This story was so boring. I enjoyed the first book in this series and bought the second book. However, so much didn't make sense in this telling. The tale really dragged on and on and on. Don't get me wrong there were high points, (the penis bones), but the development was poorly done, and the rescue of Isabelle was just rushed. If you have nothing else to read then read this otherwise skip it. I was sooooo disappointed.

This book was very entertaining, just a bit less so than the first book. The main character's inner dialogue was less pertinent and a bit more repetitive, as if the author was distracted about half way through. It picked up again at the end. Can't wait for book 3.

The first book took me a bit to get into but I'm glad I did. I'm enjoying the series so far.

Hellbent was the second book in this series and I feel robbed that I didn't listen to the first book (Bloodshot) prior to enjoying this tale.

Excellent secondary characters, all well written and interesting. This vampire, Raylene Pendle, has surrounded herself with a variety of misfits. Her primary job as a high end thief is challenged by a contract to steal some 'penis bones' for a collector.

You cannot guess where this narrative is going, ever. It's well read by Natalie Ross, who manages to seamlessly voice all the secondary characters and give them individual voices.

I liked this book a lot. I will be getting Bloodshot next!

Vampires, witches, and funny intrigue. Okay, so that's three nouns, an adjective, and a conjunction. That means it's in the style of the book, so sue me. If you can find me, that is.

Enjoyed this second installment in Cherie Priest's vampire series. The story was great, but the narration by Natalie Ross was even better.

I have listened to the first book in this series and really liked it. Read my review for Bloodshot. So needless to say I liked this one too.
I have to say that the storyline of Raylene the vampire thief and Adrian her hot ex-Navy seal slash drag queen friend is funny and incredibly unique. To me at least. This time the story had a few elements that were over the top funny and just over the top.
In this book, Raylene has to steal a box of penis bones. (I can't even type it without laughing). I know that you are saying..."Alysia there is no such thing as penis bones." *snickering* I know but apparently unicorns, werewolves, and other mystical creatures do have them. And why are they so important and valuable? Because they are used in magical spells of course. Cherie Priest is a writes in a funny (please don't take it serious funny) relax style that makes you completely forget Raylene is a vampire. There is no "need to feed", "bloodsucking" or crazy vampire sexual lust here. And I love Cherie Priest for that.
This audiobook has tons of action to keep you engaged. Enough funny to keep you laughing and plenty of content to keep you interested just in case you didn't read the first book.
By the way...Raylene is a good swear like a sailor! So if four letter words hurt your ears, you might want to read the book.
One more thing, Natalie Ross did a great job as the narrator of this audiobook. I could not imagine anyone else reading this book. She is Raylene. BRAVO!

This is a great story; makes me want more every time I listen. I really hope there is more to the story.

Natalie Ross's is perfect and really nails the characters and make the story come alive.
