Very Good

Not sure what I was expecting going in but I was pleasantly surprised and will be continuing the series.

The story was amazing

It took me a minute to get into the accent, but I loved it! Excellent book and excellent reader

Great blend of a vampire book with period fantasy

This book was fun to listen to with good story and the right amount of humor to keep me hooked. The characters are all interesting in their own way and the take on vampires during the western expansion of the US is very well done. The book uses a lot of familiar vampires tropes without falling into traps that ruin a lot of similar books making it a refreshing take on the genre. There are other mythological creatures in the story and they're presented in a way that is always unique and interesting. All narration in the book was also very well done.

Entertaining, consistent and quality

Refreshing to see a competent MC - struggles, ambition but a dose of inspiring perseverance along the way.

Very pleasant

I am not usually one for vampire stories, but I liked the offer of series so I decided to give this one a try and I was not disappointed. The characters feel alive. The mythical creatures are interesting and I’m excited to see where the story go next.
