Publisher's Summary
Dorina Basarab is a dhampir - half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. So far, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing.
Back home in Brooklyn, after the demise of her insane uncle Dracula, Dory is hoping her life is about to calm down. But then she gets some visitors. A friend wants Dory's help in finding a magical Fey relic, and the gorgeous vampire, Louis-Cesare, is desperate to find his former mistress Christine.
Dory and Louis-Cesare quickly discover that the same master vampire Christine is bound to is also rumored to be in possession of the relic. But when the master vampire turns up dead, they realize that there's more at stake than a missing mistress. Someone is killing vampire Senate members, and if Dory and Louis-Cesare can't stop the murderer, they may be next.

"Second in Mignight's Daughter series"
The first book was pretty good for an urban fantasy. I liked the narrator as well. I always listen to the free listen before I purchase a title, especially if I don't know the narrator. I enjoyed this book more than the first, possibly because I already had a background of some of the characters and this had more twists and turns in the story line. Like I've said not a Loral Hamilton, nor Kim Harrison, but something enjoyable and different none the less.

"Love the Book, Hate the Narrator"
How could the performance have been better?This narrator doesn't know simple words, for example, she insists on using the word "fort" for "forte" which should be pronounced for-tay for heavens sake. That drives me insane and there are others. She didn't even try to sound similar to the characters from the Cassie Palmer books. I hadn't planned to listen again but I love the story so much, I had to buy it and then fussed at myself all the way through for having done so. I wish I had bought the nook version.

"Highly recommended"
What does Joyce Bean bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?I read this book a couple of years ago, and liked it. But the writing pace was almost frantic, and I found that I missed details (I read fast).
As an audiobook, I LOVED this book. I picked up a lot of small details that I missed when reading the book. The book is by turns funny, dramatic and suspenseful.
The narrator did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life

"Great Series"
This series is captivating but this book is extra special because the author put in a scene that made me laugh so hard I cried. She did it at the perfect moment when the situation was hopeless and lots of entities, vampires, faeries and humans are dying so the "reader" is all tensed up waiting for disaster to strike and then she drops in this amazingly hilarious scene. I hope that she meant it to be funny otherwise I have a skewed sense of humor. It would be terrific if she put at least one funny scene in each of her books. The humor is much like Janet Evanovich whose Stephanie Plum books I love.

"Another winner!"
I really enjoy both this series and Chance's Cassie Palmer series. This was really good. Great plot, characters and narration. Can't wait for the next one in Oct. Hope it comes to Audible.

"Too Hard to Follow"
What would have made Death's Mistress better?Less side stories. Really loses it's focus after the beginning.
Has Death's Mistress turned you off from other books in this genre?Nope...Just this series...and probably this author.
What about Joyce Bean’s performance did you like?Always love her voice.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Death's Mistress?Too many to name.
