Publisher's summary

After 700 years of life, Marguerite Argeneau finally has a career. Well, the start of one, anyway. She's training to be a private investigator, and her first assignment is to find an immortal's mother. It seemed simple enough, until Marguerite wakes up one evening to find herself at the wrong end of a sword. Now she realizes she's in way over her head.

Julius Notte wants to protect Marguerite, and not because someone just tried to take her head off. She doesn't know it yet, but she's his lifemate and he's determined to woo her. It's been over 500 years since he last courted a woman, but surely the techniques haven't changed. Now if only he can keep her alive--so to speak--so they can have that happily-ever-after.

Great story.

I absolutely Love that Margaret is a match maker for her family and friends

Great listen

Was surprised with this book, I liked how it incorporated the book before it as week lived it parts made me laughter can’t wait for the next one in series.

Awful Narration

Quite possibly the worst narration I’ve ever heard. She keeps pausing in the middle of sentences - sometimes more than once in a single sentence!

Finally! The most important story

Yes, yes. The narrator is stilted, and sounds like a bad Elvira imitation. However, when she is not in her “fake vamp narrator voice”, she is excellent. This is just not the story to have a “campy” narrator. Maybe for Vincent’s story...
But this story explains SO much! Don’t skip it. If you can’t deal with her narrator voice, buy the book. I love these stories. The good people always win, in the end. The mystery to be solved is well written and thought out. Ms. Sands does not write the same story over and over with different characters. The stories build on each other. Hints are dropped and show up 3 or 4 stories later. I really enjoy a smart writer who plans ahead. This one is no different.
I made myself “tune out” the narrator voice, and have listened to it several times. It’s really a good story.

Great Story

It's a shame that such a great story was marred by a subpar reading.

Great story!

I loved this book but I had to listen to it at 1.15% speed because the narrator spoke very slowly, so much so that I personally disliked the book; although, I have read this novel before & knew I loved it, I still couldn't handle the slow, dragged out words & long pauses. If you find that it bothers you as well try speeding it up before giving up on this one because the story really is a great one.

I love the series very much I wish it was true Think what we can learn from it

Fan Favorite 😍

This is one of my favorite books! It was a great book! I love that True Love never fails!

Favorite Argeneau Story so far

Really great addition to the series, with the exception of the narrator. This story was fun, and the mystery aspect kept it from being more of the same.

Now the narrator..... is another story. She had a weird cadence to her speech and her character voices were just awful. The main character, Marguerite sounded just like an 80 year old woman, and Tiny her part sounded like an imbecile. She had little to no inflection while describing events, even the exciting ones. I have purchased several more in the series following this one and I will be looking through them and returning any with this narrator. Seriously, why would you make the sexy main female character sound like an old lady..?

Love the story, dislike the narration

If you could sum up Vampire, Interrupted in three words, what would they be?

kids "save" mom

What did you like best about this story?

We finally learn more about Margarete's story as she re-finds her life mate.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator can breath and she lets you know. I don't know why she feels the need to narrate in such a breathy voice but it's annoying.
