Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter Box Set: (Books 1-3)

Unique take on vampire & vampire hunters. I enjoyed all three books. I'm looking forward to reading more books about Aurora Sky.

The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life. This is a story I would no mind listening to it again.

The third book concludes with a cliffhanger. I'm continuing with this series and hoping the next books will be just as good as the first three.

The world of Aurora Sky is all about high school, boys and mean girls until a near fatal accident changes everything in her life. Now she is tangled in a web of intrigue with government agents and vampires.

In exchange for saving her life, a clandestine government agency trains Aurora to kill vampires. As it turns out, Aurora’s blood is debilitating to vampires. It renders them easy to kill after they bite Aurora. Author, Nikki Jefford’s vampires don’t have the gravitas of vampires we have come to expect in our urban fantasy novels. The Vampires in the Aurora Sky novels are basically just self-indulgent, spoiled, fang-less humans who need to drink blood and live long lives. They don’t have the air of a supernatural predator the way vampires in other author’s stories have. The fact that they need to use guns and baseball bats fundamentally reduces any supernatural villain mystique they may have had. For me, this takes away from all the Aurora Sky novels. The books are just not compelling reads/listens. Nikki Jefford is a very competent writer. I would definitely try another book by her, but her Aurora Sky novels are books I can take or leave without caring one way or the other. It’s just very disappointing when you title your book, “Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter,” then fail to give me even a little bit of kick-ass action between vampire hunter and vampires. I personally don’t need soap opera and mean girls that are actually more scary than the vampires.

Overall, the Aurora Sky novels are well written, but all of them still miss the mark, by a narrow margin. Finally, this audio book was provided by the author at no cost in exchange for an honest review, courtesy of Audio Book Boom.

I loved this series when I read it and I loved it more listening to it again. There is so much happening in this series that I found myself catching things the second time through. I think this is a series I could go back and listen to again in the future.

Em Eldridge did an amazing job narrating the story. It is hard to find a narrator that you like all the way around but I think she did a wonderful job and the sound quality was perfect.

What a great take on Vampires and the paranormal world. Aurora Sky was just a normal teenager at an awkward time in her life when a near fatal car accident changes her world. I liked watching Aurora change and adapt and we will get to see so much more in the next books in the series.

Yes

Pretty original vampires who hunt vampires. Maybe vampire diaries (but I've only seen TV show)

Book three made me laugh once :-)

Book one was slow. Not much plot or twists. Book two picked up the pace and characters started to change and interact more. Book three was good. Plot had some twist and depth. Not much read into other character, character is interacting with. But, book created want to know so moving onto buying next book :-) Seems like I will like the series maybe as much as TV show vampire diaries.

Promising premise...terrible delivery. I tried with this one because the story could have been good. However the whining over angsty protagonist really became annoying. I was really excited to find a boxed set of books but became dreadfully disappointed and only made it through the first book because of grim determination. The narrator's voice was OK but her mispronunciation of so many words was distracting.

Really loved the narrator's natural voice. The plot isn't really another vampire diaries clone. I was a little bit let down by the vampires, but it's a different take. It's a story of morality and what it means to be a monster.

I'm one of those people that feels like vampires have been overdone lately. I decided to give this series a chance despite this and I am SO glad I did! Love this series! It has enough of a story twist that it isn't you standard vampire biting people story.

This is an entertaining and exciting set of three stories about a teen who becomes a reluctant vampire hunter. Aurora's life is saved by a secret government agency after she is severely injured in a car accident. Her blood type makes her special and their means of "saving" her costs her Aurora her freedom. She has no choice but to work for the agency but she hates and to kill and comes to realize that there is a hidden undercurrent to the agencies functioning. The three stories flow well into each other and you soon became attached to Aurora. She is to some degree a typical winey teen who does things without thinking but in other ways she is brave and innovative. Caught in a complex situation that she has no control over and with disruption in her home life, she actually manages to cope very well. The interplay between the characters is appealing and often amusing, and her budding romances are enjoyable and typical of teen behavior. The narration suits the books and she did a good job of both the male and the female voices but I did find her voice failed to build sufficient tension on occasions. I enjoyed all three stories, they were fun, exciting, had action, romance and enough twists to keep you entertained. Even though the stories are individual, they still build on one another adding depth and interest to the world. I will look forward to listening to or reading the next in the series. I received this audiobook set in a giveaway.

The narrator is awesome at portraying the roles and the author sucks you in at the beginning. I do have to say that I don't know who I'm rooting for, Dante or Fane.

Very entertaining, engaging and enjoyable series so far. A little bit of a twist on vampires. It started off a bit slow and it took me a bit to really get into the story, but by the halfway mark of the fist book I was hooked. It just slowly reels you in until you can't stop listening. Even after 22 and 1/2 hours I was ready to start the next book immediately. I will definitely be continuing with the series, I have to find out how it ends. Worth your time and credit? Yes, absolutely.

Action, suspense, romance, vampires, clandestine agencies, vampire hunters and much more are woven into a very entertaining series that will keep you awake and listening until the end.

Who's a vampire and who's not? Balancing being a vampire hunter with trying to finish high school and then attend collage can be very challenging. Throw a tangled love life into the mix and things get really complicated.

I would classify it as more of a Young Adult/New Adult series. Yes, there is a scene where she loses her virginity but it isn't anything over the top, steamy or intense. It's more of a blip in the story.

Em Eldridge did a fantastic job with the narration. This is the first time I have listened to her narrate a book. Pleasant voice. Great character voices and accents. Clearly spoken with a smooth even pace. She brought the characters and story to life through her narration. Very enjoyable
