This Ravenous Fate, Book 1

De: Hayley Dennings

Narrado por: Tamika Katon-Donegal

AT NIGHT IN HARLEM, THE JAZZ CLUBS COME TO LIFE, AND DEATH WAITS IN THE DARK.

It’s 1926, and reapers are growing stronger everywhere. Created centuries ago by cruel medical experiments, these once-human vampires are driven to attack without mercy. Those who protect the city from them hold more power than even the organized criminals who run the nightclubs.

As the reluctant heir to her father’s reaper-hunting empire, Elise Saint knows that the Harlem reapers want her dead. Among them is Layla Quinn, who lost her parents, the protection of the Saints, and her humanity the night she was turned into a reaper. And she’ll never forget how Elise Saint betrayed her.

A wave of mysterious killings shocks the city, forcing Elise and Layla to work together to find out if some reapers are turning human again—or becoming even deadlier. As their investigation takes them from glittering parties to gangster underworlds, the two must confront their complicated feelings for each other. For a new kind of evil is on the rise, one that will destroy reapers and humans alike if they don’t stop it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A blood-soaked tale of ancestral rage, forbidden love, and dangerous magic, with a richly imagined setting as alive as any character. Deliciously dark and beautifully vicious, This Ravenous Fate is the vampire romance I’ve been waiting for.”—Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning

A stellar debut novel

Love the complexity of the relationships. Lots of twists and turns that keep the reader engaged. Looking forward to read part two!

Kept me interested

Likes: story
Dislikes: mental abuse
Narrator was over the top sometimes but did a great job.
Story was good, just needed a tad bit more back ground information.

Wow!!!

Sapphic, black, vampires!! I am totally here for it. I loved the investigation part of the story. I hated her father and still do. He really pissed me off. I thought enemies to lovers was done well. I appreciated all of the cultural nuance that was added. Great story.

Listening to the reader was painful

The story could have been good, but it gets lost so many times. The worst part was listening to the reader trying to over anunciate 90% of the consonants with a weird jarring pause prior to each.
