About this audiobook
When the road forks, how do you know which path is the right one?
Raven Black hunts evildoers for fun, but her vigilante justice isn't the only reason she's hiding from the law. Half Vampire, half Mage, she's spent years living as a rogue to stay alive. When a Russian Shifter offers her a job in his covert organization hunting outlaws, dignity and a respectable career are finally within her grasp. The catch? Her new partner is Christian Poe-a smug, handsome Vampire whom she'd rather stake than go on a stakeout with.
They're hot on the trail of a human killer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. One misstep during her probationary period could jeopardize Raven's chance at redemption, and her partner would love nothing more than to see her fail. Dark secrets, unexpected twists, and a blurred line between good and evil will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Will Raven find the courage to succeed, or will she give in to her dark nature?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved hearing what happened to Christian Poe after he left Silver, especially with hope that he may actually find love. Classic Dannika Dark style and witty dialogue.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I very much enjoyed this book. The narrator can make or break a book for me and this one did a great job. It is amazing to me when a work of fiction and especially fantasy compels me to evaluate some real life aspects. The author really pulls you in to the book and characters. Looking forward to the next one.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Normally I need a bit more romance in my books, but this book was awesome!! I loved the Seven series and kept putting off listening to this. Christian really is an ass, but I still wait for him to come around won’t Raven. Great book and perfect narration!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was attracted to this book by the reviews and ratings. I figured with the genre and the vast quantity of books in the series (and by the album art) that this wasn't going to be deep reading. It's nice to have some fluff once in a while. The beginning of the book seemed to deliver, but then it sort of lost its way.
The point of the main group, Keystone, was vague and fluccuated between hit squad for the rich & powerful and freelance investigative unit. It sort of makes sense at any point in time, but over the course of the novel it seemed more and more ridiculous. The mysterious leadership of the breeds contracted out killings to this group when they couldn't prove guilt enough by normal means. But that same leadership group are the ones making the rules. Why pay this outside group to do this stuff, and why does this outside group randomly start caring about evidence and proof of guilt at odd times.
The characterizations are also pretty flat. I know that's to be expected, but with such a large cast I was hoping for a bit more. I never really got a good sense of who the main character, Raven Black, truly was. Her desires and motivations shifted from scene to scene. For someone who's been effectively homeless for five years I didn't get much of that vibe from her either.
The story itself was okay. The bad guy never seemed like a real threat. The challenges presented all seemed to have much simpler solutions than the characters chose. I don't think I'll be reading anything else in this series. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I had only read one of Danikka Dark's previous books and really enjoyed it, but for some reason I have not jumped into anything else of hers. When she reached out to me to see if I would be interested in reviewing her new book KEYSTONE, I looked it up and decided it sounded interesting enough that I wanted to give it a try. I wasn't aware that the Crossbreed series is a spin-off of the Mageri series until after I was done reading it, but I didn't feel like I was missing anything, so if you are new to Dannika Dark's books, I say jump right in.Raven comes off tough, independent, bad-ass and confident, but you quickly realize she is really lonely, has plenty of flaws and she has a vulnerable side to her as well. When she has the chance to join Keystone, she is both apprehensive and excited. Her time there is anything but smooth and proving herself to be part of the team is harder than she expected. Raven is the main character, but let me tell you, all the other characters are just as entertaining and part of the story as her. Each team member brings their own unique skill set to the team and without one, the others couldn't do everything that they do. I loved watching them work together and I really felt that they were a family.There isn't really any romance in KEYSTONE, but there is a connection that I wish would have been explored more. Raven and Christian had a love-hate relationship that could totally be a hot romance if they were allowed to explore things. I have to say that them not being able to and Raven not wanting to in the end really bummed me out. On the other hand, this character came off as a really big asshole sometimes and a man slut on top of that, so maybe it's a good thing? I guess we will find out in future books. I will totally be reading more of the Crossbreed series. I enjoyed everything from the characters to the world and the story line. I look forward to watching them all grow and I think I might jump into some of Dannika's backlist books as well.* This book was provided free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
