Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

My name is Thea, and I’m a monster hunter. Or a monster, depending on who you ask....

My dad trained me to be tough and ruthless, so I could replace him someday as head of our shifter clan. Then I discovered my father wasn’t the man I thought he was. So I went freelance instead. Now, I fight for the underdogs my dad used to exploit. Sure, I get paid. But I don’t do it for the money....

So when a rogue werewolf I’m hunting turns out to be innocent, I want to know who framed him, and why. His name is Marcus, and with his broad shoulders and piercing eyes, he can certainly take care of himself. But someone wants him dead. And I want to keep him alive…. At least long enough for me to figure out what he’s hiding.

Because Marcus is more than just your average shifter. He’s something much stranger, and much more dangerous. An ancient secret lurks behind his fierce, smoldering gaze.

And once it’s revealed, it could tear this world apart….

Tons of Mystery and Action!!

It's a great start to a series by new to me authors! I liked all the world building and how it wasn't to prose-y during the descriptions, and it flowed quite nicely with the story. I liked the different clans in the stories and the names they were given. I'm not going to attempt to spell them, but I liked the mythos behind it all.
Thea was an interesting character and a bit of a loner. I loved her growth throughout the story! I hope it continues in the next one! She had confidence, but wasn't cocky. Though at times help would have been nice, but she just wasn't good at asking for it because she didn't want others to get hurt. My one issue is that she tended to blame herself for things that weren't her fault; it's something I've not particularly liked when characters did that, so I might have rolled my eyes a little, but it didn't detract from her being a likable character to me.
Marcus was more mysterious, but he has his reasons for that. He had this almost sunshiny personality to Thea's kind of grumpy one, so I really liked their dynamic together.
The mystery was pretty cool, too, and it definitely builds to the next book. Though, have no fear: it does not end on a cliff hanger, but you'll definitely want your hands on the next one!

There is violence and swearing in the story.

I loved the narrator! I thought she did a really great job with all of the voices and making each character have their own voice and really giving personality to everyone! I hope she continues to narrate the series!.

Another amazing series by Ava

I really enjoyed this as the first book in a new series by one of my favorite authors. She creates strong lead characters who are relatable as they have family drama and baggage, self doubt and imperfections but they rise above it all to create a trusted circle of friends who help in their battle to right a wrong or fight an evil force. Shifters, dragons, and badassery woven together to draw you in and entertain and can't wait for more!

Great narration

Outstanding story and I loved the characters and their interactions. This was my first book by Molly and I really thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the second book in the series.

Good 1st in Series

This book starts out with the Vampire Hunter Thea doing her thing to help keep humans safe. She was trained by her father, but when she discovers he is not the person she thought, she parts ways and takes ownership of her life. I also enjoyed the cat Shea who keeps popping up.
Narrator does a Great job with Voices and the entire storyline.

Kept me engaged

I was willing to listen to the story to the end. It was interesting enough to keep me entertained, and even maybe willing to listen to the rest of the series. I’m not too sure about the main characters. They were OK but the tale itself was interesting. The narrator did a good job of performing the story, changing voices when needed.

fun story

first time I've listened to these authors and narrator. .I really enjoyed the story. the characters in it are charming and relatable. the supernatural is a fun listen. the narrator did a great job. looking forward to continue on in this series.

Urban Fantasy Series

This is the first book in the Thea Grove Vampire Hunter, an Urban Fantasy Series. I love the cover. Thea and Marcus are interesting characters. The storyline is fast-paced. The world building is captivating. I liked the mystery, the action, and the twists and turns. Victoria Connolly did a great job bringing this story to life. She has a beautiful voice. This is a great introduction to the series. Looking forward to listening to Shifter Battles, the next book in the series.

Action-Packed

I very much enjoyed this paranormal book. it was gripping with lots of twists and turns. it was well written with great flow and endearing characters. Victoria Connolly provided the excellent narration. I highly recommend this book.

Interesting take on paranormals

I love me a good paranormal and finding one that ventures out side of the norm is always intriguing.


The main character is a strong and determined girl who just wants to put bad guys behind bars and live her life. She has gone against her family because she disagrees with their morals and finds her self in some dicey situations. Fun read! I have already started on book two.

Narrator does well and I have enjoyed her so far!

Hooked me in on First Page
