By: Kevin Lee Swaim

Narrated by: David Loving

"Vampires. They're everywhere. It's my job to stop them. A woman is missing. Hell, isn't there always? The church thinks a vampire is involved, but it's much worse than that. Much worse. Witches. Why did it have to be witches?" - Sam Harlan

Vampire hunter Sam Harlan at it again.

Here we have a glimpse in the life of vampire hunter Sam Harlan. In this episode Sam is set against witches and demons, which are quite outside of his normal purview. Sam and his Sister-partner Callie are sent by the church to find a missing girl. It is soon made clear that the situation is much more dangerous than thought to be. Sam is continually reminded that he knows little of the paranormal world, surviving by the skin of his teeth and the Grace of God. This is an exciting and fast-paced adventure, urging me to find the first two volumes to catch up on the action. Although this is book three of the series, and not having read the first two volumes, it was still able to stand on its own without much trouble.

A solid 3rd book in the series

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

The story line, as with the previous book in the series, is 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 book. I will definitely look to continue the series.

A vampire hunter...

I wasn't sure at first but as the story continued I got more vested. The main caracter is a man with a vampire blood. He's not a vampire but would be if he died instead he has a cravin for meat and anger issues.

The story has plenty of plot twists yet is still easy to follow and intriguing. The characters are personable and some despicable. Its a great mystery that had me guessing all the way through.

Great listen!

Great listen with an intriguing story and interesting characters. Great narrator as well, he really captures the characters. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Solid urban fantasy.

Damned Cold is a solid urban fantasy, but I must admit I had a bit of trouble deciding on a review score. In the end I decided to round up a bit. After all the issue I had with it was my own fault. You see I hadn't realized it was the third book in the series when I started listening, so I must confess I felt a bit lost as to who the characters were and what had befallen them in past volumes. That being said I the story itself is quite good and now I am interested in going back and checking out Sam's earlier adventures, which will likely make me appreciate this book more.

The book is narrated by David Loving. I've listened to a number of books he's narrated and must say he has a very distinct voice which I thought worked quite well for the genre.
