The story was okay, but didn't hold my attention.

The story had its ups and downs. Some parts were fast paced but others seemed to drag. struggled to finish the book.

CAN I SAT NAV MY WAY TO PENTON PLEASE?

Yes, there's a real overload of vampire books out there now but I found this one is one of the good ones with it's different direction to the usual evil bloodsuckers story. Aidan's dreams of co-existing with the human blood donors in Penton was very touching and so was his feelings for Krystal. Instant attractions between the two grew rapidly until it's ultimate consummation (quite mild on the spice scale) and it was a pleasant change to have a flower growing, thoughtful and mild mannered vampire that's in charge and not the usual strong Alpha vamp.

The imaganative plot includes some very interesting characters that bring more intrigues to the story along with them.

Narrator did a great job and I'm off now to listen to the next in the trilogy about the executioner Mirren's story.

Worth a credit? It's definately absolutely worth a credit but, at $9.79 for 10.5 hours, it's great value for your money so, if you can, I would say just buy it and save your credits for more expensive listens.

Four chapters in with an annoying narrator

I'm reviewing this before I've finished the book because the narrator is so annoying I can't seem to let it go. Angela Dawe speaks every sentence in the same cadence, as though each one is a melodramatic tension point. Her character voices sound very much the same.

I'm going to bull through and see if the story is any good, but for anyone considering this audiobook, I'd recommend listening to as much of the sample as you can. I'll come back at the end of the book and try to review the story itself.

Vampire story in a different angle

What i love about this book:

1.) Story is catchy and different
2.) The pace is reasonably fast and consistent
3.) Sexual tension is off the chart (a bit cliché at times, but can't complain)
4.) Action packed
5.) Absolutely capable narrator

Grab this book! You can't stop listening :) i guarantee....

Good start to a new Vampire series

Food Supplies for Vampires are quickly drying up thanks to a new vaccine for vampirism which renders the human blood poisonous for vampires. Master Vampire named Aiden Murphy and a few vampires moved to Penton, Alabama to establish a peaceful community with vampires and their human familiars (bonded humans called their family or "Fam") who have not had the vaccines.

So with the population of unvaccinated humans dwindled, vampires were starving all over the world and the vampire ruling Tribunal were running out of ideas for a new food supply. Thus Aiden’s community gained the attention of other vampires who envied them and in addition to being worried about a possible rise to power as the only well-fed community. Aiden invites a young doctor named Krystal Harris to come interview to be his community's personal doctor and Krys becomes the object of Aidan's attention. However, his forced detention of Krys broke vampire laws giving the tribunal an opening to target Aiden’s scathe.

I found this book a solid start to the series. I admit the book was kind of predictable and simple in plot, but that is exactly why I loved it. Sometimes stories get bogged down with twists and turns, but this one was just pretty straight forward, thus the story and the writing stood front and center.

I actually liked Aiden’s lieutenants more than I liked him because he was kind of one dimensional in the beginning. I will admit that I didn’t quite understand why Aiden’s brother was as sadistic as he was, but when juxtaposed with Aiden’s character, I could see that Aiden must have been a mirror that Owen hated looking into. But I think Matthias Ludlam is going to be a force to be reckoned with and Aiden will have his hands full protecting his community. Great writing style and great imagery.I look forward to the development of this upcoming war between the Penton residents and the Tribunal.

Excellent

loved it, was a Good new vampire series.
I wasn't sure if I was going to like the book enough to try but after a while I was enjoying the audible book and by the end of the book one here I was interested in Aden the main alpha Vampire and the lovely New Doctor he falls for named Chris. By the end I had to keep reading the next titles in tge series. I have been very happy after continuing to read the rest of the titles after and each perfectly follows the next regardless of what you may read of the description which can leave you wondering if it will be as good or better which it does get better and does keep the characters from each title in the next plus new ones and news surprises and characters that ypu never expected to be written plus different types of romantic relationships with the other characters and leaves you wanting more. The narrator was good no issues actually liked the narrator more and more by the last book after seeing how brilliant this woman can change her voice to sound like a man in so very different ways:)!! I have a hard time finding great Vampire Series of audible or kindle narration added reads. I also recommend if you have not already done so to read for sure Every single kindle with added narration or aubilble version of the books called " The Shade " by the author Bella Forrest, That is an excellent good 15 -16 audible titles in a series tgat you will definitely enjoy and so far the author has so many characters that I love how she always uses many narrators

NOT SURE

Would you recommend Redemption to your friends? Why or why not?

No only because its not a book that will stand out in my mind.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes

Victoria Palmer's Review

a well done entertaiining vampire read with, be warned, adult sex scenes which if kept out would not detract from the story. Except for that, I. thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to fans of Vampire stories.

Engaging Series

Starts off a little slow, but makes up for it later on . Good series. Have read the first two. They actually have an engaging plot, where the protagonists battle something worth fighting for a cooperative society. I'd give a re-read for sure
