About this listen
Paranormal Investigator Ian McDermott has come to the small coastal river city of Astoria, Oregon, to investigate a rash of recent slayings, that in their wake, have left the banks of the Columbia River littered with horrifically mutilated, completely exsanguinated rotting corpses.
All leads point to the new waterfront nightclub, aptly named: The Morgue - devilishly devised by its unabashedly flamboyant owner, Vladimir Drago Salizzar (a self-proclaimed vampiric creature of the night), to attract Gothic types and presumed vampire role-playing raving revelers.
Ian, along with his four-legged friend, Scout, and his financial benefactor's niece, Zoey, finds himself in way beyond his depth, caught up in an unimaginable web of extreme danger, malevolent evil, and demonic deceit in this terrifying tale that will leave you breathless at every twist and turn; as you dive deep into the cold hellish abyss that is...Red Tide - The Flavel House Horror: Vampires of the Morgue.

A missing child draws Deputy Daniel Clark into a bizarre investigation that leaves him questioning what he just witnessed. Trained to trust his instincts and to pay close attention to detail, his rational brain is at war with what he has seen. Something very strange is happening in rural Sloan County, Missouri. Nothing in his experience has prepared him for anything like this. More disappearances only make the mystery deepen as the Sheriff tries to cover up what’s really going on. Clark enlists the aid of other deputies who, like himself, have seen things that don’t make sense.

Vampires?
This is a pretty good book. I loved Shawn Salzman’s narrations. I was not crazy about the background noises, like barking and music. Sometimes it interferes with hearing the book. The story was good though.

Discerning vampire!
Our protagonist Ian McDermott is a paranormal investigator. In this tale, Ian is investigating the possible existence of vampires. Bodies drained of blood and some missing internal organs have been showing up in and around Astoria, Oregon. Specifically under suspicion is a new nightclub called The Morgue; tastefully modeled and decorated after a 16th-century castle. The owner, Vladimir Drago Salizzar is a self-proclaimed vampire, which helps attract those of the Gothic and vampiric persuasion. This puts the police and FBI cross-hairs directly on Salizzar. This is the account of Ian’s encounter with the vampires and his narrow escape. It also describes his budding literary partnership with Clayton Collins, the local celebrity author. The characters are great and quite likable. Zoey is the love interest and she added personality to the tale. A good story with excellent narration. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Excellent!
This book was awesome!!! I really hope that I can review the rest of the series. And I really hope he continues writing for this series. It is very good. It is original for a paranormal books which I greatly appreciate because sometimes I have a hard time finding a good fantasy novel that I can actually remember what it was about 2-3 weeks later. The characters are all very multidimensional and likeable. Also, the narration was perfect! I've got a few books from S.W. Salzman, and he always does such a good job. Thank you so much for this book! I most def want more from this series!! <3
EDIT: OHHH... I forgot to mention the background music and sound effects for gunshots and things like they...they were amazing. I don't know why more authors don't do this, The only other series I've heard with the sound effects were LKH Anita Blake series, And they are my all time favorite book ever! And just like her books, the sound effects made an incredible book even better!
OOhhh and poor brave Scout. Bad things happening to animals tend to affect me more than people. (I know...issues lol). But I'm glad everything worked out, at least for now.
This book was given to me at my request. I am providing a honest and voluntary review.
Thanx for reading. If you didn't hate my review, or agree that this book is awesome, please click that helpful button. I'm trying to get my ratio up (I know...I have issues! lol)~~ Thank you!

Not really a paranormal investigator
This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com.
I don't know how i feel about the story. For a paranormal story, we don't see anything paranormal until the end of the book. For a PI story, there's no investigation. In the beginning of the story, Ian decides he needs to go to the Morgue, a distasteful vampire-esque night club. He spends the middle of the story lounging around and flirting with a girl. Then finally at the end he goes to the night club and we reach the climax. On the way, he meets a fiction writer once, who acts as the story's wise-old-man trope. Suddenly the author gives him a lot of money and calls them friends. I don't buy it. Without giving spoilers, I didn't buy the end of the story either for similar reasons. I felt ian really didn't do much for the town as a paranormal investigator. 3/5
As for the narrator, i thought he was fantastic. He was great with the hysterical Sally and older author and radio messages. He uses some sound effects like music, dog barking, and door opening. He didn't convince me he was a sexy 20 year old girl, but to be honest, I'd be a little creeped out if he did. 5/5

Great narration.
I was so looking forward to this as I absolutely adored book 1, but to be honest, it's a bit of a let down!
This time we see Ian in Astoria, Oregon. He is investigating the grizzly murders that are leaving people mutilated and drained of blood. He has an idea of what may be causing the murders, and after what happened in book 1, he now knows that the things that go bump in the night are real, but how can he find the Vampires and stop them? Just what lore is real and what is not?
As I said, I loved book 1 and was really looking forward to this. I eagerly started it but for about half to nearly three quarters of the book, I found my attention wandering. I didn't think it was as fast paced as I was hoping, and the dialogue between the characters became quite annoying! It seemed like they had to say the persons name, whom they were talking to, multiple times during their talk. It was repetitive and very very tedious. About half way through I was going to put it aside for later but I persevered as I wanted to see what would happen.
Now it wasn't all bad. The characters were all well developed. Ian was as awesome as always and along with Scout, his trusty dog, they make a great team. In this one, they meet a prolific writer and his niece and I enjoyed the twist the author put on for them. I also enjoyed the Vampire lore and mythology., it showed that the author did his research well. I enjoyed the club they were investigating but did think the author could of made the villain a little more mysterious. We know kind of from the start that it's Vladimir Drago Salizzar that is the vamp, but I wished we had a bit more suspense before finding this out.
In all, it's a good read and has me very curious to see where the author takes the story. I still love Ian and definitely want to continue the series but I hope the author can fix the issues with the dialogue because it really has the potential to be a great series.
S.W. Salzman did a great job again with the narration. There wasn't as many sound effects in this as in book 1 but there were still some, and they were all well placed. He had plenty of different tones for the characters and made the book a little more enjoyable.
*I received this for review from the narrator via AudioBook Boom. This in no way affected my thoughts.*
