Stygian's Honor (Breeds #27)

4.0 of 5 stars 4.00 · rating details · 2,405 ratings · 238 reviews

Window Rock, Arizona, is the last known location of Honor Roberts, who vanished when she was just thirteen. It was her only sanctuary from the Breed research that would surely have ended in her death—one such insidious experiment should, indeed, have killed her. That she lived is both a miracle—and a great mystery.

Stygian’s mission is to find Honor Roberts, no matter the...more

I used to love the 'Breeds' stories - they were hot, deliciously angsty, sexy, emotionally taxing, and just plain HAWT.

Well now... the stories just seem to drag from sex scene to sex scene. They've definitely still got the steam factor, but it's all so.... perfunctory. And that is not hot and sexy. That's just steam for the sake of steam.

I started reading Lora Leighs (LL) breed series at Styx's storm and because i loved that book i started reading the series. Most if not all of the books are written the same way its like reading the same book with different character names. I had to skip out on a few of the books as they were too repetitive and boring.

It was a blessing when i read Dawn's awakening i thought it was one of the best breed books and it started the Cassie saga. After reading that book with the whole sniper and the mystery man stalking Cassie i got intrigued. I really thought LL would have continued Cassie's story however she said she would eventually write Cassie's story but she has some maturing to do. That still did not stop her from give us some more info on the cliff hanger in that book.

After dawn's awakening the other books were so boring its like she made a leap and fell in the same pattern she had before. This is because she did not continue the most important and intriguing parts of the story.

I still read her books to see what she writes about Cassie in order to build her character and her maturity for her mate. Surprisingly LL does not mention much of Cassie in her other books. Just a few pages her and there which totally have nothing to do with Cassie being mature. i thought Navarro's promise would be a turning point for Cassie as Mica is Cassie's best friend but the story line was flat and not that interesting. LL even hinted that Styx's Storm was a turning point for Cassie but as it was the first book i read in the series i had to read it again to refresh my memory. that was the only book which actually showed Cassie acting more like a teenager than a child and thats what i expected from the others but they did not delivered. its like after that book Cassie went back to being the little child that needs her daddy Dash to protect.

Stygian's Honor

I dont know what i expected from this book i guess i expected something about Cassie because she is the only reason i am still reading this series. But her cameo was just ordinary. Nothing about building her Character.

I liked the first part of the book you know the "chasing" between Stygian and Liza. However when the chasing was over the book went flat. I think LL needs to wrap up Jonas's daughter story and move on.

I like the fact that she showed us a little about who dog is. In addition i think she should develop the story's of the characters that are already in the series and not bring in a new characters and then write a book about the new character.

I was disappointed with this book. Stygian is a great hero, understanding and supportive, and not too much dominating and possessive. I had problems with Liza, she's too indecisive, she keeps telling him he will destroy her almost until the last chapters even though she loves him.
Jonas' actions seemed at times not really logical, and the plot about Amber's sickness goes on and on and on without real evolution. I hope the next book put a closure to this.

1 This Amber storyline has been drawn out long enough. Either find the cure or let Amber pass.

2 Once again it's borderline rape with the breeds using their sexuality to get the women to bend to their wills. Yes the women eventually say yes, but it's always no until they use the mating heat on them. The breeds are just Wyatt's whores. He says take them to bed, they do.

I've read all of the Breed books, and this may have to be my last. If you've read the past six or seven books in the series, you've already read this book. There was one good thing- I loved Stygian. He was dominate without being pushy and a great hero. I just wish he had a worthy heroine. I agree with other reviews on this site about Liza and her spastic, all over the place emotions. There is a line between torn and annoying and Liza lived on the annoying side of the fence too often.

Twenty-seventh in the Breeds paranormal romance series revolving around a genetically altered people struggling to survive. The couple focus is on Stygian Black and Liza Johnson.

My Take
It's been a number of books so far and I still haven't grasped why the Navajo refuse to open up the database of DNA profiles. I really don't understand why it's such a big deal. Supposedly the Navajo want to help their people and the Breed DNA is part Navajo.

I've really enjoyed the previous Breed books but this one just didn't do it for me; which is sad because Stygian is one of my more favorite Breed heros to date. He manages to do the alpha thing without being overbearing and he's a character I could see someone being legitimately attracted to even without the mating heat (let's be honest, that's the only way some of these guys get the girl). However, I feel like Lora Leigh wasn't quite sure where she wanted to go with Liza--or maybe it was too ma...more

A classical Breed romance: with lots of fights for independence (and we all know how they end :P), and a complex plot to keep the story up and kicking.

I loved the overall plot and the way the good guys (both Breeds and Navajo) are not that good (who wouldn't want to kick Jonas' backside? Here more than usual, I admit).
Liza is right when she declares you can't trust the Breeds and that they have the same goal and at times the same methods of the Council...

Coyote's Mate didn't quite do it for me and then all her books went off the rails with inadequate plotting, insane editing problems and generally subpar writing.

Don't get me wrong the last few books have been good and I enjoyed them they just lacked a little something that the earlier books had. This is a continuation of the story line about Amber and Jonas trying to find a cure for what Brandenmore did to her. Jonas is after two breeds and two young women in that are supposed to be part of the Navajo Nation. One of these young women is Honor Roberts which was mentioned in Jacobs Charity. I am surprised that it has taken this long to write her story. I have wondered for years what happened to this person that seemed so important to the continued safety of the Breeds. I also have to wonder if the same experiments that were done on Honor were done on Charity. I loved getting to see Dog and Loki and Mutt and the rest of the Coyotes that seem to live to give Jonas grief. I also have to wonder what little scheme Dog is up to. I have a feeling he can be as bad or worse than Jonas. It was also nice to see Cassie again, although I would have liked to see what she had to say after the attack on Honor. I am curious about what was going on with Liza and the spirits that were with her. I am also curious about the spirit that seems to have attached itself to Stygian. I am pretty sure it is Fawn Corrigan's spirit and she is afraid of Gideon. I would have liked to see more about Gideon and I hope that Lora has a way to same him. He tugs at my heart strings and I would like to see him healed and happy. He so deserves it after all the Genetics Council has put him through. I hope that Lora has a plan to shut down this part of the Council's experiments and lab. I am glad that Gideon is delivering retribution on those that were involved. I am sorry that it is causing so much upset because he is killing them but they deserve so much more. No one should have to put up with so much torture and humiliation. I am hoping the next part of this story will be out soon. I hate that Amber is hurting and so sick. I hate that Jonas is so worried and desperate to find a cure any cure for Amber. I am worried he will miss something and make a mistake that will get him hurt or worse. I definitely recommend this book for any of those that may have given up on the series. While you need to read all the books to understand what is going on in this book I think it would be worth the time.(less)

Stygian's Honor
First off I like the cover with a ghost-like wolf emerging from the brownish gray background. The wolf looks really mad and determined. Then you have Stygian's nude, very defined torso and arms in the front, with his hands tucked into his jeans, casually tugging the waistband down, with a interesting tattoo on his left bicep.

I use to read the Breed series but I stopped around the 9th or 10th book. I picked this one up cause I needed it for a GR Challenge that I am doing.

Whenever I pick up a Breed book I expect three things: a dominating male, a pissed off female, and lots of very explicit sex. This book delivered right on cue, but I've come to realize I'm not necessarily satisfied with the same old formula anymore. Just once I'd like the heroine to maybe not be a total bitch to the man who is trying to worship at her feet. Just once I'd like maybe less than half the book to be sex scenes.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit, primarily because of the connection with the Navajo Nation, and how certain members have gone out of their way to help those from the Breed research stations who've escaped disappear and blend in with society! Liza Johnson is in training to become one of those agents that go out of their way to help the Breeds, and she is also an assistant to the chief of the Navajo Nation as well.

Stygian is a Breed warrior assigned to try and track down the last known location of Honor Roberts and 2 others who had escaped more than a decade earlier. The last known location of Honor was in Window Rock, Arizona, and she had escaped when she was just 13. It was surely her only sanctuary from the Breed research facility that would have ended in her death, and one of those experiments should have killed her, but hadn't. And now, to save the daughter of his boss's daughter, dying from a similar virus... Finding Honor is his only hope, and Liza Johnson may be the key in his hopes of finding Liza. But will the mating heat that develops between Stygian and Liza get in the way of his goal?

What I liked about this story is that Liza is one of the only human females that finds a way to dampen the mating heat between them, and it drives Stygian crazy! It seems Liza has stuff going on inside of her head that no one knows about, and being close to Stygian is too much of a distraction for what she is trying to do, and she hates how the Breeds have come in demanding information that is sacred to her people. The family dynamics between her and her parents is amazing, as well as how opposite it is for her best friend and her parents. Secrets get unlocked and turmoil builds up. It is really a riveting read, but the one problem I have with most of this series, is that there is too much focus on the sex, when the story itself is so interesting. Of course, the mating heat is all consuming for the couple when it is finally triggered, so I really liked that Stygian was more frustrated than his mate for a change!(less)

“Hmmm... What are my thoughts on this book?” That is what I wondered as I finished the 27th Breed story. I have mixed feelings, but that is probably more a reflection of the direction of the series and a combination of reading so many of these books, rather than Stygian’s Honor as a stand alone body of work. As I've said countless times before, Breeds is my guilty pleasure. But lately the books have left me a bit unsatisfied, and Stygian’s Honor is no exception. My biggest complaint is that the books feel very formulaic. Although the set up and situations are unique to each story, there are common denominators that are frankly becoming tiresome for me: the alpha breed male determined to "break" his female, the human female mate who feels mating a breed will ruin her life, Jonas being an ass (and he reaches a whole new level in this book!). In addition, the once erotic sex scenes have become a series of words and phrases repeated time and time again. And at times, the point-of-view changes from one character to another without any clear indicators, which can make the story difficult to follow.

With that said, there are some things I liked in this book. First, I really enjoyed several of the conversations between Stygian and Liza. Many were open and direct, which was a refreshing change from other pairings. She is much more knowledgable about the Breeds and their secrets than other heroines in past stories, and she was willing to let Stygian know where he stands. In addition, Stygian knows from the start that Liza is his mate and embraces this fact. He doesn't want to lie to his mate and while he doesn't, he is still careful to not reveal too much.

Second, I was very happy to see Cassie back in action. Although her role is small, it was exciting. We saw more of her special "abilities" front and center. In addition, we witnessed a few more clues as to what may be coming. I'm still trying to figure out who she will mate with one day... I have my suspicions.

Another plus is Coyote Breed, Dog. I enjoy his sarcasm and wit. His character is tough to read, and I like trying to figure him out. There is one short scene near the end of the book that has me reeling and wondering what Dog is up to.

As for the overall story arc, we last left off with Jonas et. al. searching for two human females and two Breed males that were part of the Genetic Council's testing of the Breed Mating hormone program. Jonas believes these four carry the answers to cure his young daughter from the effect of the drugs former Council member Brandenmore used on her. The team is set up on Navajo land and are bullying their way to find answers. In Stygian’s Honor we do get some of these answers, but not many. I don't feel like the Breeds are any closer to solving the mysteries of the Brandenmore drug.

I liked Liza for the most part. She is strong and fiercely independent. I also appreciate that Stygian makes a huge and successful effort to allow her to remain that way. However I felt that her character was too "wishy-washy,” with radical emotional shifts and apparent changes in beliefs when it comes to her family and the Breeds. One minute she wants out from the Breeds, the next she's happy. She goes on about how she loves and trusts her father, but then rails on him. It was inconsistent behavior that frustrated me.

Another thing I'm not happy about is that Liza is tied into a covert group known as the Navajo Underground ... This team of friends plays a large roll in her life, and we see a lot of them in the beginning of the book. However, once Liza falls under Breed protection, we hear nothing of this group again. It felt off and gave no closure.

Even though the scale seems to weigh heavy on the negative side in my review, the book was still enjoyable. There is a reason these books are addictive and I am not ready to give up the habit just yet. (less)

In Lawe’s Justice, the Bureau of Breed Affairs and their enemies had descended on the Navajo Nation in search of four people that escaped the labs years ago. Honor, Fawn, Judd and Gideon hold the key to saving the life of Jonas Wyatt’s child and also destroying the Council.

After Lawe and Diane failed to find them, it became Stygian’s job in this book to find Honor and Jonas believes that Liza has the information. From there, it is a typical Breed book. Breed meets girl, knows she is his mate, pursues her, catches her, she doesn’t want to be “owned”, and they have lots of sex, exchanging the magical Breed jizz that bonds them together. I can’t tell you much about the plot because it and the big secret is given away within the first chapter. All suspense is lost at that point. The developing relationship between Stygian and Liza was mildly interesting and held my attention for parts of the book. Stygian wasn’t the typical alpha hero and was able to give Liza the freedom she needed. In the end, I believed in their romance.

The rest of the book I was either meh about or irritated with. I felt the Navajo plot was overcomplicated and dragged the story down. I started to hate Jonas and Rachel a little more. I know I’m supposed to feel sympathy for the parents fighting to save their child but it’s just not working for me. There is also a tiny side story involving Dog that left me confused. I have no idea what it meant, what it was supposed to add to the story, or how it fit the personality of the Breed we have known for many books now.

It wouldn’t be a Lora Leigh book without at least one repetitive word or phrase. For Stygian’s Honor, it was “spurt.” Poor Stygian spurted so much that I became worried about him dehydrating. After 20 spurts in 10 pages, I lost count. Wear your wet weather gear for this one. Spurt, spurt, spurt!(less)

Lora Leigh is a favorite author and an auto buy but I am sorry to say I was sorely disappointed in this book. However, I needed to read it for the story arc. When the next book comes out hopefully it will be better and maybe give a closure to the arc as well.

The best parts of the book were the first few chapters where the h/h meet and show promising chemistry and then the last few chapters where we get more juicy tidbits about the story arc. The middle 200 pages were very confusing! There was such animosity from Liza toward Stygian that I could not understand. She kept going on and on about how he is taking her freedom away from her with the mating heat. Understandably, mating heat and fate ties your hands to the inevitable pairing but her animosity was exessive in my eyes to make me think there was another reason. Then during one of the many bouts of extreme sex she loves him. Again, I know that is how the breed stories work: mating heat brings out the emotions that are already there. But with the excessive animosity I did not feel the natural and gradual procession towards love like in previous stories. There were so many secrets the characters were hiding but unfortunately the way it was written made it even more confusing. Then the ending was like a cliffhanger that leaves you hanging in mid air!! With no known date for the next upcoming book!

This book should have been a novella in my eyes. I am sorry to give a bad review to a favorite author but I am being honest here.
