Publisher's summary

All Lady Glynis Wright ever wanted was the freedom to live her life as she pleased. Unfortunately, her aristocratic parents want her to marry well and settle into a life of luxury. When her family becomes guests to one of the most fearsome and powerful vampires of all time, Glynis finds her fate is far more terrible than an arranged marriage. Trapped in the power of her new master, she fights for freedom, revenge against her creator, and the chance to be with the one she truly loves.

Bloody, horrific, romantic and rich in gothic atmosphere, The Tale of the Vampire Bride is sure to thrill fans of the terrible, yet romantic vampires of literary past.

Not bad

A litte slow in the middle but better at the later stage of the story.

A Most Gripping, Vampire Tale!

You really won't be disappointed with this audiobook. This audiobook is most interesting. I especially enjoyed this vampire tale because It was like listening to a vampire tv soap story as it focused on and was built on the concept of a vampire family life. The tale was an awesome and intense display of the vampire world. The narrator was quite good. I loved this story and finished it in just two days time. I so, look forward to the rest of this series on audiobook. Rhiannon Frater is an author whose books I intend to continue listening to.

Not your usual vampire love story

The person reading was good. The story had several rape scenes that bothered me, but the scenes made sense in the story. Not your typical love story that you read nowadays regarding vampires. By the end of the story I was hooked. There is a different woman reading the second story and her voice is grating, but I want to hear where the story goes.

No frills vampire story

First I must say this was very well written. Characters were believable and interacted well with each other. It was easy to feel the angst of the lead female, largely due to the narrator's excellence. What a treat to have a great story and great narrator together!

Vampire Bride

Rhiannon Frater is a one of kind story teller. I loved the backstory of the heroine. I found myself feeling a wide range of emotions listening to this book from sorrow and hate to mirth and pity. And the way she describes the surroundings I could picture it so vividly in my mind. The narrator's voice portrays Glennis emotions and feelings so perfectly and has a smooth clear voice. If your looking for a vampire love story with a twist look no further.

Wonderfully written

I really enjoyed this. The storyline was incredible. The world the author created was disturbing for what glynis had to endure. Narrator did a fantastic job as well. You were able to distinguish the characters and she just had enthralled with story. A great combination. Definitely a must get!!!
