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.

The initial background information was a huge help for those that have not been reading since the beginning of the series or may not be familiar with this universe. The characters are well-developed, but a little crazy. The violence and savagery that is displayed by both main characters is what eventually leads them to each other. With forces attacking from every direction, it is amazing how they develop feelings. Although this book maybe important for the overall story-line, it seems to be lacking something that makes it feel like a complete story by itself. As I was reading it felt more like a novella between two major stories. I liked it. However, I have enjoyed other books by Athena.
I adore everything Athena writes. Theres always a strong, alpha character which i love and this baby is no different. Reapers are violent and scary aliens. And a few of them crave the woman they find. Will she be strong enough to handle what Drogan dishes out?!

What a great story. Drogan isn’t what Cerena thought a Reaper would be. Cerena is not what he expected in a small human. The Reapers are starting to discover things about their past no one has know in hundreds of years.

Cerene and Drogan get their story in this fourth installment of the series. Cerene is a Combine warrior, trained in the deadly art of warfare. She is sent to kill a Reaper honcho, making her deadly way through multiple Reapers. Before she can accomplish her mission she is captured by Drogan, a Reaper leader himself. Here is where the real story begins. Athena Storm brings us a dark, gritty story that has fully, fleshed out characters, an adventurous plot, and a seemingly HFN conclusion. Though this story can be read as a stand alone tale it is helpful to have read the preceding books.

This book had me on the edge of my seat right from the get go, Cerene is a woman on a mission and the reapers are in her site’s and she always gets her man/woman because she is one of the best the combined military has ever made but to be the best she has given up all things that make her human. Drogan is the captain of the spaceship Hatchet and now finds himself in a battle with a human female that’s his equal in battle but he must beat her and have her as his pet. Never in her military career has she meet anyone that was her equal until now and Cerene is excited to take on this reaper and win. Two worlds collide together with each fighting to win but there can be only one or is there, you’re got to read this amazing book and I look forward to the next one.

I was super nervous at first. Drogan was horrible, wanting to literally eat Cerene. She wasn’t any better, laughing while she killed everyone. They were truly a perfect match. It took Drogan a while to change his thinking, I think the only reason Cerene survived at first was because she kept escaping or getting taken. But he changed and so did she, they both softened and the book got better (IMO). I loved the ending and can’t wait for more.

Ok I will start by saying this is the 4th book in the reaper series and I almost had a freak out reading this book. I hate that I am not a faster reading because I couldn’t wait to read what was next. Cerene’s mission didn’t go as planned. Drogan was the crazy Reaper. He saw her and knew he wanted that woman. This is my honest opinion on this oh so good book.
Cerene’s mission didn’t go as planned. She was honed for battle, ruthless and in control so, facing a Reaper was a welcome challenge. Drogan, a powerful Reaper full of fury and ruled by instinct was enthralled by the fearless woman that matched his fierceness and bloodthirsty. He knew he wanted that woman. But what difficult was it for him! With the Combine military on their heels, thanks to Goran, the Reapers had no choice but to join forces against the enemy regardless of their animosities. Interesting and entertaining Cerene and Drogan’s play of cat and mouse, funny his frustration, good the inclusion of all the ‘pets’, Sybil’s contribution to the story and the mysteries and secrets that were being revealed little by little. The enemies had staged too many lies and seems liked they are going to explode in their face. I liked when Cerene said to Drogan “You showed me what it means to live, not just survive” and Drogan thinking “It‘s strange and wonderful that she is unlocking a part of me that I never knew, just as I am doing the same to her”. I sighed and thought of Beauty and the Beast. The Reapers are a breed that only wants to survive and use the only means at their disposal for it, but their “pets“ have taken a turn in their lives and an extra concern that left me very intrigued. Action, suspense, danger, bites, violence, strong emotions, guilt, surprises, legends, romance and hot passion.
Athena Storm and Zora Black did a great job on Cages Slayer, the plot was strong, it was packed with action, suspense, twists and more. Cerene and Drogan were strong characters, they made a strong pair. The connection between them was strong, their chemistry was steamy. They were made for each other, they were good together.
Nothing about their journey was an easy one but both were fighters.
I enjoyed this story. Thanks, Athena Storm and Zora Black. Great work 🙂
Another Marvelous Book…

Drogan’s is a reaper a hard core alpha male who knows the moment
he sees her standing there she’s more than an average female then she blows his mind and proves it.
Drogan can’t be more ecstatic her crazy matches his crazy.
But then Cerene won’t be contain so she runs and of course he does the only thing he can do he chases, and wow the way they tango together smoldering and this book has been oh so exciting and absolutely exhilarating.

WOW!!! Another great book. The author warns about dark areas within the Athenaverse Universe, so believe that you are going to read something dark.
A strong woman, an impressive captain. Two similar characters. Two beings who meet and find love in their own way.
In this discovery process, new unexpected situations appear. Could this race finally join? …

Well Athena Storm has done it again with “Caged Slayer” it was a lovely fast read. Every book she writes keeps getting better.. It kept me reading till the end. Once I started I could not put it down. I Highly recommend that you grab this book and actually anything else that Athena Storm writes. You won’t be disappointed…

Well worth reading!
Good read full of action, plot, romance and suspense. I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.
Even though the books in this series are standalone
to get the true effect of what is going on I would start
right at the beginning with the first book.
This is a dark read but boy it really had me glued to the edge
of my seat with all the action drama suspense and the relationship
between the main characters.
