About this listen

A rookie cop. A team of supernatural detectives. Recalcitrant baby vampires on the loose.

My name is Cat McKenzie, and I’ve been a very bad girl….

No, not in the I-need-a-spanking way...pervert.

Nope, my kind of bad got my partner killed on my first day of the job. And now I’m getting punished by being thrown in as human liaison to PIG—the Paranormal Investigative Group.

Seriously, what were my superiors thinking?

I’m not going to lie: I hate all supernatural beings, but especially those cocky ones like my new partner happens to be. Between baby vampires terrorizing school events, my truck getting totalled and demon sex clubs, I wonder who the hell I pissed off in a different life.

But when the vampire threat becomes personal, I'm hell bent on getting to the bottom of it.

Audio Book Review - Narrator Allie Shae - incredible & talented voice actor.

Canny, funny and intriguing - urban fantasy story.


Cat Mckenzie - is my kind of Larrkin with her irreverent tone & manner( luv those salutes & every inch counts)


S A W Y E R - hes just sooooo suave and but yet so attractively push&pull difficult towards Cat.

I really enjoyed this audiobook, it's filled with interesting, likeable characters and a really different, interesting story. This is all backed up by a really great narrator to bring life to each individual character. I really recommend this book series.

Except for one aspect, well 1.2. The .2 being the over use of the F word in book two and its book two where i start to have my biggest problem with this story and that's the explicit sex scenes. Chapter 13 of book 2 is entirely made up of sex scene and it lasts 23 12-inch Long minutes. This series is one of my favs so I've listened many times but I've started skipping past chapter 13 in book 2 and other similar chapters. I would enjoy this book series even more had the explicit sex been left out.

Really enjoyable
