I think this is the most surreal part of this series.
Scary guy but what I love about this series is how the fiercest males are struck down by these beautiful and brave women. May 16, Andrea Koopaloop rated it really liked it Shelves: Mar 10, Amanda rated it it was amazing. Dec 11, Nicole Timmer rated it it was amazing. Another great edition to the series, which I absolutely love. I was so excited to see a new book by this author. Noa and Ash were perfect together. Their 'powers' complimented each other so well.
It was amazing to see them heal each other.
Noa's gifts in particular were very intense. Will the next book be located on Kythia after its near destruction? Back on Earth with another rescued patient? Looking forward to it whatever it is. Dec 27, Sommertime rated it liked it Shelves: I liked the alternate storyline with the silent ones instead of the same old Kardolians.
I've enjoyed this series and look forward to more by this author. Dec 13, Rosa Maria Garcia rated it it was amazing. Absolutely Wonderful This is such an awesome book with just as interesting characters? This is an adventure you will not be able to put down? Filled with steamy romance, suspense, and a very highly recommended series. Jun 27, Sonja rated it really liked it Shelves: Despite being incredibly aggravated with Noa at the beginning, I ended up quite enjoying this one.
Though that probably had a lot to do with Tarak acting like the badass General I love so much again. Oh how I missed this side of him. Noa was one of the humans rescued along with Abbey and the experiments done on her gave her a sort of telepathy. But it turns out it was more than that. She now can harness and detect the same energy forces that the Empire's Silent Ones can.
It kind of annoyed me the Despite being incredibly aggravated with Noa at the beginning, I ended up quite enjoying this one. It kind of annoyed me the big deal that was made about how she used to be some huge pianist before being taken. She even says some crap about having the world in the palm of her hand because of her skill. I'm sorry, I don't care how good you are at playing the piano, you most assuredly do not have that sort of power.
Most people wouldn't even know who the hell she was. She hates being stuck in the compound despite being treated well because she can't stand the overwhelming thoughts of all those around her. Her headphones help drown it out, but only to a point. She she sneaks away to find some peace and quiet in the middle of nowhere when she can. What she doesn't know yet is that that pocket of silence isn't because of the distance.
It's because of the captured Silent One near by. Ashrael is the Silent One that Tarak cut off his arm and captured.
Despite Tarak's confidence that he will break the mindbond that compels Ashrael to kill him, Ashrael knows the most dangerous thing at this point is any sort of hope. So he bides his time and plays along. After all, what other choice does he have at this point? So he's locked up in his prison when he detects Noa's presence and is immediately curious.
She has no idea of what she can do and her control is non existent, giving Ashrael a chance at escaping. Too bad he didn't count on her determination and power, making it pretty much backfire on him. With Noa's display of power there, she has now come to Tarak's attention. And of course, he's going to use any and all that he has to to get what he wants. Along with another like Ashrael, Tarak hopes that together they will be able to break that annoying mindbond on Ashrael.
Infinity's Embrace (Dark Planet Warriors, #6) by Anna Carven
