Resumen del Editor

Someone paid the vampire king’s creepy son to turn me into one of the bitey undead. I’m not hanging about to find out who or why. The vampires want me to stay with them for one hundred years of indentured servitude but I have this thing about following orders so I ran from the streets of London to the wilds of Alaska.

I have an eidetic memory and a can-do attitude. I can-do anything to get away from the vampire king. So when the Sheriff of Portlock, a hidden paranormal town, invites me to be his assistant, I say sure thing. It beats servitude hands down.

At first things seem ideal in Portlock, I make a new friend and even get asked out on a date. But the truth is, there are secrets aplenty. The paranormal council are at each other’s throats, figuratively of course. But then someone rips out a werewolf’s throat, literally this time.

I need to work with the Sheriff to find the killer, before he strikes again. We just need to winnow through werewolf pack issues, council politics, and more suspects than you can shake a stake at. Simple.

Portlock is a melting pot of witches, necromancers, vampires and shifters, but things are starting to boil over. I hope I don’t get burnt.

Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love humor, heart, found family and a slow-burn romance.

Too bloody good!

Once started, couldn’t stop listening! Narrator is the best! I haven’t been hooked in a story liked this in a long while. Off to the next book!

Quick, Light, and Fun

A great light read, with some novel slice of life elements and a fun, engaging mystery. Bunny carries the story!

Good Story, Good Narrator - BAD editing

Let me say right up front that I only made it about half-way through the audiobook before I had to turn it off and read the rest of the book on my Kindle. The Author(s) did a great job on this story. Bunny is a fun character and i genuinely laughed out loud several times.

The Narrator, Alyse Gibbs does a great job, she's does a good job of characters. Most have unique voices, and its very easy to tell them apart.

The problem lies in the spacing between sentences or parts of sentences. Whomever edited the audio files together clearly never listened to the book afterwards. There are soooo many times where this type of pacing happens.

"I took a moment to look over" (2 sec silence) "at the front door that we just locked" (2 sec silence) "to see the largest werewolf I've ever seen."

Also, the gap would range for 1 second to 3 seconds. More than once I thought we were switching chapter only to have the 2nd (or 3rd) part of sentence/paragraph continue. By chapter 25 it was SO frequent, SO random, and SO @#$@#$ annoying that I had to tap out.

I know Audible has fixed bad audio production in the past, and I hope this makes the list, because this looks like a fun series, but I'm not risking another one until I know it was edited by a fan of the James T Kirk school of reading.

I'm hooked!!!!

First Heather G. Harris book for me and I'm already checking out her back list of books. Bunny has had a run of bad luck, and ends up in Alaska working at the Sheriff's office. This was book one so was a bit slow to build but I've gotten to know the characters, the quirky small town and loved it all.
My only complaint at this point is that I have to wait for book 2!
Well written and a stellar performance by Alyse Gibbs
