Shadow's Messenger

Aileen Travers Series #1

By: T. A. White

Narrated by: Natasha Soudek

Life as Aileen knew it ended when she woke up in a morgue sporting a new set of fangs after a wild night out. Now, as a courier for the supernatural world, she balances figuring out this whole vampire thing with making enough to support her ice cream habit.

When a job goes disastrously awry and ends with a body on the ground, Aileen finds herself in over her head as she draws the attention of a powerful creature intent on her death.

Aileen will need to separate her allies from her enemies before it's too late. To survive, she'll work with a being she swore to avoid at all costs - a powerful vampire who may hold the key to her survival. Or the flame from which her world burns.

Entertaining!

This was pretty entertaining. It was slow to start as the story built, but once the action started I was enjoying it. There is no romance in this first book. I'm not sure if the whole series is that way or not. I will find out since I plan on reading the rest of the books.

It's mainly following our heroine who is only a 2 year old vampire. She has little knowledge of her world and you get to see her learn bits and pieces as she investigates a recent rash of killings of humans, vampires and werewolves.

I like Aileen's guts. She stood her ground no matter how much more powerful a being was she encountered. That's a big part of what made this so entertaining. I'm off to read book 2.

Good story, good narrator

Love a good narrator! This one is.
The story I wasn’t so sure about, I like the main character’s growth, was worried she’d be a doormat throughout but she stood up for herself which is great.
Story is supernatural with some different monsters you don’t usually hear about and I liked that change pace.
May not be for all but worth a listen to find out.

The storyline is perfect for this dysfunctional lady. Love it!

Love the way a up and coming adult can be so uproariously funny but also the way she deals with vampires, werewolves and witches and to thrown in a bit of fun a junior wizard….. funny, the character is more than a hero but a lot of wicked thrown in with the mix. A series well worth starting and seeing through to the end! Thank you for a well written hero!

I loved this book!

I wasn't sure about this book. I thought it was going to be one of those YA vampire romance books and that I would not like it. I have never read anything by this author and wow I really liked it. As soon as I finished this book I purchased the second book in the series. I hope the rest of the series will be availanble on Audible soon. I thought the nararrator was going to be terrible by someone elses review I read, but I actually really liked the narrarator. Just buy this book very entertaining.

I liked them all!

I listened to this series a couple years ago, and just re-listened to them again this week. I can honestly say, I still really like them. I'm not sure why the narrator got some bad reviews, I like her voice. I speed all my books up to 1.35, so I can't give an honest answer as to the speed that she normally reads at. It sounded good to me. She also does a great job with different voices, zero complaints for the book or the narrator.
