Very Good

Not sure what I was expecting going in but I was pleasantly surprised and will be continuing the series.

The story was amazing

It took me a minute to get into the accent, but I loved it! Excellent book and excellent reader

Great blend of a vampire book with period fantasy

This book was fun to listen to with good story and the right amount of humor to keep me hooked. The characters are all interesting in their own way and the take on vampires during the western expansion of the US is very well done. The book uses a lot of familiar vampires tropes without falling into traps that ruin a lot of similar books making it a refreshing take on the genre. There are other mythological creatures in the story and they're presented in a way that is always unique and interesting. All narration in the book was also very well done.

Entertaining, consistent and quality

Refreshing to see a competent MC - struggles, ambition but a dose of inspiring perseverance along the way.

Very pleasant

I am not usually one for vampire stories, but I liked the offer of series so I decided to give this one a try and I was not disappointed. The characters feel alive. The mythical creatures are interesting and I’m excited to see where the story go next.

Slow start but it was ok

Definitely a very slow start. First 9 chapters were kind of hard to keep listening because of how slow it was. It got better, but I’m not really sold on this series.

4 stars

The audio is a bit grating at the beginning but after a few chapters is fine. Binged all four novels and enjoyed (almost) every moment.

Enjoyable.

After reading the reviews and listening to a sample I decided to give this series a chance. I wasn't disappointed. The story reminds me very much of the World of Darkness setting with the authors own twist making it both familiar and original. Like many have said, the beginning is a bit disjointed(as if the character is losing her mind and gradually adjusting to the new 'normal') , but it gets oh so much better. I think the Narrator also did a great job of fleshing out the characters.

Not the best at the start, But it gets better.

Its REALLLYYY annoying at that start. But... it does get better. Then it gets GOOD! Just have to be patient.

The character sounds whiny and like a pure fool. But thats just because of what here link to her master does to her. Once her mind is her own again, the story picks up pace. So give it time folks. There is a gem here.

The best!

Come on people, this is the best series of books on this platform, so just buy them! We need to make this sell, so they make the rest of this masterwork!
