Story
New Orleans is a hot mess.
Ancient feuds. Demonic forces bent on destruction. Oh, and apparently vampires are real.
Della didn't sign up for any of this. She didn't sign up for violence and mayhem in the streets of the Big Easy. She didn't sign up to be a magnet for an evil force intent on hunting down the reincarnated souls of its enemies. She sure as hell didn't sign up for rescue by a sinfully tempting vampire lord and his fashion-model-gorgeous friends. Especially since he seems convinced that she's the living embodiment of his long lost human mate.

Story
There’s a smokin’ hot dead guy locked in my garden shed. That part’s bad enough. But now, he’s trying to get out...Growing up, my father always told me that I’d come to a bad end, just like my mom did when I was a kid. Hearing that kind of shit when you’re little eventually gets to a girl, but I can’t say I ever expected my "bad end" to involve an angry vampire with a severe case of iron deficiency and a panty-melting English accent.

Become a bartender at the Vixen’s Den, they said. The owner isn’t really a vampire, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. And suddenly, I’m neck deep in a world I’ve never really believed in, no matter what my crazy Great Aunt Mabel used to say. Seriously, I have more than enough drama in my life already, without adding an irresistibly mesmerizing nightclub owner to the mix. My boss - a man with a penchant for trouble and the echo of tragedy lurking behind his dark gaze.

Summary
When you're mated to an immortal vampire, love is forever. Literally.
In another lifetime, six vampires lost their mates - and their mortality - to an unimaginable evil power. Despite the veil of death separating them, the strength of love draws them together across the ages. But now, if they can’t reunite with the reincarnations of their lost soulmates soon, it may just mean the end of the world.
From London to Kuala Lumpur to the ancient ruins of Saqqara in Egypt, follow the nightwalkers who are all that stand between humanity and chaos as they try to gather together the prophesied Council of Thirteen. Six vampires. Six reincarnated mates. And... the mysterious Other. Without the Council, the world will fall to darkness and become a wasteland haunted by the undead. But the demon who covets dominion over humanity will stop at nothing to thwart the vampires on their quest.
In the eternal battle between light and darkness, love may be the greatest weapon...or the greatest weakness.

Love Conquers All?
In this box set containing the last three books of an incredible Paranormal love story, the search for the remaining soulmates hots up. We learn more about what makes our Vampires tick and get the answers to all our questions.
What terrible deeds did they do to bring them and their lovers to the Demons attention.
How far will they go to save humanity? How can there be 13 in the Council of thirteen when there are only 6 original Vampires? But in the end the only question that truly matters is.... Can Love conquer all or is the world doomed to fall into Darkness....
A brilliant conclusion of a breathtaking series that kept me on the edge of the seat, brought me to tears, left me hot and bothered and made me believe that not only can good triumph over evil but that love really is all that matters in the end. I will miss my Vampiric friends and hope that some day we will meet again. In another book in another time and place. I can only hope....

The end nears, the plot thickens...
There is a prophecy. A council of 13 will defeat the darkness brought on by Bael. The council will consist of Bael's 6 original failures, their fates mates and, by that count, one other. This series is their story.
This audiobook is the 4th to 6th book in the series. Each book focuses on two intertwined plots. There is the macro-plot, or series plot, about good versus evil and demons versus angels. The micro-plot focuses on each vampire individually. The fourth book focuses on Xander and his soul mate, Manisha.The fifth on Duchess and her mate. The last on Snag, the remaining council members and the war that is brewing. To be honest, it is best to read/ listen the books in order because the macro plot ties the series together. With each subsequent book, the pieces of the story slot into place building towards what promises to be a grand finale.
As the vampires are getting closer to their coveted 13, I feel like the books get darker and darker. Each vampire comes with his or her own deep seeded issues that could, potentially, challenge their overall success. The biggest issue is the fact that each vampire killed their mate at the time of turning but more importantly each mate sacrificed themselves for their loved ones.The authors have definitely built the anticipation as the plot reaches a crescendo. There is always the potential for darker times to come but also a chance for love to conquer it all.
I really enjoyed this series. It wasn't difficult to commit to the characters and the plot, which twisted and turned several times, throwing the audience for proverbial loops!
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

This is the second half of a captivating addictive series. I've been rooting for the vamps and their reincarnated soulmates, as they continue to battle the demon forces. Surprises, danger, passion, and a satisfying conclusion for the vamps and their mates! A must read/listen series. The narrator's voices are spot on amazing.

Very good listen
Enjoyable storyline overall and good universe building. I thought each couple’s stories to be well thought out and each had their own unique tone despite similar beginnings.
The conclusion was slightly surprising and very satisfying.
I was disappointed in the final relationship as it was not a true polyamorous one and RA Steffan has done those so well in other stories.

Xander, Marie, and Menkhef Find Their Soulmates
Lovers Absolution - Book 4
I have to say that this fourth book is, for me, the best one so far in this series. I have always had a soft spot for Zander and was eagerly awaiting his story which proved to be well worth the wait. I enjoyed this one from beginning to end. Although I loved the first book about how Tre and Della met and then forged their bond, I didn't like the second book quite as much Eris and Trynne’s story seemed to lack a bond between them for so much of the book. I did however like the attraction between Mason and Oksana and I loved Mason who was almost too good to be true but in all these books it was Zader who captured my attention so I was happy when book four turned out to be his story.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Xander and Manisha story, it was both enthralling and different. Manisha is the nanny to a six-year-old boy who is believed to be the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. When he is captured and turned into a vampire she finds herself turned into a werewolf. It is her supposed fate to become the mate of Crank the Alpha of this pack once she has made her first transformation. The pack is working for the demon Bayel's henchman and she is forced to make contact with Zander to lure him into a trap or else they will hurt the child.
As it turns out she is the reincarnation of his long-dead wife and the connection is felt by both of them immediately but can they ever be together - a vampire and a werewolf? I loved Manisha she was so strong and determined to help her charge who having been turned into a vampire is refusing to eat. She's also determined to escape but is captured and finds herself locked in a disused industrial freezer with Zander. During her first shift she and Zander battle and bite each other the consequences of which are surprising and totally unexpected
I won't say anymore because it would spoil this incredible story but I will say that the next books have a lot to live up to.
Lovers Atonement - Book 5
This book is about Duchess's or as we learn in this book Marie. Throughout the series, she has come across as something of an "Ice Queen" a woman with many secrets. A woman who believes that she is not now nor has she ever been a good person. In this story, she gets to be reunited with her reincarnated soulmate. Chan Wei Yong is a CIA operative who is in Malaysia working deep undercover with a group of religious zealots. Duchess, Oksana, and Mason arrive in Kuala Lumpur to try and find the son of Mason’s former colleague. He has been kidnapped by the cult and during their search for him, Duchess and Chan meet.
This part of the story is somewhat different from the others because both Duchess and Chan have done bad things during their lives, they have both deceived the person they should have been true to. There is not the deep and abiding love between them that the others have had for each other, but that said it is a strong enough bond to draw them together again.
They are both damaged souls, the love between them isn’t a deep and abiding love, nor is it sweet but they agree to start afresh and try to find comfort in each other. This sets the stage for the next book which, as he is the only original vampire left, will be about Snag the oldest and most powerful vampire of them all as he and the reunited lovers all ten of them, together with their allies attempt to defeat Bael.
In this story I loved how Mason's character is developing, he’s growing as a character, he was able to help Chan adjust and is now no longer the "baby" vampire.
Lover's Victory - Book 6
Finally, we have Snag's story or Menkhef, his given name, and his love interests. The authors did hint in previous books in this series that the13th vampire on the council of 13 might have been the child, but it wasn't. Back in ancient Egypt when Menkhef was still human he had a beautiful wife and everything he could ask for, except a child. He believed that he was sterile and so he invited his very close childhood friend, who was now the leader of his palace guard, to join with them both as part of their marriage. They had both fallen in love with her but it was Menkhef who married her. The arrangement worked well and his best friend became the father of their children.
Menkhef and the rest of the team are now ensconced in the oldest pyramid in Egypt, where lots of people have gone to seek sanctuary from Bayel's undead army. Amy and Elijah, a married couple from the USA, have come to visit the Pyramid. Amy is pregnant but their marriage is somewhat rocky as they both feel that something is missing and we soon find out that they are linked to Menkhef.
When the time arrives for the battle to defeat Bayel the Council is still only 11 strong as neither Elijah or Amy have consented to join it and Menkhef makes it clear that they are not to be forced. The climax of the battle was not what I was expecting but it did bring to an end the struggles facing everyone. It wasn't as action-filled as I was expecting but it did mean all the loose ends were dealt with.
The relationship between Menkhef, Amy and Elijah is toned down, I think for the sake of readers/listeners who don't normally read about threesomes, but it is a strong and loving relationship which does bring happiness to all three of them.
At the end of this book, we jump forward in time and find out what has happened to everyone since the day of the battle which I enjoyed.
The narration by Gwendolyn Druyor is again excellent as she changes between the many different accents she has to perform, each one always consistent and recognizable. She always delivers a top-notch performance and never disappoints.
