How to Defy a Vampire

VRC: Vampire Related Crimes, Book 5

De: Alice Winters

Narrado por: Michael Ferraiuolo

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.

enjoyed

I enjoyed this book, I don't know why it requires 15 words to leave star review but here ya go

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.

Finn

5 stars for the narrator

Really Michael Ferraiuolo is one of the best narrator's out there. He does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. His narration, IMO, improves books. So he gets all my stars.

3.25 stars for the story

We are back with Finn and Marcus. There is a powerful vampire out there who feeds off of other vampires. He is part of Marcus' past. Finn's blood seems to be drawing unwanted attention. The counsel of vampires is acting suspiciously and another natural blood vampire is discovered.

My favorite parts of this story include Claude and Alexei. They are just my absolute fav couple. Don't you ever try to take either from me lol. There was very little of DeGray involved in this one that should be fixed.

need more vrc

love Marcus and Fin will be hoping a waiting for the next one. Alice winters is a wonderful writer. I have been going through her books one by one and I can't get enough. and the narrator has become a fave

More Brillance

Absolutely amazing audio, brilliant story, These 2 , Winters and Ferraiuolo are a match made in heaven. Kudos for another listening pleasure.

Great series

Love Michael, Alice and this series! can't wait for the next one. Actually laughed out loud at some of the antics.
