Publisher's Summary

All Lady Glynis Wright ever wanted was the freedom to live her life as she pleased. Unfortunately, her aristocratic parents want her to marry well and settle into a life of luxury. When her family becomes guests to one of the most fearsome and powerful vampires of all time, Glynis finds her fate is far more terrible than an arranged marriage. Trapped in the power of her new master, she fights for freedom, revenge against her creator, and the chance to be with the one she truly loves.

Bloody, horrific, romantic and rich in gothic atmosphere, The Tale of the Vampire Bride is sure to thrill fans of the terrible, yet romantic vampires of literary past.

A Most Gripping, Vampire Tale!

You really won't be disappointed with this audiobook. This audiobook is most interesting. I especially enjoyed this vampire tale because It was like listening to a vampire tv soap story as it focused on and was built on the concept of a vampire family life. The tale was an awesome and intense display of the vampire world. The narrator was quite good. I loved this story and finished it in just two days time. I so, look forward to the rest of this series on audiobook. Rhiannon Frater is an author whose books I intend to continue listening to.

This is no PNR

Would you consider the audio edition of The Tale of the Vampire Bride, Book 1 to be better than the print version?

I would consider it a good companion. The book jarred me, hearing the story brought to life gave me cold chills.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I didn't have a favorite character. I did however, like the overall description and personalities of each character. They all worked well together.

What about Carol Hendrickson’s performance did you like?

The narration made the story so much more chilling. I liked Carol Hendrickson's take on the personalities.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When she lost her family at the beginning.

Any additional comments?

This is definitely not a love story or a PNR, if you like a really dark and dangerous story then this is for you.

Not bad

A litte slow in the middle but better at the later stage of the story.

Too long.

I like the premise of the story. It was almost as if Bram Stoker had written from one of Dracula's brides side. It would have been a much better story if had been cut so much shorter. I think could have still shown the dilemma & pain that Glynis went through without being so drawn out. It started great, then dragged so much in the middle I almost gave up, but ended well. I will not be continuing on with the series for fear that they too are to drawn out. I love the 'Pretty when she dies' series from Rhiannon Frater, think will stick with that for now.
