Publisher's summary

When centuries-old vampire Baron Rudolfo Zginski was staked in Wales in 1915, the last thing he expected was to reawaken in Memphis, Tennessee, 60 years later. Reborn into a new world of simmering racial tensions, he must adapt quickly if he is to survive.

Hoping to learn how his kind copes with this bizarre new era, Zginski tracks down a nest of teenage vampires, who have little knowledge of their true nature, having learned most of what they know from movies like Blacula. Forming an uneasy alliance with the young vampires, Zginski begins to teach them the truth about their powers. They must learn quickly for there's a new drug on the street created to specifically target and destroy vampires. As Zginski and his allies track the drug to its source, they may unwittingly be stepping into a trap that can destroy them all.

Another gem series by Alex Bedsoe

Alex Bledsoe is my new favorite author, discovered via his then free Eddie lacrosse sword, jockey series. The author is masterful at character creation and developing the reader in his finally detailed settings.

Stephen Rudnicki, with his buttery man vocals, is a masterful voice actor and narrator.

starts well, ends bad

The only real saving grace is the speaker's narration, as the book tends to make little sense. The characters, while enjoyable, seem to make decisions completely out of character and the author seems to be able to wipe it away with a sentence. It's like a summer movie that has the glitz and glamour, but none of the substance.

Vampire nonsense

I started "Blood Groove" by Alex Bledsoe after thoroughly enjoying his Eddie LaCrosse series. Given my fondness for his previous work, I had high expectations. However, I must say I'm relieved this book came free with my subscription; otherwise, I wouldn't forgive myself for spending money on it.

The story is just plain nonsense, and I felt like I wasted over 8 hours of my time. Fortunately, I listened to it during a long drive, which made the experience somewhat bearable compared to enduring the local radio station's endless squeaking. The only redeeming quality of this audiobook is Stephen Rudnicki's narration, which was quite good.
