Hard Times

A Sam Harlan Novel, Book 2

By: Kevin Lee Swaim

Narrated by: David Loving

"It's amazing how life goes back to normal, how the world keeps spinning, even after you do something so terrible that it can never be forgiven. You get up in the morning. You eat. You shower. Shave. Use the toilet. And the dream. Always the same dream. There is no escaping it. In my dream, I plunge the knife into a little girl's chest.” - Sam Harlan

Six weeks since discovering the truth behind his family legacy, Sam Harlan has worked with Sister Callie Calahane to learn how to kill vampires, desperate to make them pay.

The woman's voice on the answering machine was intriguing. “Jack, it's Mary Kate. I've got your newest order and.... I need to talk.” Jack Harlan, the legendary vampire killer, was Sam's distant relative, but Jack Harlan was dead. Sam had seen to it himself.

Will investigating the source of the message push Sam and Sister Callie beyond their limit, or will they survive the hard times?

Goor listen

Hard Times is a story about a man who has suffered greatly but moves forward to protect others from blood lusting vampires. This story is a traditional dark story with multiple deaths and a hero beaten down. These are not your Twilight vampires. Good character and storyline building. The narrator, Mr. Loving, dis a nice job. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Really good Book 2

This book sees the main character really start to develop as he and the sister struggle to catch an old, sneaky vampire. A few surprises in the plot and really good narration make this better than the first IMO.

I really enjoyed this one

I started the series with this book, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't feel like i was missing too much from the first book. The story line was an interesting take on the vampire hunter genre. I thought the characters and dialog were engaging and the narration was good too. All in all, a very enjoyable experience.

The first one was better

I liked this story but the first was better. This one was a little slow and I didn't really feel any emotional involvement with the characters. I loved the first book and will listen to the third in the hopes that it picks up again!

Really good!

Great vampire hunter story! Well written and great narration! I really enjoyed this story and look forward to more from this author!
