I’ve lived a sheltered, privileged, silly life.All it takes is one moment to go away.And now my role is simple.To be prey.The Reapers burned everything.They destroyed and looted the space port that we had stopped in.They…He…killed everyone that tried to defend me.Broke them with his bare hands.Bathed in their blood before throwing me over his shoulder.He caged me.Leashed me.Scared me.But he … over his shoulder.
He caged me.
Leashed me.
Scared me.
But he also trained me.
Protected me.
Fed me.
And loved me.
I am now his.
Juliana, the Princess I used to be is dead.
From her ashes, is a woman who is stronger.
Darker.
Aware of the madness of this galaxy.
I don’t expect many to understand.
They wouldn’t understand the darkness he comes from.
Or the twisted madness of the galaxy.
They’d say we’re sick.
That this is madness.
It’s not.
It’s a real love between us.
And it will kill all who stand against us.
Caged Prey explores a much darker and much more gritty Athenaverse than in other books. It’s the second book in the Reaper’s Pet series but can be read as a standalone. Readers should be warned that the situations inside this book are of a much darker variety than other books in the Athenaverse and should exercise caution. All books share the same universe and feature a happily ever after.

Reapers are a race of aliens that is feared (maybe like the vikings were for Earth), they are known for their violence, pillaging and taking what doesn’t belong to them. Goran is the lead beserker, and he finds lots of joy in drawing blood and battle. Juliana is from a totally different world, she is a human raised in high society, and to suppress her emotions, so she can get the best husband. Unfortunately for Juliana, her ship stops on a planet, and the Reapers attack. I loved this unusual dark romance, that certainly had me questioning things and kept me engrossed.

Wow this book just keeps on giving it’s raw and real right to the very end. Juliana has lived a sheltered life and has never wanted for anything and was conditioned to be the perfect wife and princess to her future husband but that all changes on the way when the ship she is on makes a stop over in a very dad spaceport and that’s when it happens the Reapers arrive and kill and take what they want and at the front of them all is the biggest palest berserker reaper she has ever seen and he makes his way to them inside a private box for safety but now Juliana thinks of it a prison cell. Once inside he kills many people with no care in the world and when he looks at me I don’t feel afraid I’m intrigued by him and then I’m taken over his shoulder back to the ship and taken to his room. What happens next to Juliana now that Goran has taken an interest in her and her body, read this great book to get the whole story.

There was so much action, that I just could not put the book down! Juliana gets kidnapped by spare pirates, called Reapers. With a name like that, you can just imagine what will happen next…. This is not a book for those faint of heart…

Disturbingly Different I enjoy reading Athena Storm’s books, and this one is no exception. Even though it’s disturbingly bloody and dark, the story line kept me turning the pages to find out what happens next. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Zora Black is new to me bit I’ve thoroughly enjoyed many books by Athena Storm so there was no way I’d miss checking out Caged Prey (Reaper’s Pet Book 2). I’m glad I did, though it’s led me to discover that I have an addiction to “Dark SciFi Romance” previously unknown. (I’m hoping it’s just an addiction to these two authors works in that genre, as the “fixes” for my other reading addictions are already costly enough!) What Juliana goes through is mid boggling, and how it forgets her into a new person is the makings of a great (and yes, hot) tale. Totally thrilling I’m more ways than one, I definitely recommend this book.
Juliana is a sheltered lady of the upper class groomed to be the perfect wife. She will discover she has surprising instincts. Goran is a berserker who lives for the kill and the spoils of war. When he sees Juliana he takes her. What happens when her family offers millions to get her back? Will Goran be able to protect her from his crew? “Caged Prey” is a dark sci-fi romance with violence, drama, and newly discovered emotions. Their meeting leads to an awakening for both of them. I liked their animalistic chemistry, the detailed descriptions of another world & various aliens, and the update at the end about characters from other books. Another great read in this series.

My name is Juliana. I have been protected all my life. The one time I am alone without companion or protection, we are attacked by the Reapers and I am captured by Goran. When he touches my body, I begin to have these feelings. I was raised not to have feelings. They were evil.
My name is Goran of the Reapers. I am a Beserker. I spot this lovely frozen princess. I can not wait to get her to my room. I think of all the nasty things I can do to her. Guess what, her body responds and she does not know what is happening.
Read Caged Prey to find out how love comes their way. HEA guaranteed.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this as an ARC
Is the story of Goran and Juliana gritty? Yes! Is it more intense? Again, yes! And their story gutted me. For all that they seem so different in the beginning, in my opinion, the only difference is how they originally sat at opposite ends of the same spectrum. They had both been conditioned to act a certain way from a very early age. She was basically a human robot and he funneled his emotions into an all encompassing rage making him the most fierce berserker of the Reapers. His capture of her blasted their emotional doors wide open. When a book literally moves me to tears I know it is more than worth the price.
I received this book as a gift to and having read it I would like to give an honest opinion of what it is that I have read.
I will admit that this book is so much different from the other books. You need to be warned that there is extreme sexual encounters, there is extremely graphic battles that go on. So if any of these thing could and may cause triggers for some people.
Juliana is a princess that is going off to find her future husband. All of her life she has been trained to not show any emotion. When she did they gave her something to calm her down. There were times each day that a slave would come in and give her along with the other women pills. Basically trying to keep them in a drugged state of mind. The ship that she was traveling on had to stop at a port that is located on the furthest reaches of their space close the to Badlands.
This is when the Reepers attack the port. Berserker in it the front killing everyone as they go and Gorgan is the head of them and the first to read the security cube that she and the others are in It is suppose to protect them. Everyone in the cube runs to the back except her she is just fascinated watching Gorgan working his killing chain. She had been standing perfectly still he didn’t even notice her until she reached out and grabbed his chain without getting hurt. It was something that no one has ever done before. After all is said and done he takes her throws her over his shoulder and chains her in his cabin.
So many things happen in this book. You learn the true history of the Reepers and how they became. Juliana’s eyes will be opened along with her feeling emotions for the first time in her life. She learns hard truths and the question is will she be able to handle what she learn, or will she bee about to keep up with the Reepers and try and create something new and different.
Book two in the reapers Pet series. Caged Prey is a very dark intense story that grabs you from the start. Well written can not see what is next in the series.

Dark, dark, dark.
Let me start by saying, READ THE BLURB!
If you are not into what is described there or have an aversion to it, do NOT read this book.
If you will go in open-minded, this book is steamy and amazing and will push your boundaries and leave you breathless!
I loved everything about it – the characters, the plot, the emotion, the writing, and the ability that the author had to tell me a story that had me wanting this book to go on and on.

This was a well-written dark romance story by one of my favorite authors. This story was intriguing and violent and it had some very well-thought out scenes and story plots. These characters have very strong wills and personalities and she is in a constant emotional upheaval. This wonderful story has the following: intrigue, twists & turns, adventure, action, variety of races, humans, danger, defiance, determination, compromises, love, steam and a HEA. I am always on the lookout for books by this author.

I cannot say how much I loved this book. It definitely was darker, something that while is not my favorite was well done here. I prefer Athena’s other stories. But I cannot discount the mastery of this one.
