How to Lure a Hunter

VRC: Vampire Related Crimes, Book 3

De: Alice Winters

Narrado por: Michael Ferraiuolo

Alexei
When Marcus Church brings his brother Claude in to help solve an unusual murder, I’m positive he did it just to disrupt my monotonous life. None of my coworkers in the Vampire Related Crimes unit seem to understand that I want to keep a wall between me and everyone else - especially Claude, who does everything he can to break through it with an annoying smile. After more vampires begin to die, Claude pinpoints the actions of the killers to a group of vampire hunters, leaving us in a race to stop them. When I discover that I have a target on my back, I’m surprised that Claude insists on staying by my side, even when things go from bad to worse. I’m determined to keep him out - I’ve lost enough people in my life - but I can’t stop feeling something every time he breaks through.

Claude
When I reunited with my brother, I never imagined it’d throw me right into Alexei Karsynov’s path. He’s short-tempered, stubborn, and dangerously adorable whenever he smiles - he just doesn’t realize it yet. When Marcus asks me to help with a case, it gives me the excuse I need to get closer to Alexei, but what I discover threatens to change everything. Suddenly, I find myself wanting to do anything to protect Alexei and to see him smile, despite his efforts to keep his distance from others. I’m determined to show him that he can’t live in the past when his future is so much brighter.

How to Lure a Hunter is a 107k word book that contains: clothes so bright they could cause retina damage, a ridiculous amount of gifts showered on a reluctant recipient, a cranky Russian with a soft spot he tries to hide, a library full of books that need to be treated with the proper respect, some possibly unhealthy sibling teasing, and a sunshiny 300-year-old vampire with an unexpected protective streak.

Loved it!

This was wonderful and I loved listening to it as I delved back into the lives of the VRC team. So many emotions pass through you as the story unfolds. Laughter and anxiousness and a wide range in between. Claude and Alexi make such a cute and opposite couple. Listen to this story! It’s really really good!!!!!!

Loved It

I loved the VRC series from the first book, but this one is the first story I read first and then listened in audio. I loved the story when I read it, but listening to it was even better. I liked Alexei from his very first appearance in How to Vex a Vampire, but in this story we learn more about his backstory and how he became the sarcastic, untrusting, relationship avoiding detective. Claude was just a right kind of guy to be worthy of Karsyn. Narrator did an amazing job and I loved voice he gave Claude. I am super picky with narrators when they do voices for Russian characters since its my first language, most narrators do not do a very good job, but Michael Ferraiuolo did a perfect Russian accent and his pronunciation of the few Russian words was impeccable. This was a perfect listening experience and I cannot wait for more books by this author/narrator team.

Gold just pure gold

Alice Winters does it again. I knew I was going to love Karson's story from the moment we met him in book 1. Claude is the exact opposite of Marcus and he's perfect. Alexei and Claude are oil and vinegar and they go perfect together. Claude brings out Alexei's squishy side, and Alexei brings out claude's fangs and claws. I can never do my eyebrows the same again because I will forever laugh looking in the mirror. And fashion shows are forever changed. In fact that was probably my favorite scene in the entire book. How Alice Winters is able to bring so much comedy too serious matters is incredible.

Everything's not fun and games Alexei's past is coming back to haunt him and puts his entire life as he knows it at risk. But Claude and everyone at the VRC are watching his back.

Michael Ferraiuolo is fabulous as always. He brings these characters to life. I can't wait to listen to him narrate book 4.

Loved it.

I especially loved listening to Michael’s awesome narration of Alexei. Chef’s kiss.

Highly recommend.

I loved it

This is my favorite book in the series. Allexi is so cute and the narrator really brought him to life. Alice Winters is a master.

Fun

A fun easy listen. If you like the other books in this series you will probably like this one.

Claude is the best...

5 stars all around
The narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life.
This is probably my favorite book by this author.
Alexie's story is interesting. I love how we seen glimpses of his past and how it made him the man he was in the present. I also love that while in the present Claude is persistent in breaking down his walls.
Claude may have questionable wardrobe choices but he has a kind heart. Love him!

Claude and Alexei?!?!

I’m so happy Claude was able to break through Alexei’s gruff exterior because throughout this book I loved Claude more and more. He’s just so nice, smart, and loving! He even takes all the criticism from everyone in stride and can see through it and know he’s loved by all. Claude perseveres through everything that’s thrown at him by the people out to kill them and even digs into his ancient vampire strength to fight those out to hurt them. I also loved getting to see why Alexei is so closed off and secretive. He actually has a sweet and loving personality beneath all the snark. Claude and Alexei face evils from the past that have come back to try to destroy them. Marcus, Finn and crew are there to help them, but will they all get through it alive? You’ll have to read/listen to find out and I highly recommend you do! I love this world Alice Winters has created and Michael Ferraiuolo does a fantastic job bringing it to life!

Loved it!

So glad I decided to continue reading this series. Because this is my fav book out of three. Who wouldn’t love Claude ! Narrator is as amazing as ever

Alexi and Claude!

So, we finally learn more about Alexi’s past and how he got to where he Is and there’s Claude in all his neon glory breaking Down Alexi’s walls and trying to dress him! There is snark, bright cloths, 1 bed thanks to Finn, the past comes calling and the usual sibling shenanigans. As always Mr Ferraiuolo does a great job!
