The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . The Last Vampire: Book 1 . . . cliffhangers . . . not so, say it didn't just end like it did. 

Overall      3 out of 5 stars 
Performance      3 out of 5 stars 
Story      3 out of 5 stars

If you are an audio person that likes to hear the ethnicity or lack of ethnicity in your character you are not in the right place. Big cliffhanger. Interesting characters. Interesting concept. Lots of ideas in one place and little to no real progress made to a finish line. There was a story there that did not finish. There was some levels of change in the narrators vocal abilities, but not rich enough to pull off the various layers of characters that were presented. 

Six hours of listening and then there was no real forward progress made. I felt like there may have been too much thrown in to make it to the end of this first installment.


BLURB
There’s a smokin’ hot dead guy locked in my garden shed. That part’s bad enough. But now, he’s trying to get out.

Growing up, my father always told me that I’d come to a bad end, just like my mom did when I was a kid. Hearing that kind of stuff when you’re little eventually gets to a girl, but I can’t say I ever expected my "bad end" to involve an angry vampire with a severe case of iron deficiency and a panty-melting English accent.

Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. Ever since my mother was assassinated, I’ve felt like there was something vast and frightening hidden beneath the fabric of the world - something none of us are supposed to know about.

So far, finding out I was right hasn’t been nearly as satisfying as I’d hoped. I guess the trick will be staying alive long enough to shout, "I told you so" from the rooftops.

But before I can do that, I really need to figure out if the vampire who just bit me is one of the good guys or not.

The Last Vampire is a steamy, new urban fantasy romance series from USA Today best-selling author R. A. Steffan and Jaelynn Woolf, co-authors of the Circle of Blood saga.
Download book one today, and enter a world shared by humans, fae, demons, and one very reluctant vampire. It’s a place where the supernatural threatens the mundane, nothing is as it seems, and love will either be the world’s downfall - or its salvation.
