About this listen
"Why do I have to have moral issues with killing someone? I feel like such a hypocrite! It's worse than a vegetarian touting organically grown steaks." (Eric, physics teacher, involuntary vampire, and part-time demon slayer)
Eric didn't ask to be a vampire. In fact he didn't even believe in them. Biting your own tongue with your fangs does a lot of convincing. Even so, being a part-time undead isn't as easy as you might think. It can let you hold down a day job, true, but sometimes the night "life" can be more than a little difficult, what with those bloodthirsty urges and predatory instincts kicking in. Luckily for Eric he can rely on his trusty steed and her unwavering support, his flaming sword and its sarcastic wit, and his own snarky sense of humor.
©2015 Garon Whited (P)2015 Podium AudioI won't tell you anymore of the plot, but it's a tiny part of it and his adventures where he ends up involves magic, swords, monsters, religious orders and a world that utterly hates vampires for good reason. So you follow his desperate attempt to survive, make allies, learn magic, learn his own heritage and much, much more.
The only down side for me is the narrator. Podium books use Sean a lot and I have no idea why. He is average at best. He reads the narrative perfectly finely, with good pacing and rhythm. The problem is he is utterly lousy at character voicing. By lousy I mean he doesn't do any. I can only assume people that gave him 5 stars have never heard a top quality narrator or just give out five stars to everything. And don't get me started on how badly he butchered the English accent. It was so badly I didn't recognize it as English at all, and at one point was more bad Scottish. So again, I have no idea why they use him so much, or why he is rated as a top narrator. Not in my book, and I've listened to about 500 audiobooks.
Fun opening to a good series, with only one issue
