Or vampires, as they're more widely known.

Good

Short story for the beginning of a series that introduces all to the main characters. The storyline is entertaining and interesting and the characters are for the most part interesting. The story ends on a cliffhanger which is an unfavorable event. The narrator did a nice job!

A short story at a novel's price.

I loved the storyline but was disappointed that there could have been so much more of it and there isn't. Also, it took me a while to get use to this series being completely different than the Scarlet Barnard, Disrupted Magic and Boundary Magic trilogies. I found myself arguing with some of the vampire "facts" because they are so opposite of the above mentioned series and the whole shade saliva thing is just wrong. other than that, I truly did love the story as I have all books by Melissa F. Olson.

Good storyline but bad narration

Overall the storyline is interesting but the book is too short and I felt really bored listening to rhe narrator, I wish he would have placed more enthusiasm. I just do not recommend this ine sorry.

Great story just too short

The only bad thing I have to say is I wish the story had been longer - very enjoyable.

Enjoyable Read!

I REALLY enjoyed this; just disappointed it was so short. I would not call it a Thriller or Suspenseful; I generally avoid both. It's just a uniquely different take on vampires...and since there is (at least one) "good" vampire, I like it.
The more I read (and that's a great deal), the more I look for & appreciate the creativity of a story. The creative mind is a gift & greatly appreciated by this reader.
