So Far... I Love it!!!

This audiobook was given to me at my request. I am providing a voluntary review:

I Just finished book one (Fangs & Fondant) and I loved it. This is another book that I wasn't 100% I would like it. And I didn't like it... I LOVED it. It was a cute, well written, fun story. And the narration was perfect. I love the way her voice sounds. A little on the breathy side maybe, I'm not sure but its perfect for a vampire story. I am looking forward to reading the next three books. I will update as I finish them...

The other three books....awesome. I was afraid I'd get sick of them if I listened to one right after the other (I get book ADD sometimes), that was totally not the case. I loved them all. All four were cute little books that held my attention from beginning to end. I definitely want to read more from Melissa Monroe. <3

Cozy Mysteries!

Each book in the box set could be listened to as a standalone or as a series. I thought the author did a really good job on each book in this box set. Each was well written and kept the listener interested in what was happening throughout. Priscilla was very likeable but she did seem a little bit naive for someone who was supposed to be as old as she is proclaimed to be. All the other characters were relatively likeable and they all work together to solve the murders that are happening in the small town. The author gives us plenty of background detail and does a good job developing the setting. I liked how the author chose to incorporate Priscialla as a vampire and the vampire myth as a whole. I also like that Priscilla had a fairy god mother. Each story could easily be classified as a cozy mystery and were pleasant listens individually and as a set.

The narrator did a great job on each individual performance and easily took these stories to the next level. Each character voice was clearly differentiated and consistent across the set.

I received a review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Such a fun twist on the cozy mystery genre

Ahhhhh, this is such a great box set; over the course of these four books, I have truly come to adore Priscilla Pratt and her fellow citizens of Bellmare - which is amazing considering this is my first experience with the paranormal cozy mystery genre.

First off, the world building in this series is superb. Author, Melissa Monroe, has done a great job at explaining Vampires and making a society where they exist seem plausible for the reader; for example, Vampires don't die due to sun exposure, they just become ill. I enjoyed that aspect of the series so far; it put a unique twist on the cozy mystery genre.

In a somewhat related note, the cast of characters are all incredibly delightful - well, except for the killers, that is. Despite having minor annoyances with Priscilla, I become emotionally invested in each resident of Bellmare by the end of the fourth book.

Finally, while I was slightly unsure of the narration in book one, I came to love the life that Cindy Kay added to these novels. My only disappointment is that the rest of the Priscilla Pratt series is not yet on audio.

Overall, I got a lot of enjoyment reading/listening to this box collection. I noticed that each book consistently became better than the last, so I can't wait to move on and see what is next for Priscilla Pratt and her band of misfits.

I would recommend this series to anyone who loves cozy mysteries and is looking for a fun, paranormal twist to the genre.

facrs

ricin is made from the HULL of the castor bean. but the story is good

Great Cozy Series!

This is a 4 book set that includes Fangs and Fondant, A Bite of Blueberry, Blood in the Batter, and Holy Crepes. Each book stands alone, as the series progresses, the characters become more developed. Each book is unique and I thoroughly enjoyed them. It is a fun series wonderfully read by the narrator. I hope the series continues. It is off to a great start. I was gifted a copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review,

Adorable

Sounds kinda cheesy from the sample but it grows on you. Easy to listen to!

Tasty treat of a collection!

A tasty treat of a collection - I'm not going to make this review too long 'cause in my experience most people won't read a super long review but I will say if your looking for a light hearted, paranormal, cozy mystery series - I would definitely recommend these. Each book can be read as a stand alone but with each book you get a better development of the characters as well as new characters that get added in (which I love). Well written - so much so that you won't know who did it until it's reveled (which I also love). Not gory or heart racing but more heart warming.

I have reviewed each of these individually on goodreads and will post those on amazon soon if you want more specific reviews on each.


This book was given to me in audio format for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

One of my favorite Cozy Mystery's

I loved every minute of this audiobook collection. Very fun and entertaining to say the least. The characters are great and the narration is even better. I wish more of my books were narrated by Cindy Kay. If you love cozy mysteries and vampires you will love this collection!

Who Would Have Guessed That Vampires Can Bake?

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

This is a very different Cozy Mysteries series for sure... It would seem strange that coziness could be part of a world where vampires co-exist alongside regular people, but how the stories develop with night baker par-excellence Priscilla Pratt. However not all is hunky-dory for this likable main character or for the other vampires with which she is surrounded. They all try to be accepted as equals in a somewhat stodgy society, not always successful.
There are many times during the narration when you feel sorry for them as they seem the only ones willing to make sacrifices in order to be accepted. The "villains" in the series are not only the actual murderers, but also many of the citizens of the small town of Bellemare. They are more than willing to profit from the legendary ghost stories that have made their town a tourists attraction, but are not very open to accept unique individuals that are recognized by the government as equals. Lots of bigotry if you ask me....
I like the fact that some of the myths that surround vampires are debunked in these books. It makes a world a lot easier to survive in for these functioning beings .
The stories themselves are varied enough to hold your attention even if listening to them one after the other. The narration is also well done. One issue I had listening to the audiobooks however was the missing pause between chapters that influenced some of the narration's flow.
It is a series that you will enjoy, but that will also make you think. Teenagers vampires that will never reach adulthood, secular vampires that are forever young in aspect, but so old in experience, the need to find food not readily available and to suppress a natural urge, would all be social troubling aspects of this fantastical society. For once, vampires have their own troubles to sort...

From one calamity to another Priscilla seems to just roll through life in the modern century like an out of control beacon of death, no pun intended. She's gone for over 200 years with no problem then of a sudden murder seems to be in the air.
The narrator is fantastic as she brings each of the characters to life.
