Publisher's summary

It's not easy finding love when you're nine hundred years old . . . And undead

Romance novelist Christian Dante is sexy and arrogant, a true alpha male. He's also a Dark One (aka vampire), doomed to spend eternity cruising the singles scene in search of the one woman who can redeem his soul. But finally he's found the love that Fate has chosen for him. Too bad she sees dead people and likes to play with demons.

Allie Telford is a Summoner - and she needs to rustle up a ghost pretty darn quick or her paranormal career will be over. Luckily, she's just stumbled upon a naked and unquestionably hot specter in a haunted hotel . . . who looks disturbingly like the tall, dark, handsome fantasy man who's been coming to Allie in her dreams. But it seems he's no phantom after all - he's a real flesh-and-blood- fed immortal who's determined to make Allie his lover for forever . . . or longer.

Which may not be a totally bad thing . . .

A new author for me - yay!

Such a delightful story with enough angst and humor to soothe my romantic soul! A little mystery, along with some interesting characters makes this a book I highly recommend to all lovers of paranormal/fantasy romance.

The narration was good with a few editing errors noted towards the end of the performance- these did not detract from my overall enjoyment of this story.

Not at all like her previous works!

While some of the diminishing appeal of her recent works can be due to a lesser narrators, though Ms Campbell is not as near as incompetent as Ms Huber who read Sex. Lies and Vampires, it seems to this listener that the refreshing, witty, detailed, writing of Ms MacAlister has become formulaic. Vampire needs girl; Vampire gets girl; girl saves Vampire.

Having devoured all of her Dragon Series, and the few Vampire books Audible had available prior to the recent releases, I was ready for some of what I had previously enjoyed. This was not my experience. It would be an acceptable first attempt at fantasy writing, but to a seasoned writer like Katie MacAlister it is half-hearted prose.

This is Katie-Light and NOT what one who has loved all of her previous works expected. She has descended to the level of Laurel Hamilton which is a great plummet.

Katie please get your art back on track.

Mushy Moravian and his Beloved

Couldn’t get into the story.The narration was ok with the exception of portraying the male voices.Accent was great,but too high for a believable male character.The story was a bit icky sweet for my taste.

Lighthearted PNR

I enjoy Katie Macalister’s animated characters. This series is like dessert... something to sit back and enjoy after a frustrating day.

👍🏻👍🏻
Two Thumbs Up!

A captivating blend of romance and humor

I recently delved into "Sex and the Single Vampire" by Katie MacAlister, and I found it to be a delightful journey through the world of romance and the supernatural. Here's a breakdown of my experience:

**Plot (3/5):** The plot weaves a fast-paced narrative with twists that balance predictability and unpredictability. While it follows a basic formula for the Dark Ones books, it manages to carve out its own unique story.

**Characters (4/5):** The main characters are fully developed, showcasing palpable chemistry that adds depth to the narrative. Entertaining side characters, some from previous books, bring an additional layer with their backstory.

**Writing (3.5/5):** MacAlister's writing is descriptive, painting a vivid picture of the story. It strikes a balance between engagement and complexity, offering a well-crafted narrative without becoming overly intricate.

**Entertainment (4/5):** The book proves to be a humorous and dramatic experience, keeping me engaged and entertained throughout. The well-narrated audio book format added an extra layer to the enjoyment.

**Story Engagement (4/5):** I was thoroughly invested in the story, finding it captivating from beginning to end. The combination of humor and drama heightened the overall engagement.

**Amount of Smut (3.5/5):** The romantic elements, flavored with a vampire aspect, were tastefully handled. The content was vanilla, not overly explicit, and it seamlessly added to the romance aspect without overshadowing the narrative.

In conclusion, "Sex and the Single Vampire" is a charming addition to the Dark Ones series, offering a mix of romance, humor, and supernatural elements. While it follows certain genre conventions, it manages to carve its own niche, providing an entertaining experience for fans of the genre.

A fun listen

I argued with myself over 4 or 5 stars for this one. The story is a bit hokey at times, and feels like riding over a gravel road without shocks at time. For all that, I think that's why I ended up loving it. The storyline is light and very funny, and dare I say, cute. There are vampires galore, although you aren't sure who the real one is at first. I'm not sure the main love interest would survive all the difficulties in real life, but that is true of most fiction. The subsequent books in the series are even better, so at least listen to get to those! And if you like steamy sex scenes, you'll enjoy these quite a lot, adding a nice bit of humor to the mix as well. Enjoy!

Terrible...nothing at all to do with Vampires and

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Nothing to do with vamps in the first two chapters ... only some girl trying to summon a ghost...long long diatribes about her inability to get in touch with a ghost....Do not waste your $$$$$

Would you ever listen to anything by Katie MacAlister again?

no

Would you be willing to try another one of Cassandra Campbell’s performances?

no

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

very disappointed...if there is any sex or vamps it certainly never appeared in the first 20 minutes plus of listening...way too long to listen to a character try to find a ghost..only to summon a cat??

Any additional comments?

False advertising is what I have to say... wasted $ and a book I am a long time customer ...first real disapointment
