Publisher's Summary

Some people are born boring. Some live boring. Some even die boring. Fred managed to do all three, and when he woke up as a vampire, he did so as a boring one.

Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues, Fred has never been the adventurous sort. One fateful night - different from the night he died, which was more inconvenient than fateful - Fred reconnects with an old friend at his high school reunion. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events thrusting him right into the chaos of the parahuman world: a world with chipper zombies, truck driver wereponies, maniacal necromancers, ancient dragons, and now one undead accountant trying his best to "survive". Because even after it's over, life can still be a downright bloody mess.

Ok

It's ok, a bit predictable and repetitive
Only "strong" female Character has no real development and is just a "prize" for the main character and is only "strong" to make her a a better prize

Vampire accountant need I say more?

Having prior 'read' NPC's by the same author I had high hopes going in and this did not fail those. The story is easy to pick up at any point in the series and is great right through. Portraying the main character, Fred is such a normal light while himself pointing out the obvious differnces feels fun and in good humour.

would make a good sitcom

it wasn't too bad and a good fun listen. Not over sophisticated so it doesn't involved thinking too hard which was good.
I would recommend for a fun easy listen bit don't expect too much.

its giving misogyny

the internal thoughts of this character are borderline creepy at some points. the plot lines were obvious tired tropes. DNF

The narrator carries the story

I am really not sure why people say this book is amazing. The only amazing thing about it is the narration which is 5 stars. The story writing on the other hand… feels like it was written by a 14 years old with zero experience with proper storytelling. It feels like it’s below the YA category, somewhere between picture books and smaller stories for children who have a low attention span and makes a friend out of every foe. Like really?

Loved it!

I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. At first I though the narrators voice was a bit monotone but once the story started, I realised he was perfect for Fred. It was easily one of my favourite reads of the year so far!

F@#&1ng Delightfull.

The narrators voice captures the personality of this charicter perfectly. Slightly anoying, but growing on you with this self depreciative and ludicrously humerous tail that draws you in page by... Well ok whatever...
The charter development was wonderful. The plot reminiscent of old school cliffhanger 80s tv series with out the baggage of pridctibility. The twists in every chapter made this a fun ride. I could listen to this again easily. Violent, awkward, fantisafull and good chuckel.
