Born of Fury by Sherrilyn Kenyon

5.0

This is probably my favorite of the series (tied with the next book, Born of Defiance). The storyline starts a few months after the previous book, Cloak & Silence.

Kenyon typically writes strong female characters, but I found Sumi particularly endearing here. Hauk has been a great secondary character over the previous books and it’s so great for him to get his HEA. With half of the book set on a mostly-deserted planet, and despite being with Darice & Thia, Hauk & Sumi have a lot of one on one time to get close. There’s a bit of a fated-mates type situation going on, but not anything that takes away from their decision to be together.

Once they meet up with the Sentella - it’s an awesome catch-up on all the characters. The banter between them all is always fun and Sumi fits right in. I love that “the big finale” fight scene centers around Sumi.

Throughout the book I appreciate the balance of action, suspense, romance. This is one I’ve listened to many, many times.

Fred Berman’s narration is great. He has distinct voice for all the characters and his handling of all the various emotional parts is spot on.
