Book description
Dark Crusader: Arise, Book 2
Jez Cajiao
Steve and Ingrid are on the run. Hunted. Confused. Angry.
Steve's still figuring out what he is. What he can do. The creatures around him? They're figuring it out too. Some want him dead. Others want to use him.
Ingrid's got her own problems. Her world's changed. Her reality's different now. She's adapting. Observing. Planning.
She's also building something else. A deep, burning hatred for her "betters."
Smart girl. Smarter than Steve. She's had time to think. Time to watch. Time to prepare.
Steve's going recruiting. Harvesting. Greece won't know what hit it.
The criminal element? They're already dead. They just don't know it yet.
Cajiao delivers tight, brutal storytelling. No wasted words. No filler. Just pure, adrenaline-fueled narrative that grabs you and doesn't let go.
The audiobook format works perfectly here. The narrator captures the tension, the confusion, the growing rage. Steve's uncertainty comes through clearly. Ingrid's intelligence shines. Her hatred burns.
This isn't a cozy listen. It's sharp. Uncomfortable. Necessary.
The pacing is relentless. Just when you think you understand what's happening, Cajiao shifts gears. Steve learns something new. Ingrid's plans evolve. The stakes get higher.
Greece becomes a character itself. Ancient. Dangerous. Full of secrets and predators.
Perfect for fans of dark urban fantasy. Perfect for anyone who likes their heroes flawed, their villains worse, and their narrators excellent.
Listen with caution. This one gets under your skin.
