Still here!

Aside from the recaps of the shipwrecks, told from a different POV, the first telling was very similar to this book. It was interesting to read it from the Mer POV. After the rescue, we got the story as Cassandra remembered. It was a very good story. As with book one, this one contains lots of thigh-squeezing sex scenes. If that is your thing, you will love this book.

Loved It!

I loved this book. I liked the first book in this series "The Mighty Hunter," which I also listened to in audiobook, and was happy to get my hands on this one. I loved this one so much better. Great world building and wonderful characters. I didn't care for the heroine in the first book, but really liked this one. Cassandra was dying from bone cancer and already in a lot of pain from when we are introduced to her. Nearly dying at sea and being rescued by mer Iason weakens her, but can also be her salvation. I found the storyline captivating and I couldn't put it down. But of course I do have my issues with Cass a bit in this book at her logic of easily accepting some paranormal/mythology, but dismissing others as crazy talk.

Rebecca Cook did a fantastic job narrating. I was impressed with her variety of voices and thought she did a great job for Iason as well.

Overall: 5 stars
Performance: 5 stars
Story: 5 stars

Commanding the Tides

This is the 2nd book in the Lords of the Abyss series. Cassandra is on a scientific expedition ship when it is attacked by a sea monster and sinks. Ethan and the other hunters from the Mer people try to stop it but they are too late to save the ship so they saved the 2 women from the ship and bring them to their domed city beneath the ocean. Bridget's story is the first book in this series while Cassie's is the second. In this story Cassie is terminally ill and on the ship mainly considering it as one last great adventure or escape. When Ethan saved her there was an instant connection between the two. Will Ethan and the Mer peoples power of healing be able to save Cassie or will the illness take her now that she has found true love and wants to live? And can she believe in their love enough to fight for it or will she try to run away again. These are some of the questions posed by this story. You will have to read it to find out but I can say it has a satisfying conclusion with each story being part of the main continuing story in the Lords of the Abyss series. I enjoyed this story and look forward to the next.

I Enjoyed It

This is the second book in this lovely series, and whilst it's not absolutely necessary to listen to them in order but it does in my opinion mean you get more from each individual story. The world the author has created here about the Mers is so well done the books contain an overarching storyline about the Mer-people that continues throughout the series.

This book concentrates on Cassandra, a terminal cancer patient, who as if the cancer wasn't bad enough found herself on a boat which sank! Lucky for her, she is rescued and cared for by Iason, a mer hunter. Imagine her surprise when she is told that curing her cancer is possible here and that living in Atlantes has many more benefits too than were possible above water.

The story is exciting, has some drama and intrigue, there's even a villainess thrown into the mix which all adds to the excitement.

The narration of the book by Rebecca Cook is very well done, she has no difficulty bringing the characters to life which added immensely to my enjoyment of this well-crafted and interesting story.

Love, Love, Love this series!!

Iason faces possible disgrace if he tries to save Cass from an illness. It doesn't help that he fell for when he first saw her.

Iason and Cassandra

Iason the Hunter is on the same team as Caderyn, the hero from book 1, and rescued a woman from the same sinking ship. The healer has tasked him to heal the extremely ill human. He agrees. He looks at Cassandra as a gift from the gods. When she awakens, she is totally taken with her rescuer. There is a bit of danger when the Olympians make an appearance. This one has a lot of steam, but it has a getting to know each other feel as well. Danger, thwarting villains, steam, and falling in love make an exciting story. I enjoyed Rebecca Cook’s narration.

This interesting book 2 in the Lords of the Abyss Book Series has a steamy, standalone full-length, paranormal Romance with a intense and irresistible sexy Merman and a very ill female who doesn't want rescued. This very well written book has well-crafted, engaging and unique characters with intriguing personalities and histories. This engaging story has depth and creative world construction. The Characters in this book are well crafted with issues which they resolve and the characters evolve in the story.

Iason and Cassandra

Book 2 of the series. Loved it, such a fun series! Iason and Cassandra’s story.
The story rehashes some important points in the beginning. This is valuable if you had not read the previous book, or it’s been a while. It sets the story off to a good start. In this story the hunters save 3 women and capture 2 of the sea beasts. Cassandra is dying of cancer when the ship sank. These two have chemistry. It’s clear they are meant for each other, even though Cassandra fights it. Iason is willing to put his reputation and profession on the line to win her. Several hot scenes in this romance. The Olympians are up to their tricks causing mayhem. The story and characters are well developed. The narrator is great, I truly enjoy listening to her performance. I am looking forward to book 3!
