Uncharted by Evangeline Anderson

Blurb

 Commander Terex has had a terrible life. First he lost his mate, then he was taken over by an evil demon, then attacked and mutilated by the Dark Kindred, Two--enemy of his kind. He feels broken and the only thing that can make him whole again is vengeance--or so he thinks.

Elaina Thornton has a secret grief--a sister who is terminally ill with no hope of recovery. She too, feels broken inside--unable to do anything but grieve.

But then a prophesy is spoken--Elaina's healing and Terex's vengeance lie in the same direction, in the mysterious Dark Sector. Ships that fly into this part of the universe never return and yet this is where they must go.

Despite Elaina's fear, she is willing to risk anything to save her sister. Terex just wants revenge. Neither of them is looking for love but sometimes the Goddess has plans of her own. What awaits them in the Dark Sector--love or death? You'll have to read Uncharted to find out!

My Review - ☆☆☆☆

Another great addition to the Kindred series! One thing that I especially liked seeing in this book is that both characters are a little older. Not the usual 20's to early 30's age group that you mostly see these days. Terex and Elaina both share a deep attraction to each other but Elaina tries to bury it because she is desperate to find a cure for her terminal sister. Terex's mate has been dead for over ten years but because of their "forbidden desires" combined with his actions while possessed by a demon he feels that he doesn't deserve another mate. As a matter of fact he plans on hunting down the remaining Dark Kindred and destroying him to atone for his actions. He is hoping that by doing that he will die in battle with honor and the Goddesses forgiveness.

The Priestess calls both Terex and Elaina and tells them that they both must travel across the galaxy to find both the Dark Kindred and a cure for Elaina's sister. Neither is overly thrilled with the news that they must travel together to succeed. Elaina is willing to do whatever it takes to help her sister but she's worried about leaving her for so long and Terex was hoping that this would be a one way trip.  

The planet that they are sent to is based on a completely misogynist rule. Women are basically slaves and treated like brainless sex dolls. I really, REALLY wanted to see Elaina or one of his slaves punch the Emperor in the mouth! Because of the screwed up laws Terex and Elaina were forced to play the Master/Slave roll while they searched for the two items the Priestess told them they needed. Terex and Elaina are put into several compromising positions that make it impossible to ignore their attraction to each other. I won't do a whole detailed break down on everything else that happens other than there is going to be some light BDSM, a terminal illness, a poisoning and an evil political plot exposed. 

Despite the teeth grinding irritation at how women are treated I still really enjoyed the story. There was plenty of action, angst and smexiness to keep me engaged through the entire book and I can't wait to see what happens with this new group of bad guys coming for the Kindred!
