The Ancient Ones

The Ancient Ones Trilogy, Book 1

By: Cassandra L. Thompson

Narrated by: Miles Meili

When David stumbles upon a tragic young woman in a sordid Limehouse pub, he has no idea she’d recognize him as the last vampyre alive, nor that she’d be the one to pull out his story. Yet as he recalls his life from the sweltering vineyards of ancient Rome to the cold horrors of medieval Romania—as well as his tumultuous past with the mad and mysterious Lucius—he realizes she is much more than what she seems.

Gothic horror and mythological fantasy blend seamlessly together in this thrilling adventure, breathing new life into vampire lore as it reveals its true origins. The Ancient Ones is a tale of myth, mayhem, and magic…with a dash of romance that bites.

Fantastic book! Amazing storyline!

I absolutely love this series! The Author’s take on the supernatural world and reincarnation is unique and something I have never personally thought of before. I truly cannot wait until I can read more of her books!

I need Book 2 NOW

I'm so grateful this is now available on audiobook. I struggle to find time to read, so audiobooks are perfect for me and obviously I had to snag this once I saw it. Audible and Kindle are linked too, so it knew where I left off and I managed to finish it during my shift.

The story is dark and terrible (but the good kind of terrible, ya feel?). The language used by the narrator was so vivid and visual, I also loved the deep incorporation of mythology in the story around vampires!

What?

Very confusing, who’s who ?who used to be what? first half pretty straight forward , but towards the end I couldn’t keep the characters straight.

must listen

Cassandra has planted herself atop the best vampire writer list with this book. Miles as the narrator is just the cherry atop this phenomenal story.

So gooooood!

Loved this book. I enjoyed all the gods and magic and mixing of so many things. Very well written! Thank you!

Amazing. A unicorn find.

If you are a fan of history and/or horror, just stop scrolling and listen. I really hope this author writes some stand alone books along these same lines because she is GOOD. I'm not even finished with this book and can't wait to get the rest of the series. I'm just shocked that they're aren't more reviews of this book because it's a must listen.

Was hard to follow.

I was confused by all the name and who was who and which person was related to this person. I had to listen to to certain sections multiple times to understand.
It was ok…I don’t think I will get the other books related to this series.
