He’s supposed to be the most brutal creature in the galaxy. And I’m his toy.He came to my planet as a raider. Destroyed the town I lived up in. Burned the farm I grew up on. He captured me.He owns me.Told his crew that I was his pet. He’s in complete control.I am his to do with as he pleases. Now every nerve has begun to throb in that low, delicious way. The way it never has. As if there is a … that low, delicious way.
The way it never has.
As if there is a promise held deep within my body.
And my mind must obey it.
It bleeds away sense.
It destroys caution.
It begs me to open myself and let him in.
This great, terrible murderous…thing.
My soul begs for him. To make me his.
This cannot be happening.
Caged Toy is the third book in the Reaper’s Pet series within the Athenaverse. It’s darker and grittier than other stories. All stories in the Athenaverse can be read as a standalone but they share the same world and characters as other books. This book has no cheating but it does have a HEA.

Sybil lives on the food production planet of Hylo. Slade is a savage reaper joining forces with fellow reaper Goran to attack and destroy Hylo. Sybil is a casualty and captured as a slave. When Slade first set eyes on Sybil it’s a feeling he has never experienced before. Loved this series and the appearance of previous characters.

I’m really beginning to enjoy these Reapers. They are the nomads of space. They have no home, no families, no reason to be nice or get along with other species. Turned away every time they tried to settle somewhere. Finding they actually have hearts and can love just makes them more likeable. Hope we get more stories about them. Great read!

First of all, this is book three of this series. I would recommend reading the first two before this book.
This universe that the author has built is amazing. It is dark, gritty and violent. There is such a connection with the Reapers. They are a people who have lost their world and escaped to the stars. They take what they want and are the scourge of the universe.
I highly recommend this book. This is a continuing series. Each book completes with that couple but, each book carries on the plot of overthrowing the elite. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Snatched from a simple and peaceful life by the Reapers, Sybil was slowly discovering that things were not as she had been led to believe all her life. Her vision of the world around her was about to change! The Reaper Captain Slade was brutal and deadly, but he also had feelings and a hidden side that the human woman was bringing forth every moment and made him fear lose control over his crew. I liked how Sybil was discovering and knowing more and more about the Reapers, their motivations and the little that life offered them. Good insight on her part for a farm girl who knew nothing about the outside world. I have not read Caged Prey, so Goran’s pet caught my attention because of her violent and strange behavior. I liked how Slade and Sybil strategically handled the situation with Goran his pet and The Combine. Here goes the saying ‘The enemy of my enemy is my Friend’. The story flows with many interesting details and narratives, the interaction between Slade and Sybil does not feel forced, rather romantic and passionate. In short, I really liked this story with action, suspense, drama, an intriguing situation, good and smart characters, violence, a lot of hot passion and an ending that led you to think.
This third book in this series, is entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. The chemistry 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.
This is a well written story that is both entertaining and keeps your attention. It is full of action and danger. The budding romance between the Captain, Slade and a young human captive, Sybil is also a big part of the story. The story tells of the relationship between Slade and Sybil and how she learns there is more to this reaper than the cruel stories that they have been told. There is a cliffhanger which leads to the next story. This is a great story and I would highly recommend it along with the other books in this series.

I loved this book. It held my attention throughout and I’m excited to read what comes next!
he was a reaper one of the worst or so he thought, and she was an innocent human from a farm world who knew pretty much nothing. but somehow fate destined them to be together. this has tons of emotion, dark grit, fighting, and plenty of steam.
