About this listen

Contains all five books in the Descend series.

First Steps, book one:

Boredom was killing Jay, not in a dramatic way, but in the life of stifled potential way.

He wanted more out of life. Then, without any warning, he found himself part of an experiment with not even so much as the courtesy of a "how do you do? ".

It wasn't really all bad, though. The fit, busty babes outnumbered him 30 to one. Now, Jay has to fight to survive. He has to conquer the dungeon or die. On top of that, he has to juggle a bunch of gorgeous women who are all stuck in the same life-or-death fight as him. If ever there was a time for bonding...

But most confusing of all are the messages in his dreams. Messages that seem to be coming from himself.

Coming Together, book two:

One dungeon floor down, but how many more to go?

Jay and company have survived the initial stages of the experiment. They have had to overcome everything from their dinner trying to eat them to murderous psychopaths trying to carve out a private fiefdom. Worse, they aren't even aware of the impact the dissent among the aliens running this experiment is having on them.

Now, all the survivors seem to want a piece of Jay, which when they are a bunch of hot girls, doesn't seem entirely bad. He just has to sort out who is trying to manipulate him and who wants to be on Team Jay—all the while, finding a way for humanity to survive.

Going Deeper, book three:

Jay has gotten his cluster to come together. But new challenges always appear.

Most frustrating is an old crush from Earth joins them and throws questions into all of Jay's relationships. One truth remains. Their only hope is to grow stronger. To do that, they have to descend deeper into the dungeon. At the same time, Jay has to decide how he feels about the women in his life.

Bursting Out, book four:

The dungeon has become too small to contain their power.

Jay and the others are aware of the fact that they are on a ship the size of the moon. More than that, they know they are the last survivors of Earth. They have to round up the rest of the clusters, build their power further, and burst out of this prison.

Follow Jay as he learns to embrace the power he has but, more importantly, the power of fusion, where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Seeing Stars, book five:

Sometimes, before you can rise up, you must descend first.

They have beaten the dungeon. Now they are launched out into a cold universe. The remnants of humanity need to find a new home. They will meet alien races. Some will be allies. Some will need to be killed.

Nothing worth doing is ever easy, but Jay has accepted his place and will take charge of their destiny.

Although adult rated, and that gets someone to start listening.
It could have been R rated to keep the story moving better.
End built up then just seemed to go fut.

Now I liked the characters and actually enjoyed the early books a lot. However I found the power leaps from book 3 onwards to be more and more ridiculous as time went on, and the author just chose to ignore physics or logic when it was convenient. I also felt the epilogue completely ignored the legitimate issues with the decisions it made and for a book that would spend half a chapter talking about the minutiae of how a power works, the length of the epilogue in book 5 felt like the author had simply had enough

Apparently this is a common trait of this genre (my first toe into it) but this book has made me query titles more before starting a series in future.

First series like this and now I will be actively filtering to avoid similar series in the future

Great fantasy story it does get very raunchy in parts, but still is written very well. Overall really enjoyed the full story felt a little rushed over on one of the species, but maybe that was because I just wanted more
Knowledge about that species! definitely very worth one credit for the whole series. Amazing really

fun story

I wanted to try something different and came across this epilogue. For me this book was a perfect merge of saucy content and science fiction with a decent story line. was not disappointed at all.

so much better then I was expecting
