Days of Redemption

The Firsts, Book 6

De: C.L. Quinn

Narrado por: Pyper Down

Life is what happens when you're making other plans. Boy did it! Lauren graduated top of her class, ready for her career in genetic research. But when she was presented with the opportunity to study the most amazing thing she'd ever seen, a virus that completely rewrites human DNA, altering someone to become a Vampire, she couldn't refuse. When she realized that the research society were actually the villains, that the Vampires were not evil, or undead, she helps them destroy the lab where she worked. Now, she's enemy number one, living a life in hiding... if they find her, they'll kill her. The last thing she needs is any contact at all with that forbidden world. And yet, as careful as she is to stay off of everyone's radar, she's drawn back into the world of blood and sex she'd never really been a part of anyway. A vampire crash-lands at her feet late one night downtown Chicago, drunk, sexy, and too compelling. No, no way! She can't let him in.

Bryn's been drinking and partying nonstop for 300 years, a life that always seemed satisfying to an old vampire who had no interest in any serious pursuits. It was enough to have a good time, sleep, and do it all over again the next night. A bad decision to "borrow" a motorcycle after too many bourbons in Chicago brings a woman into his life that he wanted, badly, but she had no interest at all...she knew his Vampire world and walked away from him.

A chance meeting that leads a drunken Vampire, and a lost woman through danger, the rain forest, and sex like neither one of them have ever known. Yes, life does happen while we're making other plans!

A Wonderful Story!

Days of Redemption was a superb story. I love how author C.L. Quinn brings back characters from other books in the series. I enjoy that we don't forget about the stories that came before the newer ones. I always say she out does herself with every story I listen to by her, but she really does. She never disappoints, her writing is perfect, and her story is pure genius. This book has it all, its fun, mysterious, danger the majority of the time, and is loaded with some scrumptious sex scenes. I'm sorry that I won't go into detail but I hate leaving spoilers. All I can tell everyone is that this is a wonderfully written series. I know some might be tired of vampire stories but I must tell you that this series will have you loving vampires again. I highly recommend this series.

Narrator, Pyper Down has done another amazing job and her performance of this audiobook is fantastic. Pyper kept me immersed from start to finish. She does a great job at keeping me engrossed in each audiobook of The Firsts that I've heard her narrate. When changing her accents and voices of each character she blows me away. I love listening to her voice. I can't say anything bad about her narration and I think it's flawless. I don't have any trouble identifying the characters throughout the story. She's another fantastic author that breathes life into a story. I don't lie when I mention that she breathes life into this story and she truly does, no lie. I really recommend that you listen to this story but you have to listen to the first book Forbidden Days (The Firsts, #1) before reading this series.

FANTASTIC!!!

C. L. Quinn has yet to disappoint me! She truly is a master at making the Vampire world her own!! Lauren thought she was helping rid the world of something horrible, but she found out she was working for what's horrible! Her life is turned upside down!! I really like Lauren's no nonsense, I am woman attitude!! Pyper Down brings such emotion to the character's!! She truly draws you into the story!!! I can't wait on the next book!!!

The best book yet!

This is by far the best book in this series so far. I absolutely fell in love with Bryn. Bryn & Lauren together are so much fun! I want a Bryn of my own!!!
Here we are in book 6 of this series " The Firsts". In book 6, we are back with Bryn (the Irish rogue vampire) and Lauren (the scientist from the lab). If we think back Lauren is the one who burned down the lab & freed all the supernaturals that were being tested like lab rats.
Days of Redemption is fun, witty, sexy as all hell & loaded with excitement & danger! I love how the Author has all the characters that we met & loved in the past, keep meeting up to help each other out! I enjoy reading a series & I am already familiar with some of the characters!
Lauren is hiding and has changed her last name and looks She now has a shop in Chicago. Walking home one night, a drunk crashes a motorcycle in front of her. She goes to help & recognizes Bryn, the drunken vampire from back at the lab. He doesn't recognize her while drunk, but later he does. It only gets hotter from here!
Bryn & Lauren start having a tryst. It's just sex though. Lauren knows Bryn will never settle down for one woman. Now you have to read the book to see what else happens. I had laughed many times in this book.
The Author, C L Quinn really out did herself writing this book. This book is total genius! The narrator, Pyper Down rocked the narration! The accents were fabulous. The excitement was more than incredible. When mixing this author and narrator the book explodes! Kudos to both ladies, you are both spot on in this book! Thank you so much! I enjoyed this book way too much!

Good series, awful covers!

The heroine: Lauren - she has been around on and off in this series since one of the first books. She had been a genetic scientist working for a group of people that wanted to find out what vampire blood was capable of. She didn’t know what she was getting into at first, but once she knew how the vampires and other supernaturals were being treated, she did what she could to help the subjects and destroy the facility and now she is living in Chicago, hiding as a florist and was barely able to make ends meet. The people she had worked for are hunting her.

The Story: Lauren hadn’t been feeling good about her lot in life, she knew she had to stop feeling sorry for herself, but it was hard not to when she spent her youth and twenties studying until she got her doctorate, and now she couldn’t use it and was stuck working long hours for little pay, her car broke down, and she had been eating nothing but hotdogs every day. She ran into a vampire named Bryn, a friend of David’s (the vampire she had been researching and had helped to free). The people she used to work for finally found her and were waiting for an opportunity to capture her.

The Hero: Bryn - he is a 300 year old made vampire. He spent much of his time drinking and partying. He doesn’t take much seriously, but when he runs into Lauren one night in Chicago, he decides he wants her. When the vampire studies council sends some men who shoot him full of bullets and take Lauren, Bryn decides she is his and he is her protector. He will go after her and rescue her.

Of course the group after Lauren happens to be one of the most powerful groups in the world, with unlimited funds, and their sole purpose is to understand paranormals and find their weaknesses so that they can defeat them. Isn’t it just like humans to have a group of people that hate others for being different, when all those people want is to live their lives in peace. And of course, they developed some things that they can use against the vampires, even the first bloods. The story is good, and I need some conflict like this in a book, but when it is going on, I hate it. I like for the vampires to be the most powerful and unable to be bested in any situation.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view and was narrated in solo narration by Pyper Down. I usually hate solo narration, but I like her voice and style, so I am not minding it so much. This series has been so interesting which has also helped. I think I will be grabbing a few more of the audiobooks in this series, but some of the later books aren’t on audio, so I will read some as well.

SHE DID IT AGAIN…… A NON-STOP LISTEN

Driving his motorbike while drunk was a really bad idea for loveable bad boy Bryn because it landed him at the feet of Lauren, a human woman hiding from the revenge of an evil Mastermind who kidnaps and experiments on non-humans. Because once he meets her Bryn feels responsible for her and gets caught in a web of intrigue and destruction to protect her….. but the biggest danger for him is falling in love.

This has most of the characters/Firsts from the other books plus more in this exciting story that contains all the usual elements C L Quinn likes to put in her books… thrilling action, nail-biting suspense, hot sex, humor, twists, danger and more because the vamps were all wrong when they underestimated just what a mad human could do.

Worth a credit? Great plot and ongoing storyline, great characters, a great author and a great narrator made this a great PNR listen and very creditworthy.
