Publisher's summary

The series takes place in a world similar to our own but one where vampires, witches, werewolves and shape-shifters live among humans without their knowledge. These supernatural races make up a secret society known as the Night World, which enforces two fundamental laws to prevent discovery: (1) Never allow humans to gain knowledge of the Night World's existence and (2) Never fall in love with one of them.

In Secret Vampire, Poppy thought the summer would last forever. Then she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now Poppy's only hope for survival is James, her friend and secret love. A vampire in the Night World, James can make Poppy immortal. But first they both must risk everything to go against the laws of Night World.

Decent

The narrator, Ellen Grafton, had a good voice for Poppy, the main character. Unfortunately her male voices leave a lot to be desired. The story itself is okay, but not as good as others in the series. A decent little setup story.

Great story. Better if it was dramatized.

The narration was okay, nothing special. Will listen to it again in the near future.

True to YA I Suppose

I read this whole series in high school. Now as a 26 year old, I wanted to revisit the books while working. Unfortunately, I think to appeal to teenagers, it is read by a woman or young lady with a very youthful voice. It was off putting, but that’s on me. I still love the books and the stories, but will just buy the physical books for my personal physical library.

Is there no one to direct these narrators?

I read these back in high school (13+ years ago) and I loved them. Figured I would download the audiobooks so I can listen while I drive or work. While I’m enjoying the story all over again, I can’t help but be annoyed that this poor girl narrating it can’t seem to pronounce some names or words and she sounds like a 10yo making up voices for her dolls. I run into this issue with many audiobooks, narrators seem to not know how to pronounce words and there appears to be no one to help them out.

I really like this book. I like it better than the Vampire Diaries. I think it is a fun story. I would read it again and can recommend it to Vampire fans.

Book #1 in series. Excellent start

Loved it. I’m always looking out for good vampire books n this one didn’t disappoint. It’s book one in a ten book series (book 10 has not been published). Looking forward to book 2.
