Publisher's summary

"I don’t plan to kill you…unless, of course, you force me to."

Late-night radio show psychologist Rain Sommers is used to the crazies calling in to rage from the back alleys of the French Quarter and the shadows of the bayou. But one caller’s chilling obsession with her and her long-ago murdered mother - an iconic singer beloved among the city’s goth community - has even the jaded Rain running scared as a sadistic serial killer known as the Vampire prowls New Orleans.

FBI agent Trevor Rivette is convinced her midnight caller and the killer are one and the same. As it becomes disturbingly clear that the Vampire has a sick bloodlust only Rain can satisfy, she allows Trevor to get closer and closer. He soon discovers, however, that his secretive past and troubled present are intertwined - and that he may die trying to keep Rain’s fate out of a madman's control.

Leslie Tentler worked in public relations as a writer and editor for nearly two decades. Her first manuscript won the prestigious Maggie Award of Excellence.

"A smooth prose style and an authentic Big Easy vibe distinguish Tentler's debut.... The shivers are worthy of a Lisa Jackson." ( Publishers Weekly)

"From the turn of the first page, Leslie Tentler hooks the reader and holds them in the palm of her hand." (Examiner.com)

Midnight Caller

Ok story. Not great and lasted too long. Would not recommend. Not interested in author’s other work.

Worth listening to.

Where does Midnight Caller rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the 1st of this type book I've tried. The romance had a weak in foundation. I enjoyed it and l intend to listen to the entire series Overall rating 4.5, not a 4 but not a 5.

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

Her narration is quite good but when i coms to character voices..... I'm just curious why they would have a woman narrate a book that has only 2 female characters. I can't be sure it really could have ben done better by a male narrator. Rain's voice was a wee bit breathy on top of the New Orleans accent, Trevor's a bit forced to be deep. Rated a 4.5, not a 4 but not a 5.

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

Yes

great story

Bana- Enjoyable

Thought some of the situations where unrealistic, or the reaction are. but it did have a good storyline

couldn't stip!

loved how the story moved at a good pace and kept me wanting more until the end.

Was good book

Seemed to gave a good story line. I liked the book and found it kept me interested. I would recommend it.

Good book

This was a good book for a rainy day. The storyline keeps your interest but it's not one that has you on the edge of your seat or unable to put it down. The narrator did a wonderful job...very pleasant to listen to

Loved it

This is not the typical murder mystery. The fact the FBI agent has to catch a killer and confront his own demons as more to the characters. I guessed the killer before he was revealed but not by much. This itself impressed me. There were several suspects as well as relationships. I would like to read more from this author.
