Frenzy

By: Casey L. Bond

Narrated by: Amanda Billings

Length: 5 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's Summary

After the world was ravaged by a viral apocalypse, Blackwater is one of the only colonies that remains. The survivors came together to create this safe haven. Nestled between a fierce river and a city's flood wall, the well-being of its residents hangs on a long-established treaty with the night-walkers. Sounds simple enough, but lately, the people of Blackwater have been dying, and the humans believe the night-walkers are to blame.

Porschia Grant starves for more than her parents' affection. Forced to enter the rotation, she will be given extra food rations in exchange for becoming a vampire's breakfast and dinner for a week. The rotation has an extra responsibility as well: leave the colony and enter the dangerous forest to hunt for food. A night-walker will protect the hunters from the infected that roam the woods. But with the treaty hanging in the balance and tension between the humans and vampires rising, anything could happen in the darkness.

What would you do if your only chance at survival might kill you?

It left me hungry for more!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend this audiobook to a friend. I read the ebook first and then followed up with the audio as a refresher before starting book 2 in the series. This is my first look at Casey L. Bond and i gotta say i was impressed. She immersed me into a unique dystopian world filled with zombies and vampires.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Frenzy?

One of the most memorable moments in the story is when Porchia's mom burns all her sisters belongs out of hatred, spite, and loss. This woman is a total B**CH. But at the same time, you lament with their loss.

What about Amanda Billings’s performance did you like?

As the narrator, Amanda Billings, made me fall in love with the story all over again. She did a great job conveying the MC's (Porchia) feeling through her words.

Great story

Spectacular dystopian vampire book! Well written, well performed.

I listened to this while driving, and managed to miss a well known turn, because I was so into the story! You really feel the main character's pain, anguish, and fear.

There were a couple of moments that had a little muffle on the audio, but other than that, it was a beautiful performance. I'd definitely recommend this one!

the voice brought the story alive

What made the experience of listening to Frenzy the most enjoyable?

The voice reading. The woman reading, Amanda, brought the story alive. I had chills starting when I started to listen. She is the perfect voice for this story.

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

Amanda's voice is the character. It is just a different experience than if you read it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes!

interesting

Would you consider the audio edition of Frenzy to be better than the print version?

no... i had to get the kindle version around chapter 17 because the audio crapped out

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Great Audible version of an already terrific story

Would you listen to Frenzy again? Why?

YES! I thought the voices were clear, engaging and the story is one of the best I've read and listened to over the years.

What other book might you compare Frenzy to and why?

It's kind of a mixture between Hunger Games, Twilight and Walking Dead if you are a main stream reader. If you are a fan of Indie's Bond's other series - The Harvest Saga and The Hallows by Amanda Hocking. It's romantic dystopian fiction at it's best.

What about Amanda Billings’s performance did you like?

She was clear, showed emotion in her voice.

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

Other than excitement and urgency to find out what happens I had no extreme emotion when listening.

Any additional comments?

Casey Bond's books are phenomenal whether they are in written form or thru an audible. This is one story you don't want to miss. This audible was well worth the buy. The performances by the voice over characters were on point and really brought the story to life.

LOVED IT! GREAT READ!

Absolutely loved this book. Mother's a bitxx and sister's a monster. Main character has no idea how much power she holds over the men in her life. Well, not all are men. What Portia does just to survive shows how strong she really is. Story flowed easily and definitely kept me intrigued and wanting more. Narrator did a very good job. I'm on my way now to get book 2. Highly recommend this book.

Couldn't stop listening

Creepy story that kept me wanting more. Can't wait to tear into the rest of the series.

Story Good - Audible Horrible

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I loved the story so far - Audible was the problem - Audible died at the first chapter on my kindle - since I paid $9.97 for this audible book I wanted to hear it - so I tried to hear it on my computer - and it stopped multiple times on the computer with major difficulties to pull it back up - this last time I'm still trying to bring it back up to hear the rest of the book.

How could the performance have been better?

I have had issues with Audible before - I thought it might have been my system, but now it has been on my kindle and my computer. Once you start with Audible you can't just regular listen either. very frustrating! I don't know why I keep trying Audible when I keep having these issues. When It works I love, but it doesn't work more often than it does.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The book is great.
