Publisher's summary

Vivienne Neas' best-selling series, now bundled into a box set.

Book one

The shade a vampire has left in my family is still hunting me, making my life a restless chase.

It's not only my job; I have a personal vendetta to carry out against vampires. They are the reason my sister is in a wheelchair and our mother is gone. And I'm not a forgiving girl.

Vampires start integrating among humans, but even with laws adapting to the new society, many problems arise. I solve them. I kill problems.

In the span of less than two weeks I manage to turn my entire world upside down.

Book two

I have managed to start a new life as instructor at the Martial Arts Academy in Westham.

No more black leathers, no more silver bullets, only training clothes - or so I thought....

A young woman arrives at the academy. She wants to be taught to kill vampires, and she wants me to teach her. But she doesn't know I'm half vampire; she doesn't know about my past. This would change the peaceful life I just achieved.

Book three

In the middle of the night, I find Joel and my sister at my door: Our friend Carl is in jail in Fort Atkinson, accused of murdering a young vampire girl, and it's me who he wants to help him to get out clean.

I don't mix up with police - you don't if you have a past like mine. But this time, my cop student offers to help me in Carl's investigation, and I desperately need his help.

Book four

Two shadows in a dark alley: They look so alike they could easily be twins. I strain my senses, and I smell vampire. When I'm killing my mark, a deafening scream comes out of its mouth, so I wake up. I've been haunted far too long by this nightmare, and the job at the academy isn't helping me anymore.

There's a vampire with a long list of goons chasing after me, looking to avenge his brother's death.

I know this is no ordinary vampire: He's very powerful. His face has been haunting me every night; this time I'm scared, and I feel in real danger. I have a feeling this will be my time.

So I'm out on the street again, ready to fight, and this time, I'm the only one to blame.

Vampire Hunter that is a half-breed interesting

I love how she is a half-breed killing vampires for money and then realizes it is not for the best. It takes her awhile to transform her life for the better. I enjoyed how she worked through all the loss and realization of how she needed to change. Great read #AudioBookObsession

Decent series. Action packed

I have mixed feelings about this series. Parts of the stories were awesome and action packed and then others were extremely dull. Adele is a half vampire who starts off hunting vampires. I don’t want to give things away but her career path changes a bit and she does grow as a person. I feel like everything was wrapped up nicely. But I still felt bored throughout the series.

The narration was good. She did a great job changing her voice to give the characters a different voice. If you get the change to listen to it I highly recommend it.

The storyline & characters were great, but

loved the storyline, loved the characters!
but the reading was - atrocious. in fact, if the storyline had been less than it was, I wouldnt have made it thru. it sounded robotic, you could hear background noise at some points... it was just unfortunate because it was really such a great storyline.

No bad just predictable

Maybe I read too many of these kinds of books because I found the stories predictable. However, the characters were likable and the plots were decent.

Vampire Shade Collection

Where a half vampire turns into a vampire hunter. I really liked the direction this book went and you could feel all the emotions involved with a great narration.

Plot seems interesting enough, but...

So, I must confess I didn't make it very far in listening to this series because of the narration. I couldn't handle the... robotic is the best word I can come up with... delivery. I will say that the narrator did do pretty well in changing voices for the different characters (to the point I'd listened, at least), hence 2 stars for narration instead of just one. In any case, I returned the Audible version (something I rarely do). Since it's currently free to read on Kindle, I'll try reading the first book of the series there,

Boring

I don’t know, kind of boring. Maybe if it had a different narrator as this one was pretty bad. I just didn’t like that things happened only upon convenience. One minute she takes the night shift because vampires are nocturnal. The second it’s because she’s hiding. Little things like that I’ve noticed so many times in every chapter. I had to finally stop by chapter 12.
