The Fangs of Freelance

Fred, the Vampire Accountant Series, Book 4

De: Drew Hayes

Narrado por: Kirby Heyborne

When Fred formed his own parahuman clan out of necessity, he understood that it was going to come with new responsibilities. Much as he hoped those tasks would center around extra paperwork and perhaps the occasional mandatory class, enough time around the supernatural has taught him to be ready for anything. Or so he thought.

As a freelance accountant for the Agency, Fred soon finds himself being tossed into new, unexpected, and perilous situations. From inventorying ghostly castles, to exploring unsettling amusement parks, to negotiating with dangerous mages, it seems there is no end to the uses for an accountant of Fred's specialty. But dangerous as the new jobs are, the greatest threat may come from the past. An old enemy is making waves once more, an enemy who would go to great lengths to destroy Fred and everyone he loves. And this time, they've brought backup.

Great 4th

Fred is awesome. Need more Drew!! VA: Kirby Heyborne did a great job for the whole series.

usual good standard

this book was a delight to read like all his other books. I hope that lots of other readers get to enjoy the series

Love this series! More more more please!

-I was happily surprised when this book came out, I love this series, and Drew Hayes' writing and really thought the 2nd Hand Curses book was the latest book of his, but this came out just after. Score.

-Love Kirby Heyborne as the narrator and voice actor. The voice of Fred is done so perfectly, it just suits his character so well, meek mild mannered, yet full of emotion as well. And his portrayal of the other characters, Bubba, Richard, Art all have their individual voices, and Gideon (the dragon) is of course very good.
Loved the addition of new characters such as Wallace, Art's agency/ special forces friend. You can feel the size of the guy, big heart but a bit stupid with the performance of Heybourne.

There was a weird moment Chapter 22, 3.40 where the narrator states "also chapter 125" , i'm sure it was just missed in editing, but will be revised in future editions.

--The structure is the same as the previous 3 books, 5 separate stories, definitely separate yet building on each other.
-An Interview at the Agency
-An Appraisal in the Castle
-An Appraisal in the Carnival
-A Negotiation at the Table
-An Inventory in the Base

Each story was great, and i'm eagerly waiting for the next instalment.

This series is a real pleasure for me to listen to. Its not that I can't wait to hear what happens next, its not that kind of book, each little story concludes relatively well by itself, ..its just that the snippets into Fred's life with these books just flows so well and i just want to hear more and more.

Plus I AM still waiting to hear more about the little easter egg gem that was dropped in Book 2 Chapter 2, where we find out that the laws and customs that guide the para-normal world are published in plain sight in the game manual for ‘Swords, Spells & Stealth’ which is an obscure role-playing game. Ie. another book that Drew Hayes writes, inferring there could be some cross over in future books

The Perfect Voice for Fred

I love this series and I love Kirby Heyborne's voice acting. I held off reading the book until the Audible version came out because I had to hear it in "Fred's voice". The book is split into smaller sections as are the earlier books in the series. This book takes Fred away from home on a few adventures and while I missed some of the characters I've come to enjoy in previous books, I enjoyed getting to know Amy and Arch a little better. If you enjoy the series you will welcome this new addition!

I’m sad I finished

The fred series makes me laugh out loud a lot. I love the humor, the suspense, and the originality. I wish Fred could be a Netflix original series

Fred book four

Overall I enjoyed the book. If you read the previous three enjoyed them this one is mostly more of the same. You can tell the characters are evolving slightly, and at the overall storyline is getting a little more rich and varied. It is the fourth in the series so don't start reading here; do start at the beginning and you'll thank yourself later.

Another light, fun read

I love Drew Hayes! I hate when his book or series is over. I feel like I don’t get to hang out with my friends anymore! Maybe not the most exhilarating book, but it’s about good friends sharing adventures.

Awesome

loved it. I wish they were made faster. I really enjoy this series. Now hubby is waiting to listen to it.

A story that is a pleasure to read and hard to put

Absolutely love it. Story was good and narrator made the book come . Worth reading.

an absolute great book.

if you liked the first 3 this will not disappoint! you should love it! ~john
