The Serpent's Bride

A Dark Vampire Romance (Bloodlines, Book 1)

De: Kathryn Ann Kingsley

Narrado por: Desireé Ketchum

I will disguise myself as the vampire’s bride.

I will win over his family.

And then I will murder every last one of them.

All my life I’ve been training to take revenge on the vampire who killed my parents. But Raziel Nostrum is a prince of the city’s most powerful mafia clan—completely untouchable.

When I learn that Raziel is marrying a woman he’s never seen before, I know my chance has finally come…

I will disguise myself as Raziel’s sacrificial bride. I will gain access to his vicious and beautiful family. And I will murder every last bloodsucking one of them.

Raziel is just as ruthless and deadly as I expected, but I had no idea how magnetic he would be up close, with an intoxicating smile and ruby-red eyes that seem to look right into my soul. There’s a dangerous tension between us that I’m struggling to ignore.

I have to strike fast. Every second I wait brings new danger to my life—and my heart. But as I sharpen my blades and prepare to take my revenge at last, I need to face the truth…

I’m falling in love with Raziel Nostrom.

The first book in a spicy vampire romantasy series perfect for fans of true enemies-to-lovers romance and marriages of convenience tropes. Listeners who could not get enough of The Serpent and the Wings of Night and Haunting Adeline will love The Serpent’s Bride.

Great build. Suspenseful

It was a slow build. Sorta pushed through in the beginning because I bought it, so I definitely didn't think I would end up liking it. But by the end I was sold and ready Book 2!

love the twists & turns.

I hate the cliffhanger but overall, I enjoyed the story. I wish there were better physical descriptions of the characters and clothes, I had some trouble imagining them. I enjoyed the narrator, my only complaint is that I've become spoiled expecting male narrators to speak the male voices. Hearing the female narrator try to do a male voice made it hard to take the seriousness of the male character. I look forward to the sequel.

meh

I thought this book was very mid. The narrator wasn't really giving especially with the male voice acting. The voice gave me the ick and the story was predictable and lacking. I'm not interested in the sequel.

Suspense to the end

Different storyline with twists and turns had me rooting for both main characters to succeed in their plan.

Amazing!

One of the best books ever I’ve read and highly recommend. It had twists and turns and kept me guessing.
