So so

I found this book/story lacked believability and characters weren't very bright. I have enjoyed all other Rhiannon Frater books I've read and/or listened to but this one not much.
Narration was fair.
I was given this book at my request and am voluntary leaving a review.

Pretty good!

I enjoyed the book. I do feel it was a little slow at times but still an enjoyable listen. I liked the characters and can’t wait to see where things go in the next book! The narration was good and easy to listen to!

Wow! Unique and gothic!

I loved how I felt like it was a retelling of Bram Stroker's Dracula with a unique twists and flair! Later it became even more unique and spellbinding. I wasn't sure how I felt about the story jumping between the past and present but overall I ended up enjoying it!. I can't wait doe the next book!

Not your normal Vampire

I loved this book and couldn't stop listening to it. The story captivated me and kept my attention from beginning to end. I can't wait to get my hands on book 2!

This was the first book that I have read/listened to by Rhiannon Frater and I can't wait to check out more of her books.

I was instantly drawn to Roman and his love for his family and heritage. He was strong, devoted and constantly tried to be a better person, not only for himself, but his sisters and then his extended family. I loved his connection to his sisters Alisha and Vanora. His sisters - I loved their connection with each other and with their older brother.

Armando is like the Dark Horse in the story line. I want to like him and hate him at the same time. His character intrigues me and I want to no more.

The narrator did a phenomenal job with this book. I think this my favorite narration of hers yet!

ONE GREAT VAMPIRE AUTHOR

i absolutely adore her this author doesn't have the best of the best but what she writes is always interesting this thus far is in my opinion not as great a series as her last dracula inspired series but it's completely different and i appreciate it immensely more modern and different. i love R.F

Great read! Intriguing story!

Vampire In The Night b Rhiannon Frater

This was a captivating and intriguing read. Great audio narration as well.
I found Armando one of those characters that you are torn between loving and hating!

Great start

I absolutely loved this book. The narration is good but the one characters voice is annoying..I can't wait to hear the rest..

Good start

Good start to a series
It did just seem like one book even tho it was originally a serial episode type thing.
I do like all four main characters
Roman the older brother is a great dad figure
Romondo is a 400 year old vampire loyal to his master who falls for the younger sister, the only one still human.
I think tho my favourite character is the middle sister, who battles the hardest for what she is.

3 star listen, narration fits the story, I’m looking forward to all the characters maturing more in the next instalment.

Come for the intrigue, stay for the narrator!

I make no secret of the fact that I love books that take something that has been told so many times and give it a new twist. This book does a very good job of putting a new twist on vampires and gets you comfortable with one direction but then throws some twists in that change the “predictable” outcome. Though as I am writing this, I realize that the clan of vampires are like the people that are always looking for the latest fad diet to try, and they do well for a while until it gets old...or a new trend comes along. The characters are well thought out, and I appreciate the growth you can hear in the main characters of the story. I will say this...I may have started this book out of curiosity, but the narrator’s job of bringing the different “people” to life was INCREDIBLE!! I became completely lost in the story thanks to her ability to give each character their little differences that made the book feel real. I absolutely love when I find narrators that can do that. You will NOT be disappointed in listening to this book. The story was well thought out (even with a few parts that didn’t really feel necessary). I have a huge amount of respect for the narrator and her skill to bring so much depth and life to the book.

Intriguing Series.

This book starts slow and creepy but if you stick with it it will speed up and the story will move in the right direction. This book is quite different then what I expected.

Narration was well done and brought the story to life.

This book is well written and well developed, and the characters are captivating and interesting. Vanora is too trusting and doesn’t understand what her siblings went through and how hard it is for them to try to be “human”. The more time they spend with their kind the farther they drift from her.

Armando is there when she needs him most but he is hiding a dark secret that can change everything. There is a prophecy that envolves her and a vampire master biding his time to come for her.

The story wraps up with many unanswered questions and with vanora fleeing from her home to be with her relatives. She has had enough after what she saw at the Halloween party. I’m looking forward to the next book.
