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...

So I really did like this book and yes the comparison with Andrews etc is true… I wasn’t expecting the main love interest to be female which was written well but just wasn’t what I was expecting and not my trope, but spoiler alert there does seem to be a male love interest too near the end of the book. I’ll continue with the series because it’s got excellent character development and now I’m curious.

Great start wasn’t what I was expecting

Neither the story line nor the narrator could hold my attention past the second chapter. It may pick up further down the line but I just couldn't get there.
