Rogue Descendant: An Audiobook Review
Let's be honest - when you're hunting immortal beings while juggling relationship drama, the last thing you need is a GPS with attitude. But that's exactly what Nikki Glass gets in Jenna Black's latest urban fantasy adventure.
Our favorite private eye-with-a-divine-complex finds herself caught between a rock and a hard place when ex-Olympian leader Konstantin decides to play hide-and-seek. Anderson, Nikki's boss, wants Konstantin found and eliminated, but Nikki's not exactly jumping for joy at the assignment. Smart move - especially when mysterious attacks start making it clear that someone wants her dead instead.
The real fun begins when Konstantin's son Cyrus enters the picture, threatening to rain divine wrath on anyone who messes with daddy. It's like a supernatural family reunion, except with more stabby bits and ancient grudges. Throw in Anderson's estranged wife Emma, who's now team Olympian and perfectly happy to watch her ex-husband's operation burn down in flames, and you've got yourself one spectacular mess.
Meanwhile, Nikki's love life continues its slow-motion car crash with Jamaal, who's wrestling with death magic like it's a rabid raccoon. Because apparently being descended from a death goddess wasn't complicated enough for one person.
Black's narration brings Nikki's world to vivid life, complete with snarky commentary and just the right amount of supernatural chaos. The author's background in anthropology (and her discovery that primates are apparently the original couch potatoes) somehow translates into remarkably human immortal characters who spend most of their time plotting, scheming, and occasionally eating.
This audiobook delivers exactly what fans want: supernatural mayhem, relationship tension, and a protagonist who's definitely in over her head but refuses to admit it. Perfect for listeners who enjoy their urban fantasy with a side of divine drama.
