Loving A Vampire Is Total Chaos

De: Aura Hayes

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Casey Holloway

A riotously funny, sinfully romantic, and decadently deadly paranormal rom-com about a Chicago detective investigating a series of murders, but when the trail leads to a three-hundred-year-old vampire, this unlikely pair finds themselves drawn even deeper into the mystery, and even closer to each other. Perfect for fans of Assistant to the Villain and True Blood!

Celine Brennan should be riding the high of her recent promotion to detective, but instead she’s been saddled with a case no one can seem to solve with murders so gruesome others before her have quit. Not to mention, there’s something suspicious with a new club in town and her focus keeps being pulled from the case she should be devoting her attention to.

Zavier Lockwood is old. Three-hundred years old to be precise and he’s bored because of it. Killing the scum of Chicago and cleaning up the streets since the cops can’t seem to do it is his favorite pastime. Until he lays eyes on Celine. Soon, he finds his obsession with her far more tempting than murder. After all, no vampire can resist the allure of their mate.

As their paths cross thanks to Zavier’s uncanny ability to be wherever Celine is they both come to realize there’s something far more nefarious going on in the city they both love. They’ll have to work together to get to the bottom of it, but what happens when Celine realizes the man she’s falling for isn’t only not human, but he’s the same one committing the crimes she’s supposed to solve?

Here for a paranormal romance with a strong dash of murderous chaos, a bit of spice and comedy

The book is a wild mix of murder investigations, secret vampire politics, steamy tension, and moments that made me snort-laugh.

The audiobook is mostly in duet narration (though some side characters are included in dual style, depending on the chapter’s main narrator).
Teddy Hamilton absolutely nails Zavier’s unhinged charm. Casey Holloway (new to me, though her voice feels familiar) is the perfect balance to it.

Celine is a tough, smart detective trying to solve a string of gruesome murders while holding her life together. She’s got a sharp mind, a soft heart, and a cat named Midnight, who’s both adorable and slightly terrifying.
Zavier is a three-hundred-year-old gorgeous vampire. He’s totally obsessed with Celine in the funniest, cutest, and creepiest way possible 😂.
And Midnight? Totally his biggest advocate.

The only annoying subplot was Zavier’s “breeding” thoughts, which made me want to throw my phone across the room. It was absolutely unnecessary and way too repetitive. Otherwise, this story had me fully hooked.

10/10 for chaos, blood, and unexpected tenderness.
Can’t wait for Valen and bubbly Ava’s story!

Loved the story flow

Loved that story for their lives and love was not too much.Loved the narrators Teddy Hamilton and Casey Holloway .I love that both of them showed great chemistry and painted a very vivid picture of the story .Author did a great job portraying the FMC as a strong character without making her look like an immature character like I have read in other books from other authors.

Total Chaos!

Loving a Vampire is Total Chaos by Aura Hayes was an absolute delight from start to finish. The banter? Chef’s kiss. Witty, flirty, laugh-out-loud perfection that had me grinning like a fool more than once.

And can we talk about the characters? A cinnamon roll, slightly unhinged, totally devoted (yes, stalking) vampire hero paired with a fierce, black cat heroine who gives as good as she gets? Say less.

The romance is fun, chaotic in the best way, and ridiculously charming, with just the right mix of sweetness and supernatural spice.

Book 2 cannot come fast enough! I am so ready to jump back into this chaos.

Such a Fun Story

This was a funny, medium spicy paranormal romance. As usual Teddy Hamilton was perfect as Zavier- funny and sexy all at once and Casey Holloway's Celine was on point. If you are looking for a light easy to listen to story this won't disappoint.

Excellent!!

I don't normally write reviews but I loved this book. The Narrators did a Fantastic job and I can not wait for the 2nd book!!
