His brutality is shocking.
But his love is overwhelming.
He is a force of nature.
Drogan.
Even the name sounds harsh.
His chiseled, warrior body hides a brutal and hard past.
A Reaper. A killer. He ravages and burns.
He kills his enemies and drinks their blood.
Drogan doesn’t care what I think.
He wants to possess me.
Own me.
He craves me so badly that he would eat every scrap of my flesh to … every scrap of my flesh to make sure no one else could ever touch it.
Even though he’s rough, there is such reverence in it.
It really is like worship.
To him, I’m rare.
Unique.
Special.
He appreciates me.
And most of all…
He loves me.
Caged Slayer explores a much darker and much more gritty Athenaverse than in other books. It’s the fourth book in the Reaper’s Pet series within the wider Athenaverse. 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.

I prefer to read books in sequence so normally start at the begin of the series and I will rip through a series back to back but I started this series here
Whoops
This was unexpected and grabbed attention. The relationship was electrifying and most definitely different
……And now I am off the read the series from the start
The book remind me another author so if you like this you have to also read Bane by Bex McLynn …second in the series but brilliant..

This is a stand alone of Athenaverse series and Cerena is soulless might fighter slave from the Combine and during the invasion of one of the Reapers space ship she is defeated by the captain Drogan. The book has lots of action, has a dark side of battle rage for blood thirsty and as it evolves the story hooks you up and it becomes to be more sensual and interesting, loved the solution to defeat a common enemy and how the reaper captains start to work together loved and can’t wait to read the next on this series.

This was my first step into the “Reaper Word” and I am truly saddened that I started with Book Four. I came across “Caged Slayer” on Booksprout and decided to give it a try not realizing at the time that it was part of a series where the characters from previous tales make not only appearances but interact as well. But, and this is a big BUT I was able to enjoy the twisted game of predator and prey, Drogan and Cerene’s “love” story as a standalone. I want to be clear to those who are considering this amazing tale and are not familiar (like I wasn’t) with who and or what is a “Reaper.” The word “dark” is in the title should be taken literally as there really are some very disturbing scenes involving the “Reaper’s” method of “dismantling” their enemy, that might make a reader a bit squeamish. Watching how Drogan and Cerene’s interactions went from enemy to captive, to escapee, to the unknown and then eventually, a deep, connective love had me turning each page as quickly as I could read them. I have already started “Caged Mate” (book one) because I am now enthralled with the “Reapers” – they are so unpredictable and so unexpected that the reader can’t help but want to know more!
Great Story! This story is filled with action and suspense. The danger faced by Goran and Cerene as they play cat and mouse when Cerene runs ship to ship from Goran is interesting. The surprises that are revealed will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Finding the perfect mate! Drogan is a rough bloodthirsty alpha Reaper. He’s the best at what he does and nothing stops him until he sees Cerene. She is a combine soldier and has killed many Reapers but his mission is to kill Goran. When he sees her in action he sees the perfect woman for him. She’s as tough and action motivated as he is. He sets out to capture her then win her over. But she has other plans as they fight and sees who will get what they want! This storyline has action, intrigue and twists and turns with lots of fighting and hot times between them. Will he win her over?

I Loved this cruel, violent, often vulgar and fast paced novel of ruthless space pirates. Author Storm is absolutely amazing at her world building for this book.
There is a lot of very vulgar %&#@ language in the book, as well as the completely ruthless Drogan who likes to eat some of his opponents alive, while torturing them! YUCK!
This book is part of the Vast Athenaverse series, but can be read as a standalone, because author Storm kindly prefaces each book with a backstory and explanation of the various aliens inhabiting her often cruel worlds.
Do not read this book if you are squeamish at all.
Another intense Reaper read. It was so brutal in the beginning and I had to remind myself that Reapers are not gentle beings. I loved that Cerene was such a force to be reckoned with and a total match for Goran . I actually thought she might be part Reaper at first. This writer never, ever disappoints.

There is no delusion among either of the main characters that they are good people. Cerene has cut off herself from feeling and attachments, purely for survival purposes, and the only thing she truly enjoys, that truly brings her alive, is slaughtering people. So she’s in good company when she finds herself captive on a Reaper ship. Drogan is very much the same, at least in enjoying the fight, but is no stranger to feeling and strong reactions. But both find themselves taken aback by the other, both in terms of physical prowess and the feelings the other causes them causes concern.
And then a bunch of really cool stuff happens, and it’s super awesome and sci-fi, and there’s a shocking reveal, and it’s super exciting. That’s all I can say without giving too many spoilers. But we learn a lot more about who the Reapers are and who they might come to be!
I know that the books are standalone, but if you want to know what is going on, it’s better to read them in order. They are in KU. We meet another captain of a Reaper ship. Drogan is a huge Reaper and has fits of temper, lol. Cerene is a Combine soldier sent in to kill Goran, another Reaper captain. She is an amazing fighter, killing many Reapers before making a mistake and being captured by Drogan. They have a HFN now and we are set up for the next book. I do love this series! It is violent, but there is an amazing story line and the world that the author built is great!

Fantastic book, there’s action, adventure, drama, danger, suspense, twist/turns, enemies, intrigue, mystery/secrets, surprises, violence, prejudices, torture, betrayal, struggles, surprises, guilt, romance, and hot passion.
This is the 4th book about the reapers, you do not have to read them in order but helps to know what is going on.
Of the books I read this has been much darker then the others. The cannibalization of their own, not just their enemy left a scary situation in my soul but the gradual reinvention of the raiders leads to a hope of revitalizing a civilazation. I missed some in the series and will have to go back as though these books can be read seperatly it is much better when they can be read together and at one time. I am anxious to get the next book as see if the story can be brought together

This is the 4th book in the series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. Cerene is sent to kill Goran and ends up being capture by Drogan. Entertaining sci-fi read with loads of drama, suspense and steamy chemistry. I loved it and am looking forward to the next in the series.
Things are happening within the Reapers! The captains of four ships have realized they must work together to fight off the Combine. Their human pets have come up with some interesting theories about these beings. The Reapers appear to have an ability to control matter. The Combine has apparently been keeping some female Ishana captive for a long time. Can’t wait to see what happens next! Great read!

Caged Slayer is book four in the series Reaper’s Pet by author Athena Storm. HOLY SH**!!! I absolutely love this book- it’s so gritty and dark – hot as hell.
Everything is a lie, all the secrets- so much left unknown. They are not the monsters. The truth is out there and the Reapers will do anything to find it.
Enjoy!!

Another wonderful book in this series about the Reapers. This book is about Drogan, captain of the Hatchet, and Cerene, combine soldier. Drogan is meeting with Vishar, captain of the Vice to make a pact to go after Goran the captain of the Killswitch when his ship is attacked by a Combine Helios fighter ship. Celene a soldier bred to fight and when the fighting skills capture the attention of Drogan, he decides he wants her for himself. They challenge each other and Celene ends up being chained, but she escapes and ends up on another Reaper ship. This starts her journey of musical warships as Drogan keeps losing Celene but introduces the previous characters and their pets into this story. Celene learns that all is not what it seems and Drogan learns she’s more than a pet or food. There are more discoveries and plenty of action along with the romance in the fourth book in this wonderful series that deals in the dark romance of Reapers. I volunteer to read and review this ARC via Booksprout.
I really enjoyed reading this book, it has a good storyline, it is entertaining and filled with action and adventure. The chemistry and interaction between the characters is wonderful. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Can’t Stop
Okay, I had promised myself that I would not read any more of this particular set of books due to the particular interest the male characters seem to demonstrate towards their captives. Somehow I find myself getting the book and cringing while I read it. Being honest I cannot put these books down until I am completely done reading.
So weak for a good story.

Cerese learns the truth about the Coalition lies and hidden secrets.
by sewsummore
The author portrays a different side of the Reapers, that of affection and love for their human pets. It was a change from their usual behaviors of killing mindlessly. The story’s primary focus is the Reaper Captain Drogan, who engages in a fight to the death with a Human female Commander of the Coalition called Cerese, each of them receiving multiple injuries from the contest. Still, a miscalculation by Cerene sees her knocked unconscious and Drogan’s prisoner. Both of them fought hard and were surprised at their opponent’s strength and determination. It was their interaction between these two that made this book exciting and memorable, especially when Cerese learns the truth about the Coalition lies and hidden secrets.
