Publisher's summary

The ultimate secret. The ultimate agent. The President's vampire. Zach Barrows is an ambitious young White House staffer whose career takes an unexpected turn when he's partnered with Nathaniel Cade, a secret agent sworn to protect the President. But Cade is no ordinary civil servant. Bound by a special blood oath, he is a vampire. Cade battles nightmares before they can break into the daylight world of the American dream, enemies far stranger-and far more dangerous-than civilians have ever imagined. Blood Oath is the first in a series of novels featuring Nathaniel Cade-the President's vampire.

Entertaining!

If you want to listen to something that will spark your imagination and have you chuckling once in a while, be sure to get this book. I thought that the characters developed nicely, and the story line is original, to say the least. I quite like Cade and his handlers, Griff and Zach. Am looking forward to the next one, which I will be starting today.

Interesting and Different

This is not the usual 'monster' or vampire story. The premise is interesting. The story moves fast. The narration superb.

Fun from beginning to end

The premise sounds ridiculous -- and, of course, it is -- but this is one of the most fun vampire books yet. The writing and the reader make it a phenomenal listen.

Fantastic Trilogy! Must listen books

What made the experience of listening to Blood Oath the most enjoyable?

The whole concept of the "Black World" just outside the public knowledge and Nathanial Kade's demeanor and the exact interpretation of his oath are a solid foundation for the books. The relationship between Nathanial and his handlers as well as his recognition of who he is and how he fits into the whole scenario is so creative and well written. Don't want to say too much.
DON'T MISS IT!

Entertaining. Mildly

So this is one of those books where .. like pizza even when its bad its still kinda good. Not the worst. Not the best. Entertaining. If you miss a part you wont find yourself needing to rewind. Pinchot who is inconsistent with his narration skills actually does an okay job in the book.
All in all .. I give a 4 across. Didn't hate. Not running to spend a credit on the next one
