The Vampire King

The Kings Series, Book 1

De: Heather Killough-Walden

Narrado por: Antony Ferguson

It was immediate for Roman. In 3,000 years, he'd never lost control of his emotions, or his heart. But the moment he laid eyes on Evelynne Farrow, he knew she was the woman who haunted his dreams. And everything changed. Everything. Evie Farrow has always loved a good vampire romance. In fact, she makes a living writing them. While sitting in a coffee shop and working on her next mega-hot book, Evie is approached by a tall, dark, and handsome man who could have been pulled directly from one of her novels.

Unbeknownst to her, Roman D'Angelo is exactly what he appears to be - a vampire, and not just any vampire, but the king of vampires. Unfortunately, while Roman is both ancient and invulnerable, Evie is flesh and blood. Just as Roman decides that he and Evie have a date with destiny, for reasons of their own, an ancient god and a homicidal vampire take an equally strong interest in her. Can Roman fight off the incredible forces that would have Evie as their own long enough to win her heart? Or will destiny betray him and destroy everything he has ever dreamed of?

A wonderfully immersive fantasy novel!

I loved this book. It was so inventive and kept me listening on the edge of my seat the entire time, even though the books I typically listen to have more sexual content throughout. While I was glad something FINALLY happened at the end, I wish that we were given more than just one scene and it seems there are other books in the series so maybe there's more to come. This was definitely more a fantasy feel to it than what I've been used to but it was very well done even with the outlandish abilities of the characters involved, which is saying something since I'm something of a cynic. Antony's voice was nothing short of brilliant; I've heard some pretty horrid English accents and whether or not he actually is English, he sounds the part and sounds like a well-spoken man that a girl could listen to all night (which I did, I listened to this within one day). If you're ready for a book that is something sexy without any sex until the very end, this is the one. Just keep your imagination open and let Roman in!

Listen to The Big Bad Wolf series first

These stories are intertwined, I love that each one continues the overall story. Don't listen to the negative reviews,just listen in order.

The continuation of the supernatural story theme!

I had to go back and get the 4 books about the wolves prior to this book. Now the storyline is making sense,

Would be 10 stars if it had more dialogue.

This was a fantastic story! Wow I just loved it, I read it in one sitting I couldn't put it down. This book would be getting 10 stars if there had been more dialogue in it. For me dialogue is very important when reading a book. Even though this one was lacking in dialogue I have to admit it was still a great read/listen I am hoping the rest of the series will have more.

The characters were fantastic, so many varieties of characters and powers, its magical, and opens up a whole new world.

AHH Roman...now that's what I call a Vampire! The story was great. The sex was mild and minimal but it was there, barely, but it was there.

Credit worthy? OH YES.

Sexy and action filled

Had to wait a bit but the sexy was worth the wait. Moving on to book two
