Absolutely Fantastic!!!!

Unknown was one of the best books I've listened to this year! I am a vampire lover. However, I like the old school vampires who want to eat you instead of love you and this story did not disappoint. Not only were there vicious vampires but other creatures as well and I totally loved it.

The way Price intertwined the various centuries with one another and the characters was simply amazing. However, because this did bounce between worlds if I got distracted for even one minute or failed to give my full attention I wound up just a little lost. The pace was great and kept me on the edge of my seat with anticipation but this WAS NOT scary in any way. Price also changed the vampire's rules a bit but it worked.

The narrator performed so well that I am going to look for his other projects. He made it very easy to know which characters were speaking and he just made it a fun experience.

I am definitely a Phil Price fan now and hope the next two books in this series will be on Audible sooner than later. I highly recommend this to anyone 16 and older.

Complex but I really liked it

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a very complex book. There were several seperate story lines that ultimately get tied together, which was a relief for me. I hate when books don't tie the seperate threads together and leave you hanging. Anyway, with that in mind, some of the transitions between threads were a bit abrupt. The narration was pretty good. The narrator's accent lends an interesting feel to the story that I found I enjoyed. All in all, a good book and one I'd recommend if you like complex stories like this.

Great listen!

This is a unique take on vampires. The story is new and original. The narrator does an incredible job of bringing this story and the characters to life. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!

Unique and entertaining listen

This was a very entertaining listen. It grabbed my attention from the beginning and I couldn’t stop listening. It’s quite a different take on supernatural creatures and time portals. I really enjoyed it and will definitely pick up the next book. As always, Hannibal Hills’ narration is fantastic. Hills is quickly becoming one of my favorite narrators, and, in fact, was the reason I chose to listen to this book. I received a review copy at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

I liked it.

Everything was great, from the overall story to the telling of it. Great job 😊
