Publisher's summary

Finn

Stumbling into a crime scene is pretty typical for me. As a human, joining the VRC has done everything but keep me out of trouble. And now I seem to be playing a part that I’d really rather not play…if I want to keep my head, that is.

By my side is my partner Marcus, a vampire who has vowed to tear the world apart—and even a mattress—to keep me safe. I want to do everything I can to protect my newfound family, no matter what we’re forced to face.

Marcus

When ghosts from my past step right into my path, I want to look the other way. I’d rather enjoy my life with Finn, figure out a way to make my brother less obnoxiously gaudy, and find out how to never go roller skating ever again.

Finn is the bravest person I’ve ever met, but he’s also a human and we’re working against some of the strongest vampires in existence. I’m left doing what I can to shield those dearest to me while trying to keep the past from consuming the present.

I can’t let the same mistakes happen again.

How to Defy a Vampire contains peculiar festive wear, misguided attempts at welcoming a human, and Marcus terrifying everyone as usual.

I Love the VRC!

I love all of Alice Winters books, but the VRC is definitely my favorite. This book is great like the first 4, with way too many laughs to count.

More fun ensues

The VRC is the perfect combination of action , comedy and suspense. this series keeps you on your toes the entire time!
this Time we go back to Marcus and Finn, when Marcus past comes back to mess with our couple this round. the VRC is being pitted against the vampire council and lets just say it doesn't end to well for the Council. fun read can not wait to see what's next with this series.
Michael as usual does an amazing job and honestly do not know how he van do some of these lines without cracking up.

Good story. Good narration.

The focus is back on Finn and Marcus. Of course Finn has found himself in trouble yet again, and of course Marcus is ... being Marcus. Chaos happens, but not without a few uncomfortable displays of affection and property destruction. This was another amusing addition to an entertaining series.

Once again, Michael Ferraiuolo does an amazing job of adding personality to the dynamic cast of characters in the VRC series

Love this series!

This is the first Alice Winters audiobook that I've gotten. I love this series, but audiobooks are still growing on me. The narration on this is good. It really helped move the story along and I enjoyed it for the most part. I didn't love the accents for Alexei or Ender, though. Those parts were relatively brief, so it only brought my Performance rating down to 4 stars. I'll keep it in mind, though, for stories he narrates with main characters written with accents as that might be too much for me.

How to Defy a Vampire

Another great book and a wonderful audible of the book. Micheal Ferraluolo does an amazing job giving voice to this fast paced, funny, and steamy story. Can’t wait for the next book and audible in the series to be released.

This series gets better & better

I love this series! And each book just gets better and better. Michael Ferraiuolo does a fantastic job of narrating, the voices remain true and there's nothing that 'takes from' the narration like sighing unless it's part of the book.
