About this listen

Kain was content with his life as a hunter, one of the few people standing in the way of humanity finding out about the supernatural. But when Artemis, his youngest sibling and only sister, makes a run for it in response to an arranged marriage, and Gabriel, the head of the Hellsing Family, refuses to go looking for her, Kain is prepared to throw it all away to keep her safe. He’s only the sixth-born son after all, what problems could his disownment cause?

Vlad has lived longer than he has a right to, and the last hundred years have gone terribly, beginning with the death of his oldest friend and culminating in a hunter trying to invade his grandson’s estate. The presence of Kain could spell disaster for his court, but when he discovers that the Hellsing family had a seventh-born son of a seventh-born son, pointing out a flaw in his spy network, Vlad decided to keep the man with him. A decision that has absolutely nothing to do with how pretty the young hunter looks with defiance in his eyes and venom on his tongue— that would be irresponsible, after all, and Vlad has learned the consequences of being impulsive.

Kain Helsing is the 6th son of a 7th son in a long line of hunters, he’s strong and powerful, but not the head of his family. When Gabriel, the head of his family, forbids the family to go looking for their missing sister, Artemis, Kain decides to defy him, ending up at the estate of the Vlad, the Vampire King. Vlad is old and powerful beyond measure, more than a match for Kain and yet the two men develop a deep respect for each other. Vlad has been mourning the loss of his mate for over two centuries but after an assassination attempt, Kain is left in grave danger and only Vlad has the power to save him. But why should he help his prisoner?

This supernatural romance had plenty of great ideas, superb action, and two strong main characters. I absolutely enjoyed the ride! It does have two problems that might put readers off: first, we are introduced to a bewildering array of characters and it takes a while to sort out who’s who; and second, there are huge info dumps of world building. They are helpful but it’s easy to glaze over with the sheer amount of info thrown at you. All I can say is that the story makes up for these drawbacks and it’s totally worth sticking with it—everything starts to make sense after a while. The book title, Artemis’s Brother, does the book no favours, it’s a clumsy title and it’s uninspiring, Artemis doesn’t actually appear in the story. A better title would have been “Hunter”. 🎧 Voice actor Declan Winters does a fantastic job on the audiobook, it was a real pleasure to hear him perform the story! I’ll definitely seek out more audios by this author and narrator!

Great supernatural vampire vs hunter romance!
