Blood Ties Book One

The Turning

De: Jennifer Armintrout

Narrado por: Elenna Stauffer

I'm no coward. I want to make that perfectly clear. But after my life turned into a horror movie, I take fear a lot more seriously now. I finally became Dr. Carrie Ames just eight months ago. Then I was attacked in the hospital morgue by a vampire. Just my luck.

So now I'm a vampire, and it turns out I have a blood tie to the monster who sired me. The tie works like an invisible leash, and I'm bound to him no matter what I do. And of course he's one of the most evil vampires on earth. With my sire hell-bent on turning me into a soulless killer and his sworn enemy set to exterminate me, things couldn't get much worse...except I'm attracted to them both.

Drinking blood, living as an immortal demon, and being a pawn between two warring vampire factions isn't exactly how I'd imagined my future. But as my father used to say, the only way to conquer fear is to face it. So that's what I'll do. Fangs bared.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This fast, furious novel is a squirm-inducing treat." (Publishers Weekly)

average at best

I am a huge fan of vampier genre. This is not the best, but fairly entertaining. The narrator was great in the main character. However, the supporting characters were ear piercing. I felt parts were a little drawn out. I am not even sure if I would listen to the sequal.

Vampire Love, Yeah!

Would you listen to Blood Ties Book One again? Why?

I would love to listen to this again and I probably will later. I really like the whole story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Blood Ties Book One?

Carrie and how she handles or not handles her sudden entry into vampirism.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I had time I would listen to the whole series.

Story had potential, but...

Character development for the doctor turned vampire was nonexistent. She was too accepting of her circumstances and the gore.
Narration was ok except that all the evil vampires sounded like Gollum. And some of the serious conversations sounded too upbeat.
Overall Ok, but glad it was a free listen. I would not have been happy had I paid for it.

Great Vampire novel

Being a vampire fan, I enjoyed the story, and am on the the sequels!

Blood Ties

I probably would not read this book, but I will probably listen to the next book. A little elementary in the writing, but interesting enough to keep me going. The audio talent was a little whiny, but the book was enjoyable.
