Publisher's summary

When the road forks, how do you know which path is the right one? Raven Black hunts evildoers for fun, but her vigilante justice isn't the only reason she's hiding from the law. Half vampire, half mage, she's spent years living as a rogue to stay alive. When a Russian shifter offers her a job in his covert organization hunting outlaws, dignity and a respectable career are finally within her grasp. The catch? Her new partner is Christian Poe - a smug, handsome vampire whom she'd rather stake than go on a stakeout with. They're hot on the trail of a human killer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. One misstep during her probationary period could jeopardize Raven's chance at redemption, and her partner would love nothing more than to see her fail. Dark secrets, unexpected twists, and a blurred line between good and evil will keep you on the edge of your seat. Will Raven find the courage to succeed, or will she give in to her dark nature?

Keystone Was A Decent Spin Off But.....

.....I didn't feel it was a solid follow up to the original series.

Dannika Dark has a created a unique world of mages, vampires and interesting characters; however, I was a little disappointed with this spin off. The story is dialogue driven, slow to develop, and it felt more like a YA story. The romance between Raven and Christian Poe was lacking, and I really didn't feel like it was going anywhere. I was hoping for more romance, chemistry and attraction between the character, but instead there was a lot of dialogue and drama. I really liked her other series Seven Years, and absolutely loved Risk. For Dannika Dark fans, this is probably a must listen, but I'm on the fence if I will be continuing the series.

As usual, Nicole Poole does an excellent job narrating. I loved all the different accents she gave the characters.

I used my credit for this story, and kinda wished I had waited to see if it would have been offered as a whispersync deal or on sale.

And she did it again! Another fantastic book.

What I really loved about this book is the fact that it dove more into the world around the characters. I got the chance to get to know a little about each breed and their characteristics, even listening to some I've never heard of before. I believe this book would be a good first book to read going into the series blind. And as for the narrator Nicole Poole is my absolute favorite narrator ever!

Disappointing

Great story line if the heroine wasn't a sad excuse for a heroine. Has immortal life but hasn't figured out how to live on her own and thrive. That alone doesn't show much personal fortitude. Then begs to be liked and "part of the club" and just like a kicked dog keeps coming begging with her tail between her legs. Oh, did I mention that she is celibate while her "love" interest is a man whore (even when he knows she's watching) but doesn't want her to have anyone. The book drags on with more begging on her part, and more rejection on the other part. Such a sad excuse of a heroine. This is my first book by this author and most definitely my last. I am stuck in a place in the book where listening further will probably put me in a foul mood but quitting before I'm finished is against my character. If I do force myself to finish I will comeback and adjust my review accordingly. I just wanted to warn others about what they will be getting if they purchase this book. Serious buyers remorse!

5 Keystone Stars


It’s no secret I am a huge fan/supporter of Dannika Dark’s work. I love how she draws you in to her worlds.
I never want to leave.

When I first found out about the new series I was over the moon with anticipation. I can honestly say this is going to be a contender of which of her series is going to be my favorite.

This is different from the other series but still takes place in the same world. And we get more Christian Poe! He has always intrigued me but I love that you don’t have to have read the other series to understand this book or even Christian.

Raven is a character I want to be like, she is fearless. Maybe a little lonely sure but she is a fighter and I love that about a female character, she doesn't make excuses.
Her luck changes off and on throughout this book and you can’t help but be rooting for her.
Trust and loyalty is the name of the game and learning to trust who and what you are.
We get to see some fun and interesting characters I can’t wait for more.

I feel like I need to do the grabby hands I don’t want to wait! This book really is everything and more than I thought it was going to be.

I lovvvvvve Nicole Poole’s narration of any and all books she has done. She has a way of making each character different and unique you never feel like you don’t know who is in the driver’s seat so to speak.
The emotion she can put into her voice is amazing to me. I am a fan.
Worth the Credit, worth the money, worth it all.

I highly recommend if you are a paranormal lover because this book will suck you in and not let you go, in all the good ways.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

What a wonderful beginning!

I loved this book. It is a great start to a new series! Dannika has don't it again! I loved Raven and how she was able to accept who she is as a crossbreed. The chemistry between her and Christian was so electric! It was also full of humor! I can't wait to read the next book and see what happens! ❤❤❤❤❤

Another great Dannika Dark book!!

I have read every book by Dannika Dark and this one was just as good!! I love the characters! The only bad part is having to wait for the next book in the series to come out.

Christian .... Nico..... Raven...

I absolutely love dannika dark everything she writes but I have always had a soft spot for Christian. Is this going to be the story for his happy ending or is he going to step back and in this series will Raven go to Nico. I guess I will have to wait for the rest of the series. I really like all the new characters it is set in the world that dannika dark is already made just a new set of characters they all work together to get the bad guys that the law can't quite catch I'm sure there will be several interesting storylines on this one. let's see who is on team Christian or team Nico I am pretty sure that is going to float back and forth a little. awesome read is always love narration can't say good enough stuff about this duet.

Great new series !

loved the characters, performance and story-for the most part. a couple of hiccups, with some implausible plot points, but forgiveable.
