Publisher's summary

The secret is out... Vampires do exist!

When a video reveals to the world that vampires live among us, it’s up to “young” vamp Gregori Holstein, VP of Marketing, to persuade the U.S. government to declare the video a hoax. But first the president wants a favor, one that requires Gregori to spend forty-eight hours in very close contact with the First Daughter.

Abby Tucker would rather spend her nights in a lab than attend her father’s state dinners. She’s dedicated her life to finding a cure that will save her dying mother and needs only two more ingredients. To find them, she’ll have to venture into the most dangerous region of the world - with a vampire. Her Armani-clad escort may be Undead, but he still makes her heart race. And the greatest danger won’t be the predatory hordes lying in wait for them; it will be her undying desire for the Sexiest Vampire Alive.

Good story - dragged down by Narrator.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The Narrator. It has always been such a pleasure to listen to this series, until now.

What did you like best about this story?

There is action, romance and pathos. Something for everyone.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The "Sesame St". voices assigned to the characters were extremely irritating and reduced them in dimension to figures of ridicule, completely spoiling my listening experience.This was a shame as it was competent apart from that. Obviously this narrator had not listened to any of the previous books, unlike the purchasers, which would have helped in characterisation. The previous reader did a much better job, why the change?

Any additional comments?

Tell the Narrator to stop patronising paying customers, this is not a kindergarten library corner!

recommend if you can ignore feminine Male voices!

Great book, but the narrator made all the men sound feminine . Very irritating and annoying!

Absolutely horrible voices!! Good series

I own all of the love at stake audio books and have enjoyed them all immensely, up until this one. The story itself is good, (though not as good as some of the others) but what really destroys this book for me was the narration. I find it funny that, when nearly 1/3 or so of the vocals are Scottish, the narrator cant do Any (French as well) accents correctly, or even minimally. I have to constantly try to figure out who is talking, since every voice tends to mesh together. Out of all of the voices, however, and cringing at the horrible piercing shrieks this lady seems to think all female do from time to time, I must admit... Every time I hear her interpretation of Romans voice, I laugh my butt off. She seems to think that he should sound like one of the OLD Transylvanian vampires from decades ago. Short of the amusement factor, I was sorely tempted to just buy this book hardcopy so I didn't have to deal with the narration.

Hm...

I really did not like this narrator. I fell out of the story all the time and she made the dialects of the different characters sound all wrong. The story is as good as the other ones, but it's hard to keep up when you don't like the narrator.

From sizzle to frizzle

Loved other books this one was like she didn't break a sweat. Author was a no show

not one of her best - the narrator does the rest!

What would have made Sexiest Vampire Alive better?

A better narrator!

Would you be willing to try another book from Kerrelyn Sparks? Why or why not?

I have already listened to al lot of her books - this is one of the two I didn't like.

What didn’t you like about Aimee Castle’s performance?

Her performance!
