Queen Bitch

The Kurtherian Gambit, Book 2

By: Michael Anderle

Narrated by: Emily Beresford

Length: 6 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's summary

The UnknownWorld is reeling from change.

Bethany Anne has started to make a difference in the first week of being awake. Now, America has been losing good men since their teams don't have a vampire to help them.

Frank is hoping Bethany Anne can, and will, help.

Further, the American Pack Council is having internal problems with their own young-and-dumb weres who want to ignore Michael's strictures. With no one seeing Michael, the fear of the Boogeyman is starting to recede.

That's fine with Bethany Anne, it means she will personally deliver the message there is a new vampire in town.

Immediately following the story of Bethany Anne from Death Becomes Her, Queen Bitch rides a rollercoaster of action with a heavy dose of creative cussing. Bethany Anne starts to get a team in place to help her affect change.

Because, whether the UnknownWorld wants it or not, change is coming.

Headed For Book 3!!!

Michael Anderle and Emily Beresford are CHUNKING OUT THE BOOKS! As I've already said, It looks like one book about every 25 days on average!!! LOVE the 'Afterwords' by Emily AND Michael, explaining how books are written, costs involved, how they are narrated, how long it takes after Emily uploads them to Audible after using their compression algorithm, and SO MUCH MORE! Right down to 'How much different types of Cover Art Costs' And 'How much different types of Proof-Reading Costs'! THAT information, collected from each of the Audio-Book Afterwords, could be a book all of it's own!

Michael FREELY admits in his Afterword(s) in each book that he writes FAST, and he writes PURE PULP! It's not 'Incredibly Deep' or 'Mind Bending', but it keeps you listening,Book After Book After Book... so: IT WORKS!

Call it Pulp, or 'Wishful thinking', or 'Unrealistic', or Whatever, Again: IT WORKS!

Each book in the Series gets better, and before you've finished Book One, you get sucked in and keep on 'Grabbing the next book'... That's what PROVES a Series GOOD! 'I'm willing to spend my hard earned money on it'! That's not 'Words', that's 'DEEDS'! If I'm spending my money on the books, then I think they're worth buying!
You know a series HAS YOU when you keep checking back to see if the next book is available yet! If I'm 'MAKING AN EFFORT' to spend MY money on a product, Then it's a product I WANT!
ALREADY bought all 8 books available at this time on Audible, and will be grabbing book 9 AS SOON as it comes out!

(STILL wish I could 'Tag' an Author or Narrator I like on Audible, and be notified when a new book is released by that Author or Narrator, so I don't miss a new book released by an Author that hasn't released a new book in a while.. NOT a lot of coding required to add THAT feature to a website... Hint, Hint, Hint ;)

awsome

I am in love with this series. I had to get more credits so i can get the next in the series. Worth the credits.

Juvenile, cliche, and uninspired.

The basic concept could work if the plot and characters were developed further. It as though every teenage boy’s dreams were translated to words. Uninspired fighting that wins every time; have the female lead a knockout (a virus that makes a fighters boobs big?) juvenile, add a liberal amount of clichéd swearing.
Perhaps the vamp (yep) uses pheromones to instil complete loyalty of hardened US soldiers in a mere 24 hours. Add more character development instead of trite details about shoes, bathroom breaks or pizza.
The reader’s voices were a bit forced, and she used the same rhythm throughout, but overall she did ok.

TOO SHORT TO BE SO EXPENSIVE!!!

While this series so far along with each book is decent and the narrator is exceptional the price for the audiobook alone is either one credit or $7.49 US Dollars if you also have the Kindle book version. These audiobooks are between 4 to 6 hours in length. A couple are even shorter than 4 hours! One credit at its cheapest cost $11.35 US Dollars. So if you spend a credit on this book, you just paid at minimum, a 5.00 over charge unless you have the book borrowed for free thru Kindle Unlimited. That is the cheapest way ive found to get audiobooks on Audible. Borrow a book on Kindle and then (if available) purchase the audiobook at a highly reduced price (usually $7.49 or less) after the Kindle version downloads. If you have an iPhone the price for a SINGLE friggin credit on Audible is $15.99 US Dollars!!!! WTF Apple??? I despise Mac & Apple products, customer service, and how the see the people that keep them in business! On any other device credits are cheaper by about $2.00. Apple gets a certain percentage of EVERY SINGLE purchase using the Amazon Audible app on any iPhone!!! GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY APPLE CORP!!! So anyways, books good, vampire, supernatural creature slaying beginnings. They slowly introduce an alien, a coming outer space intergalactic war agenda that leads to space opera style storyline. Im on book 5 and so far i am not disgusted or disheartened by this. I do love a good space opera (just never read one with vampire, werewolf beginnings). Anderle delivers a fun and quick story full action, hilarious characters, vengeance and justice fueled alternative worlds. When compared to other fantasy/out of this world plots, i give it 4 stars. The narrator, Emily Beresford performs OUTSTANDINGLY!!! She truly loses herself in this series and brings EACH character to life. She makes every character unique and almost addictive. Good books with high price

I liked this one more...

This was much better than Death Becomes Her. Bethany Anne was in the book most of the time and when she wasn’t it wasn’t as boring as the other book.

After Bethany Anne killed Petre in the last book she headed to his father’s house with every intention of kicking his butt or killing him to. Unfortunately, she found a really, really old man, so that changed her mind. Everything worked out just fine between them.

Then she took off to the States and got involved with a covert group that took care of business with no one knowing what happened. It was just one battle after another and her always making wisecracks to her team. She was so funny sometimes.

There was no sex but the F-bomb was used 52 times.

As to the narration: Emily Beresford did a lot better narrating this book. Her emotions were much better than in Death Becomes Her, but there’s still nothing memorable about her voice. I have no idea why.

The end narration has to go

Any additional comments?

there really to short and should be at lest 2 hours longer . there no build up for the friendships it there and boom ever one loves her with her saying a one line zinger . and there not even a funny singer . the frist book was better this was a let done

What am I missing?

Wondering what all the hype is about. Cliché after cliché. Is this book just catering to an adolescent boy's taste? Why would the baddest vampire be so focused on expensive shoes? What's with all the high-school locker room cursing? Ohhhh...a general chewing on a cigar. That's original. i thought the first book was an anomaly and first book blues but it continues in this one. None of this makes any sense to me.

Fun listen!

This is a fun book, with an interesting combination of action and humor. The cussing competitions are hysterical. I love how the cast of characters are growing, and I'm really looking forward to reading more about every one of them.

Be careful - series is fun but a credit drain

Any additional comments?

Make books longer. Combine books.

This has happened all through the series. Feels like a money grab.

Enough with the filler at the end of every book. I don't care what Emily has to say.

Don't get me wrong the series is a fun listen but come on.....

Also why release a million spin-off series on audible when the main series hasn't been fully released?

Outstanding

This series is outstanding from the story line to the reader who pulls you in just like you are there watching I am on book 10 because I can't stop reading and listening. I love the Queen Bitch!!!!

Brilliant

Loved this more the second time around. Great series to escape the stresses of daily life.

Excellent

Absolutely fantastic series, best I’ve read in a long time. Lots of action, great characters, outstanding detail. I’m already on book 10, not even taking time to review because I’ve been buying the next book- yes it’s that good. Thank you

Great work

As a fan of the series most of my interactions have been with the books so when I started on the audio journey it was with some trepidation as having read over 40 books just on the Bethany Anne how would this compare to my mind. Luckily this narration was well voiced and with a lot of Bethany Anne being channeled it worked out better than I thought. So top marks and onto more action and cussing

Queen of Queens

Love this new Queen, her sense of fair play is fantastic. She cares, she hurts for her people. I wish she was real.

You have to listen to it

A great book loved the story great narration 5 stars I highly recommend listening to this book 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Drama and laughter

I read the first book in this series after seeing it on good reads, thinking it might be ok and worth giving a shot. Now just finished book two and an addicted. Great story and characters you can't help but love. Now for number 3.

So glad I found this series.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

Can’t get enough of Bethany Anne and team I’ve just started book 3 🙂

excellent follow up

really looking forward to hearing the rest of the series, I am now officially addicted to it.

This is a really fun story

I really enjoy this story. I think this book is even more exciting than the first one and Emily Beresford is still doing an excelent job reading it.

loved it great story and excellent performance by Emily can't wait to start the next one
