About this listen
Prequel to the best-selling Bite Back series.
"I'd lost my entire team, and nearly lost my life. In a way, I had lost my life, and was left with this - a tightrope walk between hunting down creatures people didn't believe existed, and being locked up as one."
After a career-ending incident on a covert military operation, Amber Farrell is surprised to find herself back in her hometown of Denver, working as a rookie policewoman. But what happened in the army casts a shadow across her life from which she will never be free.
The prequel to the Bite Back series introduces Amber Farrell, a kick ass lady with a secret problem - she's been bitten by a vampire. She's working hard to start a new life, hold down a job, and meet all the expectations put on her. When people start to die suspiciously in Denver, Amber has to decide between duty and instinct, between what she should do and what she must do.

Like an electric current, arcing from ear to ear through the New York underworld, the word comes; he’s here. The city has a new Master of vampires, House Altau, and the existing, unaffiliated community is now facing a sentence of death.
The storm builds, and one of the leaders of that community, Livia or Julius, must chose to be the lightning conductor to save the rest from destruction. But will that be an acceptable sacrifice to Altau?

A music therapist who thrives on helping others, Kendra Michaels cherishes the ordinary life she has achieved after stem cell surgery restored her sight. The skills she perfected during those sightless years - the ability to pick up the most subtle audio, olfactory, and tactile cues in the world around her - coupled with her laser-sharp mind - have made her a uniquely potent observer and problem solver. Kendra’s uncanny way of connecting the dots is as baffling to law enforcement as it is legendary.

Innocent citizens are being killed - and others set up - seemingly orchestrated by a mysterious ski-masked man.

Gunther knows that he must pursue the case to its conclusion, wherever it leads.

Hard Boiled meets Urban Fantasy
What made the experience of listening to Raw Deal the most enjoyable?
Julia Motyka is a great narrator. Great story, great narrator, perfect match.
What other book might you compare Raw Deal to and why?
Maybe Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assassin series. It's not a good comparison but they share something. Not sure what but it's the first thing I thought of.
Which character – as performed by Julia Motyka – was your favorite?
Amber Farrell is great.
Any additional comments?
This entire series is great. It starts quite simply and develops in complexity as it progresses.

Should be book one
I have read and own the entire series. That is to say most of the kindle books and all the audible.
Which I might add says a lot about the series. So yes this is a definite 5 star Audible as are the the others and of course should be read and listened to in order.
