Publisher's summary

Anna Strong was a tough-as-nails bounty hunter, until the night she was attacked-and changed forever. Now a vampire, Anna discovers that her long-dead brother may have had a daughter - and the girl's in serious trouble. There are some very dangerous people after her, but they're about to learn that to a bounty hunter with an unnatural thirst for blood, even the deadliest human predators are easy prey.

Very disapointing

I was hoping the main character would be a bit more intelligent in this book than the previous one. But I could not get passed more than 3 and a half hours before I just quit listening to this book. The main character seems very witless, and seems to have no investigative skills for a bounty hunter. Also she doesn't think things through whats over then wonders why she has problems. She's overly secretive and not subtle about it, which causes her problems. She constantly lies to everyone she supposedly cares about and trusts no one except complete strangers. I would not recommend this series if you are looking for a intelligent story that you won't be spending half your time rolling your eyes asking "why are you doing that?"

Like it better than the first book

I actually liked this book as a lady gumshoe story than a urban fantasy. I really didn't see why Anna has to be a vampire in this book. She could have been a normal human being dealing with paranormal beings. I enjoyed this second story a lot better than the first book in the series. I hope Anna uses her full potential as a vampire in the next book.

The Story Is Worth The Listen

While the deadpan delivery of the narrator takes some getting used to, I think the story is worth listening to. Anna Strong is not the brightest fledgling vampire on the block and yet I am enjoying the story and will try book three as well.

needs a new narrator

as in book one, the story is good but narration is killing it, of course now i'm hooked to the storyline,I'll just have to bear it.....my advice, listen to the sample first see if you can take the tone of the narrator first..

This is a average Vampire story. I enjoyed the book but got uninterested in parts.

Really Good Series

I'm really enjoying this series so far. This is the second book and I am happily going onto the third. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I find the narrator, Dina Pearlman, excellent for this series. She has a good smokey tone with a haunting delivery for action scenes that make them almost like a film in slow-motion---very effective and unusual. And it reminds me a bit of a Raymond Chandler-type of narration.

As in the first book, I like the other characters including some very "good" smarmy villians! Also, lots of unexpected plot twists that I appreciate. The only one drawback is the same one as in the first book---what little sex there is, is so tame as to be dull.

But I think Anna's vampire character is spot on because she's new to the vampire world and discovers she needs "training", so it stands to reason that she doesn't make all the right decisions at first. Besides, it makes her more human that the reader can relate to.

Anyway, fun series that I certainly recommend.

Ok I’m done

I gave book 2 a chance to see if Anna “Strong” matured a little. For being a 30-something year old vampire, she sure is stupid. I seen crap a mile always in fact I was on chapter 5, skipped to the second to last chapter, and still managed to figure out what happened. Anna trusts everyone and anyone other than those close to her. She is naive and dumber than a box of rocks. I know she’s blond but come on. Does the author have so little regard for a TRUE STRONG FEMALE LEAD?! The first book I didn’t like but I wanted to see if Anna grew. The storyline was ok and the narrator was awesome. She just shouldn’t have been made a vampire. Honestly, she shouldn’t have been made a main character.
