An amazing book

I read this book an e-book and decided to get it in Audible. It was an amazing experience hearing the story read to you rather than reading it yourself, but both ways were great possibly going to get it in physical copy due to. I love the series and the author isn’t an exceptional writer. I love the storyline. It was amazing the character Was outstanding love how she takes charge and makes the best of what happened to her and the world building that was just terrific. The story flows so wonderfully. The book really isn’t as long as most books are, but it’s the norm. It was a definite page. Turner must read for me. I really love, vampire, gentry, and paranormal and I would highly recommend this book and the series in any other books by this author to everyonethe narration was terrific the way she talked as the characters and brought the story alive. Her voice was very pleasant. I think the author chose the right narrator thanks for the terrific read. Looking forward to hearing all the other books and Audible to seeing as I have already read them in e-book.

Quirky, Paranormal Mystery!

This is a fun, quirky mystery with a helping of humor, and a pinch (or two) of paranormal!
Samantha Nightshade is a newly turned vampire thrust into the fun world of vampire politics, while also trying to solve a crime that looks suspiciously like a vampire did it. She manages to keep her sarcastic personality and witty remarks even with her new aversion to light.
The story is pretty fast paced, and I'd have liked if it went into a little more detail because somethings are glossed over more. Though, this is a short story/novella, so it makes sense that things would be quick. But I do look forward to learning more about the paranormal world the author created in future books.

This is a quick story (even faster if you listen at 1.15x speed) with a good narrator. The narrator is new-to-me, and I hope she gets to narrate the rest of the series!

New Paranormal Life

Short and intriguing, this story had a murder mystery that not only was enticing but was shocking in the connection to her new life. Transitioning into a world where the supernatural politics complicate everything made this an interesting read and great first book to start off this series.

Audiobook Review:
The narration was an unexpected one, but it was done with unexpected nuances that I thought were great. It was an easy and short listen that was interesting as well as enjoyable.
