Amaliya wakes under the forest floor, disoriented, famished and confused. She digs out of the shallow grave and realizes she is hungry... ... in a new, horrific, unimaginable way... Sating her great hunger, she discovers that she is now a vampire, the bloodthirsty creature of legend. She has no choice but to flee from her old life and travels across Texas. Her new hunger spurs her to leave a wake of death and blood behind her as she struggles with her new nature. All the while, her creator is watching. He is ancient, he is powerful, and what's worse is that he's a necromancer. He has the power to force the dead to do his bidding.

Amaliya realizes she is but a pawn in a twisted game, and her only hope for survival is to seek out one of her own kind. But if Amaliya finds another vampire, will it mean her salvation... or her death?

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, this was a fun story read well. The narrators style takes a few minutes to get used to then it's all about the story.

What other book might you compare Pretty When She Dies to and why?

It reminds me of other gothic horror/romance books I have read, though that is not my primary genre... The characters feel a bit cookie cutter and wander into Mary Sue territory, but not so far that they cannot be enjoyed.

Which scene was your favorite?

There is a point in the book where it turns from vampire romance into weird monster book, and that was a lot of fun.

Was Pretty When She Dies worth the listening time?

Time well spent, I was entertained.

Any additional comments?

Though this book falls into a few stereotypes and character traps, the underlying story and the well paced writing make it likely I will give the next book in the series a try.

A bit stereotypical, but a lot of fun.

Rhiannonon's characters are wonderful, she has crafted a vampire world that is bloody and sexy without being too cliche. Kristin's narration is perfect. Kristin's voice has the exact sultryness I would expect for the main character.

Dark and Sexy!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The Prose was rather simplistic but you slowly lose the feeling of being peached at after a chapter or two.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The ending was rather predictable, but the struggle made it worth while.

What about Kristin Allison’s performance did you like?

The Narrator did a great job. Nice inflections and her repitior of characters voices was well played.

Do you think Pretty When She Dies needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It ended well, and there is no REASON to continue. Doubtless if enough sold it will be continued.

Any additional comments?

The early prose were difficult to get past, but the overall story was well enough to keep us entertained.

License for driving, but anyone can make a vamp.

Main character grew on me and loved her grandmother. Romantic lead was weak, but maybe he will get better in book two.

liked the story

Good book not great

The book is good but you have to tollerate the first half. This vampire book is a more of a back to basics without drowning you in over the top reality changes that break believability. Many people will miss out because they don't hang in there and realize that the narrators monotone is due to 3rd person pespective and a disorientated character being overly emphasized early on. There were a few parts where the he said she said got annoying but i understand that because the transition from text to audio isn't always perfect. The book got good latter on and I ended up loving it so i am buying the next one.
