Twice Dead: A Novel of Haven

Twice Dead has another world whence come the shifters and this adds a good bit to this story. Kalayna Price is a top notch author in this fantasy genre and I like all of her books. This book is one of my top ten from Audible especially in the fantasy genre.
Piper Goodeve is excellent narrating this story.

Kita is a very interesting character she is a shapeshifting cat before Nathaniel turns her into a vampire to save her life. She HATES being a bloodsucker and tries to survive by living off wild animals. It doesn't work because she needs a base level of "master" vamp blood and she finds drinking from Nathaniel too intimate. Nathaniel defies the "master of the city" (his brother) for Kita because he obviously loves her. There is a group of scholar magic wielders, necromancers, and everything else you can imagine. You would think it would be confusing but the author works them all in story well.

Kita

Yes

Well worth the time and money if you like fantasy genre.

This book was exciting to me because of the detailed structure of people, place and things. falling within the parameters of the genre. which is expected to be dark and gloomy with the loss of hope, love etc. Is it an easy read? no; but it was well written with a taste of some originality within a tired storyline.

Yes if you had read the first one but hard going due to the ongoing drama after drama and i caught myself rolling my eyes and fast forwarding only to do so again. This got really boring as you just wanted resolution and the story to pick up not another drama to start

It could have been halved and more enjoyable

Great story line, great characters - ruined by the monotony of every turn creating more and more drama which made it feel so negative and never ending. I fast forwarded many times and still would get to a bit and do it again as it just went on and one. I nearly stopped listening on numerous occasions just as so sick of the ongoing story and no resolution. Great book but couldve been halved and been better and less dribbly. Looking forward to next book but hope like heck it doesn't get lost like this one

I understand that stories need excitement and momentum - and I enjoy that, but this series is all doom and gloom with no humor or light moments to break up all of the negativity.

I also hope (if I do another one of these stories) that Kita finally gets with the program and begins to embrace being a vampire on some level - it is just annoying at this point.

The main character, Kita, is so frustrating I wonder why I bother listening to the book. If I was her vampire master, I would put either myself or her out of my misery. She is always making bad decisions. She never listens. Everything has to be her way. And she has not faith in others. With all that said, Nathaniel, her vampire master, is not much better. He never sits done and explains anything to her. Therefore, she is always breaking vampiric law. She comes close to getting both her and him killed. Of course, I don't understand why Nathaniel does not stand up for himself and her. I don't know if I will continue listening or not. At least, I am experiencing an emotion. I just keep hoping the story get better as the books more on and the character start to grow. Then, that brings me to the question. Will they grow??? I guess you will have to listen like I do to find out.
