If there is one city that Scarlett Bernard hates, it's Las Vegas. But when the cardinal vampire of Los Angeles convinces her to go investigate a new vampire-themed stage show, Scarlett quickly finds herself shoulder-deep in sequins, slot machines, and Old World intrigue. The show's creators are vampire celebrities Arthur and Lucy Holmwood, who once inspired characters from the original Dracula. Now, however, they have no qualms about announcing their true status to the human world.

I truly appreciate how all of the characters were brought together. I REALLY love the cliffhangers on a few stories. It gives me hope that the stories will continue for Nate, Laliah and the new Shadow Elf (Tarryan/if it's misspelled, my apologies). Arthur his followers need to be stopped.

I love Steve McHugh but...
This audiobook was just okay. I got bored with the fight scenes there wasn't much of a plot and I can't believe I'm saying this but I only finished it because I'm looking forward to the next Nate Garrett book and I didn't want to miss any of the back story for that. I was so distracted by the way the narrator voiced Mordred it made my brain hurt. it was like she had no idea who the character was. and why do so many of her male characters have high voices with snooty accents? like her male characters have higher voices than most of her female characters. I dealt with it with Remy but Mordred was awful.

great story but bad narration
Outstanding story. Amazing writing.....with an awesome end that got me excited...... Major downside is the terrible narration. Unfortunately this narrator has limited voices and those she does are incredibly similar to others in the story. biggest downside and an insult to the writing is her lack of correct pronunciation of the characters who's names are NOT just part of this writers work but many are well known and simply pronounced wrong.

Amazing series. Not so good narrator!
I initially struggled to get into the Avalon Chronicles, being a huge Nate Garrett (Aka Hellequin from Steve McHugh's amazing Hellequin series). It was strange reading from a female POV and I did struggle to relate to Layla who initially irritated me no end with her see saw whinging and wonder woman acts! I now believe this was Steve McHugh's intention to show her growth. The series isn't as easy to read as the Hellequin series and did take me a bit of effort to stick with it but wow am I glad I did. I was literally jumping up and down with excitement, laughing, crying and a full gamut of emotions. I feel strung out now after finishing this last book! I think I need a lie down now lol! The only thing to say is that I resorted to the kindle edition in the end. I think the narrator was a poor choice for this book. One of the main male characters Modred sounded like the narrator had taken a hit of helium before speaking his part. It wasn't always certain who was actually talking as some of the character's voices sound very similar but the main thing that caused me a huge amount of annoyance and ultimately why I changed to the written copy was the narrator's pronunciation of some of the character's names. Abadden I've heard pronounced as ah-ba-don in the Hellequin series was pronounced ah-bad-en. Cerberus was pronounced as kerr-bear-us with a hard K as in 'care' rather than a soft S as in 'ceramic'. Sometimes it is difficult to get used to another narrator's pronunciation and their vocalizations of characters when you have been used to a different narrator. I think to keep the continuity going the same narrator that did the last few books of the Hellequin series would have been so much better. I've never written badly about a narrator before as I can only imagine it's a long and arduous task to narrate a book but on this occasion it seriously interfered with the enjoyment of the book!
