Redemption

The Penton Vampire Legacy, Book 1

By: Susannah Sandlin

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

For vampire Aidan Murphy, life has never been so desperate. The vaccine used to treat a global pandemic has rendered human blood deadly to his kind, leaving them on the brink of starvation and civil war. In tiny Penton, Alabama, Aidan establishes a peaceful community of vampires and unvaccinated human donors. He dares to hope they can survive - until his estranged brother descends upon Penton and begins killing the humans. Determined to save his town, Aidan kidnaps an unsuspecting human doctor…and finds himself falling in love for the first time in nearly four centuries.

Dr. Krystal Harris thought she was coming to Penton for a job interview, but Aidan Murphy has other plans. Infuriated by his high-handed scheme to imprison her in the small town, Krys can’t ignore the attraction between them. But is it love? Or does her dangerous, charismatic captor want only to bend her to his will?

CAN I SAT NAV MY WAY TO PENTON PLEASE?

Yes, there's a real overload of vampire books out there now but I found this one is one of the good ones with it's different direction to the usual evil bloodsuckers story. Aidan's dreams of co-existing with the human blood donors in Penton was very touching and so was his feelings for Krystal. Instant attractions between the two grew rapidly until it's ultimate consummation (quite mild on the spice scale) and it was a pleasant change to have a flower growing, thoughtful and mild mannered vampire that's in charge and not the usual strong Alpha vamp.

The imaganative plot includes some very interesting characters that bring more intrigues to the story along with them.

Narrator did a great job and I'm off now to listen to the next in the trilogy about the executioner Mirren's story.

Worth a credit? It's definately absolutely worth a credit but, at $9.79 for 10.5 hours, it's great value for your money so, if you can, I would say just buy it and save your credits for more expensive listens.

Four chapters in with an annoying narrator

I'm reviewing this before I've finished the book because the narrator is so annoying I can't seem to let it go. Angela Dawe speaks every sentence in the same cadence, as though each one is a melodramatic tension point. Her character voices sound very much the same.

I'm going to bull through and see if the story is any good, but for anyone considering this audiobook, I'd recommend listening to as much of the sample as you can. I'll come back at the end of the book and try to review the story itself.

The story was okay, but didn't hold my attention.

The story had its ups and downs. Some parts were fast paced but others seemed to drag. struggled to finish the book.

Nice Little Hidden Surprise

I'm always looking for a new Paranormal series! so happy I found this one! can't wait to start the next book in the series! I hate Cliffhangers!! I was glad this one was not in cliffhanger! It's did leave you wanting more!!

Vampire story in a different angle

What i love about this book:

1.) Story is catchy and different
2.) The pace is reasonably fast and consistent
3.) Sexual tension is off the chart (a bit cliché at times, but can't complain)
4.) Action packed
5.) Absolutely capable narrator

Grab this book! You can't stop listening :) i guarantee....
