They’re the stuff of nightmares.So frightening that most think they’re legends.But they’re real.And now they’ve taken me. You’re in deep trouble if the Reapers find your ship in space.If they board you, chances are you’ll die.Most likely they’ll loot your ship.Take your women.Sometimes they’ll even eat your heart.They’re brutes. Pirates. Murderers.And now they’ve captured me and the ship I was on. Murderers.
And now they’ve captured me and the ship I was on.
The galaxy has treated me like garbage.
But the Reaper King that claims me…
He treats me like his princess.
He loves me. He gives me treats.
He takes care of me and protects me.
He shows me more kindness than anyone in the galaxy ever has.
So maybe I belong in this dark world of pirates.
When civilized people are the truly malevolent ones.
With their wars and their deceit.
Maybe the simple violence of the Reaper soul is where I belong.
It’s twisted.
It’s dark.
It’s sick.
But with my Reaper King…it’s home.
Caged Mate explores a much darker and grittier side of the Athenaverse. It can be read as a standalone, but it still shares the same universe that you’ve found in other books. Themes in this book should be approached with caution.

This is the start of a new series. Fast paced standalone book that keeps your attention to the very end. There is plenty of twists/turns, suspense, drama, mystery, action you know it it’s in this book. It’s a dark story a very erotic. Caroline is a human female that’s a slave on a cruise whip when they are boarded and she’s claimed by the Reaper King Vishar. I love how Athena Storm writes her books. They are never boring. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Trying to evade a mortal fate Caroline, a con woman, accepted been slavered. Something that made her hatred and contempt for the humans around her and sunk her in a path of no return. When the brutally fierce and bloody Reapers attacked and seized the ship she was in, only her skills could save her. Vishar, the leader of the Reapers on board, was restless about the intriguing, deceptive and tempting human. She didn’t fear him and constantly challenged him making him doubt and desire her, but he didn’t trust, at all. As Carolina pointed out she and Vishar were not normal creatures. That was very obvious! They had been carved by circumstance and both needed someone who could challenge and stir them. Tit for tat! Vishar really was a monster. Didn’t like either one but Caroline was mean since before. Maybe she was part Reaper. A very dark story with dark and strong emotions, lot of violence, gory details, torture, manhandling, lust and raw sex. The end left me intrigued. I did not expect what happened.
Caroline is a slave on a cruise ship that is attacked by Reapers and she manages to hide until a sneeze gives her away. Vishar pulls her out of an air vent and feels an odd attraction to her. He is amazed by her blasé attitude and humor at her current situation. The story is very erotic in the sexual interaction between the two of them. There is danger surrounding her as the other Reapers are as vicious as they come. Enjoyed the story, it is well written, action packed and holds your attention. There is a cliff hanger at the end which makes me want to read the next book. I would highly recommend this book as a great read.
Recently I started reading books by Athena Storm and let me say “Caged Mate” was a lovely fast read. It kept me reading till the end. Once I started reading I could not put down. Highly recommend that you grab it up, you won’t be disappointed. I Look forward to reading more by this author.

Caroline was a cleaner but basically a slave on a luxury liner for rich people. It was either that or prison and prison was worse even thought the passengers seemed to be pretty bad towards her. She would hide out in secret passage ways. Vishar is a Reaper and they are very much feared as being ruthless. He spots the luxury liner and boards it to plunder and take whatever he wants and get information from the crew about where the liners ports of call are and such. Caroline is hiding but gets caught but she is unafraid which perplexes Vishar. She is feisty. Vishar takes a liking to Caroline. She proves herself to him and helps him in is endeavor to get information. She has no loyalties to the humans as they treated her like trash. Vishar wants Caroline as his but they have to go about it carefully. He takes her as his pet and to shoe other Reapers how she is loyal to them. The Reapers start to trust Caroline more and more. One day the are at a port when all hell breaks lose. It’s another group of Reapers even worse than them. Killarn is their captain. Can Vishar and Caroline escape from them? Seems to be a TBC story.
He is a Reaper captain and She is a human con woman who is a slave on the ship that he has just taken over and looted, This story is full of Emotion, and steam as well as tons of action and adventure in the badlands, this one is dark and gritty! I enjoyed it so very much!
