Garden of Secret and Shadow

The Vampires of New Orleans, Book 1

De: Madalyn Rae

Narrado por: Alyse Gibbs

Grad student Amelia Lockhart has lived in New Orleans her entire life. Growing up alone in the worst part of the city, she learned the only person she can depend on is herself. Her luck seems to change when she scores the perfect apartment in the heart of the French Quarter for a steal. It seems too good to be true, and she soon finds out it is.

When Harrison Chamberlin, one of the oldest and strongest vampires in the city, saves Amelia’s life, he opens his home and library to her for as long as she needs.

As she’s thrust into a world of vampires, werewolves, witches, and imagination, she soon questions everything she’s ever known about New Orleans, life in the French Quarter, and most importantly—herself.

The narration and how well the story was told

Love this series can wait for forth book I really like where the book location is set. And how the book took you from the beginning to the end

FINALLY!*

I have been waiting and searching for an excellent vampire story that feels real and not a teenager distophian warring werewolfves vs vamps so called adventure. And there are hundreds of them to dig through.. I can't wait for the rest of the series. I just hope some will come with my membership and I don't have to pay extra for all of them. I highly recommend this book 100%!!* 🌹

Meh

This book is a good start but needs more development. Also, as someone from Louisiana, I would rather hear no accent than a poorly done south Louisiana accent.
