About this listen

Book 1 in the best-selling Bite Back series "Vampires are the flickering illusions of Hollywood. They don't exist. We do. We are the Athanate."

For Amber Farrell, post-military life as a PI has its ups and downs: She's been hit by a truck. She's being sued by a client. Denver's newest drug lord just put out a contract on her. The sinister Athanate want her to come in for a friendly chat. And it's only Tuesday. Enter Jennifer Kingslund: rich, gorgeous - a tough businesswoman who's known for getting what she wants in the boardroom and the bedroom. Someone's trying to sabotage her new resort and destroy her company - and she wants Amber to find out who. The answers lead Amber past Were and Adept, right back to the Athanate - and a centuries-old war that could threaten not just Denver, but the nation that Amber swore to protect and serve. And all sides want to claim her for their own...

3.5 due to narrator mostly

I really enjoyed the story here, a nice twist on the usual vampire story but the narrators voice was very monotonous and her characters were a bit stale at times. Also you know those snappy one liners.authors put another end of a chapter....they were delivered almost an an afterthought....not sure whether to listen based on narrator might get the paper book instead tho as I'm intrigued to see where Amber goes next.

Very nice audiobook!

I was given a promotional code in exchange for a fair review.

Some time ago, I stumbled across the Athanate books and very much enjoyed them. Book 4 will be published soon and I will get it. In between, I have been listening to the audio books and I felt that that story went very well with this format. To me, it brought the story a little bit more alive and I very much enjoyed listening to them. So if you have the chance, go grab them!

Small, disconnected stories

The audiobook felt like a series of small, disconnected stories rather than a cohesive narrative to really get into. I enjoyed the reader’s performance, but I just couldn’t connect with the main character. Her personality felt inconsistent, swaying between self-made confidence and needing help, followed by bouts of crying, which didn’t resonate with me. Overall, it didn’t leave a strong impression, and I won’t be getting the next book.
