Jason and Azazel Ambrosia #1
Shudder
Jason and Azazel wake abruptly from their coma, their powers gone. But they are healing quickly, to the confusion of everyone in the hospital. A team of specialists comes in the middle of the night to whisk them away. When Jason and Azazel offer resistance, they are sedated. They awake in a strange, institutional place that seems to have no exit. They are prisoners there, being filmed by an unseen presence. Others are trapped with them as well. Some have been there for years. No one knows how to get out. Jason and Azazel may not have the ability to control minds anymore, but they’re still a force to be reckoned with. And if anyone can find a way out of this bewildering prison, it’s them.

Jason and Azazel have finally awoken from their coma. The only power they have left is the ability to heal. Their miraculous recovery attracts unwanted attention and they soon find themselves forcibly imprisoned within a secret high tech facility. Jason and Azazel must find a way to escape with the other inmates but each attempt is met with severe consequences. This is the seventh book in the Jason and Azazel series and the first book in the Jason and Azazel: Ambrosia trilogy.
Shudder is a paranormal story that takes place about a year after where the previous book ended. I had a lot of fun reading this story. It has a different feel than previous books but I liked its reimagined story line and incorporation of technology.
The story is told from Azazel's perspective. It was interesting to see how much she's matured and changed throughout the series. It was nice to see Jason and Azazel working together towards a common goal. Their weakened magical state and mortal vulnerability added even more tension. It was fun realizing how dangerously skilled they remained even without their magical abilities. It was also interesting to learn their true mindset without their magic's influence.
I loved the setting of the story. The facility's layout was vivid and complex. I liked that it used advanced technology and presented such a unique challenge. The antagonists' were wonderfully twisted. I liked the story behind their motivation and how they turned the facility into a psychological game of sorts. I also liked that it forced Azazel to choose such a drastic course of action.
The story presents a new mystery with an engaging combination of action and drama. New characters are introduced while some old characters return. There were so many twists and surprising revelations that it made me really excited and nervous to continue reading the rest of the trilogy.

And when you think it is said and done.... they awaken!
My heart stopped when I found this novel floating around on the main page of my Kobo... Could it be? Were they back? YES And better than ever!! I tore through this book like staving dog at a steak!! Big and juicy!! I loved every moment of this book! Now taking Jason and Azazel in a total different direction but allowing their love to blossom! Imprisonment would never stop these two from being together no matter who... or what was behind the experiments. Thank you so much for bringing back my favorite tortured duo!!

Another great twisted plot for Jason and Azazel! This story was one of my favorites because they proved to be just as dangerous without having any superpowers.
