Book Review: The Nine: Zane (The Nine #1) by Elle Arroyo

 Blurb: 

Zane is Anunnaki, one of the nine immortals subjugated to walk the earth for eternity while tasked with protecting humankind from the malice. He must bind himself to an heir before the demons secured within his vessel burst free. Except that Zane is not interested in the female chosen for him. Instead, his desire lies in the man he met five years ago and shared an innocent, heartfelt night with. Eric Diaz had left Zane wanting.

Before they force Zane to bind himself with the female, he seeks Eric and shares one night of passion, hoping to satisfy his hunger for the man. But it doesn’t work, and Zane does everything in his power to keep Eric by his side, even risking the human realm and unleashing hell on earth.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

I found this story interesting. The complexity of the different realms, machinations, and expectations. Zane wanted one night with someone he really wanted. He got what he wanted and more. I liked Eric's vulnerability and his strength, his acceptance of what was happening, and his willingness to give it all his worth. Zane was strong, determined, and dangerous. The feelings between them grew and included those around Eric. The ending was a bit of a surprise but a good one.

I received a copy of this story through Xpresso Tours, and this is my unsolicited review.
