The Vampire's Mail Order Bride

Nocturne Falls, Book 1

De: Kristen Painter

Narrado por: B.J. Harrison

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year.

The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better.

Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.

After seeing her maybe-mobster boss murder a guy, Delaney James assumes a new identity and pretends to be a mail order bride. She finds her groom-to-be living in a town that celebrates Halloween every day. Weird. But not as weird as what she doesn't know. Her groom-to-be is a 400-year-old vampire.

Hugh Ellingham has only agreed to the arranged setup to make his overbearing grandmother happy. In 30 days, whatever bridezilla shows up at his door will be escorted right back out. His past means love is no longer an option. Not if the woman's going to have a future. Except he never counted on Delaney and falling in love for real.

Too bad both of them are keeping some mighty big secrets....

So much fun!

What did you love best about The Vampire's Mail Order Bride?

I really enjoyed the character development of the protagonists; you feel like you're part of their world and want to hang out with them.

What other book might you compare The Vampire's Mail Order Bride to and why?

The book is really one of a kind (I mean it's like Halloween year round!), but if I had to compare I'd say it's maybe a bit like the Half-Moon Hollow series by Molly Harper

What does B.J. Harrison bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I read the book and listened to it, so hearing B.J. Harrison lend voices to the characters was an added bonus. He has a real talent for inflection and you feel as if each character has his or own voice. I'll admit I was skeptical about the choice of narrator at first, but I was so wrong!

Any additional comments?

Take a chance, use a credit, and listen to this book... it's light, fun, and entertaining! I loved this first book, and the other books in the series are wonderful also. I anxiously await more from Nocturn Falls.

Very fun and light hearted

I really enjoyed this book because of the fun characters and cute romance. There was little language no smut so all and all a good read.

Good Start to a Series

Good fun read! Predictable, rough in spots, easy listening. Nice to see a paranormal author not use porn to sell books.

Definitely a fun read.

Definitely a fun read. I enjoyed it enough to read the next book. If you're looking for something kind of funny and lighthearted these books may be for you.

Another fairy tale love story with a happy ending.

Kristen Painter's books are predictable from the title alone, but we like what we like. I found the series through a search of Molly Harper type books. The Half Moon Hollow books will suck you in with stories of vampires, werewolves and witches. No I don't work for Molly Harper, but I do like her and Kristen Painter's work. :)
