    About this audiobook

    No longer the leader of the Olympians, Konstantin has now gone into hiding. Konstantin is vulnerable, and Anderson believes now is the perfect time to destroy his nemesis. He orders private eye Nikki Glass to use her powers to locate Konstantin, and she balks at the idea until a series of attacks leads her to believe that Konstantin is gunning for her and Anderson instead of remaining safely in hiding.

    Nikki's search is complicated by Cyrus-Konstantin's son and the new leader of the Olympians-who threatens retribution should his father be killed. The complications mount up as Nikki begins to suspect that Konstantin might not be behind the attacks after all. The only person who hates Konstantin more than Anderson does is Anderson's estranged wife, Emma, who has joined the Olympians. And Nikki knows Emma would be more than happy if Anderson and his people embroiled themselves in an all-out war against the Olympians-a war they cannot hope to win.

    As Nikki tries to figure out who the true enemy is, she deals with her tumultuous relationship with Jamaal, who struggles to control his death magic. But being loved by a descendant of a death goddess is the least of Nikki's worries.

      3.5/5 Rating
      This is the third book in the Nikki Glass series and for the most part, it's pretty good. We see some more character development and Nikki trying to learn her powers.

      The book starts off slow, compared to the other two books but has an explosive ending. The end is what makes the book and I want to pick up the fourth book to find out what happens next.

      We learn a little more about Anderson, which I love, since he's my favorite character. I also want to read the next book to find out more about him.

      In this book we get more interaction with the Olympians and how they are run, especially with Konstantin's Son, Cyrus. He's an interesting character and I can't wait to see more of him, especially with how this book ended.

      Nikki is still her strong self, except when it comes to Jamaal. I love her in any other scene, except when thinks or interacts with him. I don't know what it is, probably the hormones of her attraction to him, but her senses go out the window. I do wish she would listen to him and give him space, she can't change him, only he can (if he wants to.) They may be the same, like she claims, but that's no reason to become this hormonal bomb who has no control, when she's with him.

      Besides that, I love any other scene she is in. She is starting to learn her powers with the short amount of time she's been an immortal.

      The other thing she needs to learn, is to not treat the other descendants like they are human beings. She's always had a moral compass, which is good, but she is surprised far too often in this book when they do something heinous or selfish. I don't know how much time has past, but it has to be somewhere between 3-4 months since she's become an immortal. Which is not a lot of time, but she needs to start learning to not treat the descendants like they have human morals. I do think she learns that at the end of the book, but only time will tell if it sticks.

      The ending is the best part of the book and now I'm off to go read the fourth book and see the fallout of what happened.

      Overall, I was pleased with the book.
    • 3/5
      The third book in the series can almost be read as the first one. The book does start a few weeks after the end of book 2 and there is an ebook only novella out that you don't have to read at all to start book 3. Anderson wants Nikki to use her powers to hunt down the former leader of the Olympians but she refuses because she doesn't believe in revenge. While she stalls for time everything she is linked to is attacked. Her office, her condo and her parents home all go up in smoke. Nikki is then attacked and that seems to be the final straw for her. At some points I almost think she is too softhearted to live in the world she has found herself in but hopefully she will toughen up to protect all those she cares about including herself.

      Nikki is back. Someone is attacking Nikki where it hurts most, her family. Her first thought is Konstantin but then she starts thinking it might be Emma. Either way she has to figure it out and stop it before the attacks get worse. Nikki is still navigating her new life. She considers the mansion home now and finds herself getting more comfortable but still misses how things use to be. We get a brief glimpse of how she is with her adoptive parents when they come home from their trip which was interesting. I continue to enjoy the mythology of the series and the characters are by far what makes the book. The romance, My gosh are Nikki and Jamaal frustrating. One step forward five steps back. The tiger and her feelings do not help. I know this isn't a romance novel but watching their slow tip toeing is driving me insane. I want to scream, "Just do it already". Now we do learn more about Jamaal and the reason for his issues but I still hope issues will be worked through in book 4 *fingers crossed*. There is not a romance with Anderson but we do learn about some feelings and he is still very much a mystery.ROGUE DESCENDANT didn't have much of an adventurous plot. There was some action at points but it wasn't go, go, go like the other two books in the series. It is definitely a turning point as it ends with something big but it felt like more of a filler novel. I still liked ROGUE DESCENDANT and couldn't imagine not reading it but I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things with book 4.

      The time to strike is now. Konstantin is no longer leading the Olympians and is in hiding. Anderson is urging Nikki to use her descendant powers to track down Konstantin. But she knows it will be a revenge killing and that tastes bad in her mouth, but when there are strikes made against her and those she loves, she knows that she needs to take action and end this once and for all.I love this series! Each book that comes out keeps getting better and better. Jenna Black's writing is wonderful. She has ensnared me with vampires, fae and now descendants of gods and goddesses. Rogue Descendant is a great addition to this series. I love the fast pace of the story and the different mythologies. I really enjoy the relationship between Nikki and Jamal, but have to say Jamal has some major issues that makes him quite frustrating at times. I highly recommend this one. If you love mythology, this is definitely a must read.
