Jefford does it again!

Great continuation of this fun series. The Teenage Vampire hunters in alaska begin to question authority. Can't wait for more!

excellent!

where is the next book! I need to find out what happens! I'm so addicted to auroras story! this book was well written and has a great story! I can't wait to find out more!
narration is great and engaging. it keeps me interested!
I will be purchasing the next book when it's released!

trouble from all sides for sassy Aurora!

Wonderfully narrated, and a smooth, fast-paced story with excitement, mystery and enemies coming from all sides, which kept the intrigue and anxiety high. I loved more of Aurora ' s spunk dealing with crazy family, dating boys, threatening vampires from all sides and the struggles with government controlling her life. More inventive YA/NA supernatural goodness from Jefford and so perfectly narrated. I'm off to download the next audio. What a cliffhanger!

Great! But you'll want the next one in hand!

If you could sum up Bad Blood in three words, what would they be?

A Nice Twist

Who was your favorite character and why?

I don't know. Part of me likes Aurora in this one, but Dante and Fane are always great.

What does Em Eldridge bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I like her voice and feel like she helps bring the character to life in a way I wouldn't experience if I read the book.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No. But it had some witty one-liners

Any additional comments?

I feel like the story ended right in the middle. Make sure you have the next one ready because you'll want to dive right in.

Any additional comments?

Bad Blood is another great addition to this series! Picking up six month later, Aurora is done with boot camp. She has her field test, and then it's back home where she'll be starting college. Her test is to kill a vampire, so the book starts out with action! But Aurora's trials don't stop when she returns home. She's focused on taking out Jared and there's the issue of her new housemate, and a lingering ex-boyfriend. Not all is bad in the life on Aurora Sky though; she's got the attention of the swoon worthy Dante. There is a romance and lots of action.

vampire hunting action was exciting

Bad Blood by Nikki Jefford is the third novel in the series called Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter. This book continues the story of Aurora Sky, a young adult vampire hunter who returns home from a summer long boot camp having finally been trained to be the vampire hunter that she has already been “employed” as. After a traumatic end to the previous year which lead to a betrayal by her friends and a murder of a prominent vampire, Aurora returns home with no one she can turn to other than her vampire fighting team. As she tries to come to terms with her changing relationship with the government agency controlling her life, she must also try to make sense of her relationships and keep her family safe. On top of all that, she is finally starting college and living on her own with a roommate.

As in the previous books, the concept of relating vampirism, fatal diseases, and blood types to the origin of vampirism and the method for killing vampire is one that I haven’t heard of before this series and I think it’s quite unique and interesting.

Overall, I enjoyed this novel. The plot was intriguing, action-filled, and tied in seamlessly with the previous novels. As before there is a lot of focus on how the relationships between the characters change. I thought it was well done here. The vampire hunting action was exciting and it was well intertwined with how Aurora’s relationships changed. I really like the unfolding plot-line and was not expecting all of the information that was revealed in this novel. It is intriguing and made me want to know more. The one thing that really bothered me throughout the novel was that for the most part I personally found the relationship between Aurora and her fellow vampire hunters to be frustrating. While there are hints at the other hunters/informants as having more depth, their behavior and Aurora’s flat interactions with them seems to indicate otherwise. Noel and Fane seem to be better defined. This novel was able to incite a lot of different emotions from me through the behavior of the characters, which is a good trait for a story to have.

The narration by Em Eldridge was good. While I’ve been finding Aurora’s voice a little whiny, and one of the hunters, Valerie’s voice, made me want to throttle her (which, I suppose might be the point), but in general the voicing for the characters was great. The production quality was good. I would recommend this novel to anyone who likes young adult fiction and vampire stories.

Great addition, Can't wait for the next!

I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next!
Lots of action and plenty of drama. I can see the plot growing and can't wait to find out how it all ties in!


Bad Blood picks up 6 months after book 2, Northern Bites, when Aurora was sent to boot camp. She's completed her training, and been away long enough for the suspension to die down about her involvement with the murder of Marcus. Or so they thought.

Aurora comes home to find that everything has changed. Her mom is a acting like a different person, Daunte has devoted himself to her, and she has an awesome new place to live near campus. Things are looking up for Aurora Skye... until she meets her roomate.

Noel Harper. Former goth best friend that she caught with her ex before being shipped off to boot camp. Noel is no longer the sweet goth girl she once knew, now shes all bright colors and smiles.

Add in to the equation that Aurora is now friends with her former arch nemesis, her ex keeps showing up unexpectedly, Melcher has assigned her to a case she doesn't want any part of, and crazy vampires are popping up in every direction with a different agenda!

Great Series!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the second book in The Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter series written by Nikki Jefford and narrated by Em Eldridge. You will want to read this series in order just so you get a feel for the characters. Aurora is a vampire hunter on assignment in Alaska to help them control the vampire problems there. She is able to kill vampires by using her blood to paralyze them, giving her time to kill them. Aurora returns from boot camp to a new assignment, an unwelcome roommate, and the attention of a certain vampire hunter. Aurora is working undercover at college to uncover a network of swanky parties known as “Tasting” for high rolling vampires who like their blood laced with fine wine. These books just keep getting better and better.

The narrator Em Eldridge, did a wonderful job, and was very easy to listen too. She did a great job with the different characters and their voices.

This book has a great story; if you are looking for a great romance, then you need to get this book. I am looking forward to the next book by this author. Once I started listening to this book, I didn’t want to stop until the end.
