Publisher's summary

I've always had a weak spot for strange ladies. One very beautiful girl had even warned me that she was, get this, a vampire. But did I listen? No.

Before you know it, I'm being chased by an ugly thug with a gun, and a bullet blasts its way through my back, and, believe it or not, nothing happened. I survived! How? You guessed it. I, Jack Fleming, ace reporter, have been transformed into a vampire, which has its advantages. You never die, you never grow old, you sleep all day, and, best of all, you can hunt down your own murderer.

Bloodlist is the first novel in an exciting vampire adventure series.

Critic reviews

"The pace is fast....Intriguing....An updated version of the old pulp novels." (Science Fiction Review)
"An entertaining blend of the detective story and the supernatural." (Science Fiction Chronicle)

Pretty good

It started off kind of slow. But I stuck to it and ended up enjoying it. The reader was a little monotone but I ended up enjoying him too. It’s different kind of vampire story.

PHENOMENAL!!

I am drawn towards any book with a supernatural and/or fantasy flair in fiction or non fiction. I don't finish all of them and of those I finish I rarely rate them. Of the one's I feel compelled to rate a perfect score is something I've never given, until now. This creation has a plot line I've never come across before, characters that are each well rounded and interesting (all of them), and the performance is so well done I felt like I was watching this story in a well played movie. I could literally visualize the entire "performance". The biggest problem I was left with is that only the first two books are in plus catalog, the rest I will need to use my credits for. That's a bunch of credits. It will take a year to get them all, unless I spend a few hundred dollars getting more credits. Tsk, tsk, decisions are sometimes so difficult! 🤯

Absolutely Enthralling

An absolutely masterfully written mystery from start to finish, with lovely twists and turns and consistent action throughout.

An OK Story..

The story itself is not bad and fairly entertaining. However, it seems like the author couldn't make up their mind about what kind of story to tell. Is it a vampire story or a gangster one
That being said, I don't regret listening to the Audible recording of it.

DCC

that was really really really next time keep them coming and thank you for inviting me into your world

it's okay

The aspect of the memory plot was not for me. It was ok for a bit.

Not bad!

I normally don’t write full reviews but I thought I would for this one. I read the reviews and decided to give this title a try. Happy I did! It’s a pretty cool spin on the typical vampire story. At first I wasn’t sure how much I liked the narration of the story but by the end, the narration and the story had me hook, line and sinker. Excited to hear the next one in the series.

better than expected

this audiobook was better than expected. worth giving a try. I will try some of his other books as well.

Pleasantly surprised

Much more creative than I thought it would be - was expecting a trashy vampire novel (and I was okay with that). Instead, what I got was a smart spin on the vampire-just-borne storyline - set in a film noir detective backdrop. Only downside was that the beatings got a bit repetitive (which the character/narrator made reference to “no imagination”) and I wanted a bit more from the team up between the protagonist and Esquette (spelling?). Some really good performances and, overall, a refreshing take on the vampire myth.

Listen to this!

I’ve listened to thousands of hours of fantasy fiction and this is one of the best written vampire stories I’ve come across. The voice actor is second to none and the mystery, joy and suspense had me on edge the whole time.
I STRONGLY recommend this one!
