About this listen
"You're part samodiva. I knew that when I met you. It's in your blood to be distracted by beauty...and pleasure." He turned to face her, taking in every sensuous curve of her female form. "You seem to have forgotten that it's in my blood as well. Whatever shall I do to remind you?"
Scandal. Blackmail. Obsession. It's just another day if you're a Marinossian. When Annika disappears without a trace, Talvi launches the hunt for his most infuriating rival yet. His only clues are from a government he's increasingly at odds with. In exchange for access to their resources, he does the unthinkable and reveals Annika's true nature. Time is short, but the list of names Talvi can trust keeps getting shorter. Back home at the family's country estate, his brother Finn is blindsided when the missing redhead turns up injured with no recollection of how she arrived. While his mother tends to her physical wounds, Finn's given the task of restoring her memory...and he just can't resist showing her his version of the truth. But playing mind games is like playing roulette - and someone's luck is about to run out.

Created when they intermingled with demons, the dark elves who rule over the fae of Sinaryos have come to rely on humans to keep their race alive.

After avoiding this obligation for too long, the time has come for him to take a harem and prove that he's capable of continuing his family's bloodline.

Story
Three thousand years ago, humans were hunted by powerful races with wild magic until the treaty was formed. Now, for centuries, the elves have taken a young woman from Luella's village to be their Human Queen. To be chosen is seen as a mark of death by the townsfolk. A mark 19-year-old Luella is grateful to have escaped as a girl. Instead, she's dedicated her life to studying herbology and becoming the town's only healer. That is, until the Elf King unexpectedly arrives...for her.

Agenor, Lord Protector of the Fae Isles and right hand of the Mother herself, doesn’t expect anything to still surprise him after twelve centuries of life. Finding a taunting note from an anonymous thief in his wardrobe is enough to rouse his curiosity, though. Enough to do the unthinkable—write back. Then he finds out he’s been exchanging letters with a humble human. Worse, a human challenging him to his face.

For someone like Weston, the best alpha in the world, the one who shuts people up just by walking in the room, it would've been. Until he learns what she is. Finding a fated mate is nearly impossible. Very few are able to do it. But the call of their bond is unmistakable. Against all odds, and in the worst situation imaginable, he's found his true mate. Her.

Enchanted Yet Again For A Third Time!!!
Nick Crakell has done a wonderful job yet again narrating Emigh Cannaday's third book of The Annika Brisby series. I was once again swept away by this enthralling story which picks up right where we left off in book two. With a rollercoaster of emotions, twist and turns. As well as lots of and loss and one crazy cliffhanger. Can't wait for installment number four. Also I would like to give a big THANK you to Emigh Cannaday for letting me be apart of her audio book review team!!!!

Recovery and Betrayal
Where does The Scarlet Tanager rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I would rank it above Silver Thread, but below Flame and the Arrow.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Talvi's and Finn's father Ambrose. Many of the characters behave badly in this novel, and Ambrose isn't having any of it. He puts his foot down and reminds them what is appropriate.
Have you listened to any of Nick Cracknell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, this one was just as fantastic as the others. Nick is fantastic with different accents and inflections. He makes each character's voice unique.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Don't mess with a Marinossian
Any additional comments?
This book begins right where the previous book ended - with Annika being kidnapped by a doppleganger and Talvi close on her heels. After a harrowing experience as a vampire blood slave, Annika just barely escapes with her life. While Talvi is searching for answers, his twin sister finds Annika and delivers her to his family. Under the loving care of his brother Finn, she begins to recover, but the vampires have wiped her memories, and she doesn't remember Talvi. As she grows closer to Finn, they fight the growing attraction that threatens to tear the family apart.
This entire story is told from the third person point of view. Most of the chapters focus on Annika's story, but there are occasional glimpses into the lives of other characters - not just Talvi, but other more minor characters such as Hilda and Nicola. It really made the world feel full, and kept us engaged not only in Annika's plotline, but in everything going on everywhere in this wonderful world Emigh Cannaday has created. I had originally thought this was a trilogy, but I am very excited to discover that I was wrong, and I can't wait until the next book is released.

I love this story so much. It have so much going and just keeps giving more! I can wait for the next book!
I very much enjoy the narrator and how he tells the story keeping you wanting to listen to more.
The only issue with this audio was there seems to be hiccups or repeats in a couple of places.

Completely amazing
I love how Emigh writes her and her details are amazing without being overbearing. There's so much going on in this story, but its not over-whelming. I love listening to Nick as he reads. There is so much emotion and growing and changing throughout the story I can never decide what I like best or even if there is anything to not like. I'm blown away by how awesome this series is so far and can't wait to continue on.

Delightfully Dark
This book took some really dark turns. Absolutely loved all of it. Especially Finn. The ending was insane and is still just as horrifying, even though I've already read all books published. Narration was on point again, too. Moving on to the Darkest of Dreams now.

something doesn't smell right
with how good the first book was, the almost cesspit of book 2, I really liked the third in the series. but it just doesn't feel right. it smells off. Anika had such trauma with Talvi's face, but the first time she sees him she's perfectly fine with it. Nothing has become of the Corvamanin sub plot so I really hope that's resolved in book 4. I'm disappointed that the whole book led up to Anika and Fin becoming a thing just to have it, if you excuse the pun, written off like it never happened. half the time it was hard to even tell if it was a dream or real. it was danced around so much that Anika and Fin had an affair during her glamored amnesia, but then it was all a dream? a shared dream? honestly the relationship between talvi and Anika is so forced it tastes like ash. but the relation between Anika and Fin feels more real because it's not about sex. he cares for her soon to be life not just the here and now.
I dunno. I'll read the last book because I'm already 3/4 done with the series. but I don't have high hopes that the 4th will resolve any of the obvious issues that were casually cast aside.
