Blood and Snow 1

De: RaShelle Workman

Narrado por: Rosanna Weigant

Blood and Snow 1 (Books 1-4) contains: Blood and Snow, Revenant in Training, The Vampire Christopher, and Blood Soaked Promises

"Lips red as rubies, hair dark as night. Drink your true love's blood, become the Vampire, Snow White."

Every thousand years, the vampire queen selects a new body, always the fairest in the land, and this time she's chosen Snow White.

Blood and Snow: Snow White lives in Salem, Massachusetts, with her dad, stepmother, and her cat, Gatsby. Her entire life she's been teased for her fairy tale name, and the fact that her seven best friends happen to be guys whose names begin with the same letters as the seven dwarves.

Everything changes on a trip into Boston, where an unseen stranger bites her, and she's transformed into something not quite human.

Revenant in Training: Snow has been transformed into a revenant - not quite human and not quite vampire. She must discover how to live with the changes, hopefully without killing anyone.

The Vampire Christopher: As a revenant, Snow White craves blood. Especially the blood of her Hunter. But will drinking from him save or enslave her?

Blood Soaked Promises: Snow White must come to terms with her bloodlust. It's one thing to drink the blood of her Hunter, something else entirely to drink the blood of a human.

For teens, but I'm loving it!

Where does Blood and Snow, Books 1-4 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I'm an artist and work into the early morning with my hands tied, so I've recently gotten into audiobooks. Blood and Snow is a fun twist on a classic story, but the narrator is what brought the main character to life for me.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the fact that there were light and sweet moments as well as dramatic and gripping moments. Also, I enjoyed the modern twist on the classic tale!

Which character – as performed by Rosanna Weigant – was your favorite?

I loved Rosanna Weigant as Snow, but she did such a fun voice with Snow's best friend Cindy. She also does well with male voices, without sounding awkward.

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

I listened to the book at about 2 hour incriments. I would like to have 6 hours all to myself to listen straight, but life gets busy!

Any additional comments?

I have always enjoyed RaShelle Workmans books, so I thought to give her audiobook a try and I can't wait to buy the next one! I hope she uses the same narrator.

The narrator should keep her day job!

Would you listen to Blood and Snow, Books 1-4 again? Why?

No, I wouldn't listen to them again. I'm loving the story line and the twist on an old story, but the narrator is terrible. She is monotone most of the time and barely pauses at the end of the sentence so it just seems like run on sentences. I'm in the second book now and am considering giving up listening to the books and just reading them myself.

How could the performance have been better?

The question is how could the performance be worse, and it can't. This is the worst narration I've listened to. I'm amazed the producer thought this was okay to finalize.

Any additional comments?

Don't waste your money/credits on the audible version, read it on your kindle instead!

Not bad for a free book

This starts out slow & kind of bad. The narrator takes a bit to get use to. I got this one free so I decided to give it a try. I will finish the series so I know what happened to Snow White, her hunter & Gabe (I believe he will be back).

Snow is REAL!

What made the experience of listening to Blood and Snow, Books 1-4 the most enjoyable?

The narrator was abaolutely amazing, I personally loved how she changed her voice for each character, and she seemed to get into the book and really enjoyed it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Snow... Duh?! She's the main character of course ;)

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was when she was first bitten and she described the scents, sounds, and feelings... it was all very descriptive

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did, I laughed here and there, especially at Snow's inner dialog

Snow White, a Vampire?

I, like many others have always loved the fairytale story Snow White and the 7 Dwarves but the story that RaShelle Workman has written is unique and intriguing. This is a new take on the old fairytale. RaShelle has filled this story with non stop action, blood, magic, first crush, and a young girl who's changing into something different. It was a great story and I loved the storyline and it flows steady. She adds a different take on this fairytale that makes it more complex than typically expected. I connected with most of the characters, especially Christopher. I think this story is made for the big screen. This is a perfect story for teenagers but adults as well. I actually had many of these ebooks that I had gotten free and my daughter actually is the one who told me about them. I had them in my kindle and she found them. She read every book at that time and I purchased the others.

Rosanna Weigant did a wonderful job with her telling of this story. Rosanna had me immersed into this story from start to finish and if I had the next set of stories, I would've started listening right away. Rosanna did a wonderful job with each characters accents/voices and I felt she did a great job with distinguishing each character. I didn't have any trouble recognizing which character was speaking throughout the story. This is a brilliant story with a perfect performance so overall I give it 5 stars.
