About this listen

She has hunted him for years. Now if she could only kill him.

Lyssandra’s life is a lie. As a hunter of the Helius Order, she’s dedicated to slaying vampires and protecting the innocent. But she’s also a vampire’s human servant.

If her secret comes out, her own order will execute her. When she finds Asher, she’ll cut out his heart for tying her to him, even if he only did it to save her. Even if it kills her too. But when a young girl is found dead, Lyssandra’s mission is derailed. In the gaping hole where the girl’s heart once was, lies a single red rose. Lyssandra has seen the signature before, left by the vampire who took her uncle’s life.

Karpov is one of the ancients, and his death is the only one Lyssandra wants more than Asher’s. Unfortunately, Karpov is also the only being—dead or undead—who holds the key to Asher’s whereabouts. If Lyssandra ever wants to find him, she’ll have to work with her uncle’s murderer.

Asher’s death could finally bring her peace, but can she accept it when it means leaving her uncle’s killer alive? Or will she fall into his waiting arms, unable to fight the pull of the master and servant bond . . .

Find out in Reign of Night, an epic paranormal dark fantasy packed full of murder and intrigue, with a slow burn, steamy enemies to lovers romance.

I have to confess I read the book and loved it so much that when I saw there was an audiobook available I had to listen too. I think this version is even better! Giving voice to Lyss Kim Bretton is perfectly on point. Dry, damaged and secretive she sounds just like Lyssandra did in my head!
The story is a near perfect epic fantasy and I don't want to give anything away other than to say the characters are well written and the story moves at a great pace with lots of excitement and epic moments.
Kim Bretton made each character different and defined - I particularly liked Karpov!
Can't wait to hear the next one now.

Great book made even better by skilled narrator.

I enjoyed listening to this book and am excited to read the next one in the series! Definitely recommend 😃

Good first book in series

I came to really like Lyssandra and her circle of friend hunters. She is tasked with teaching a new hunter the ropes and they seem to get into a lot of scrapes with vampires. She gets pulled into helping another master vampire hunt another vampire and while she’s doing this, her friend hunters find out her secret. I like the fact that this book had two parts and it was almost like reading two different books together and one. It made it quite long, but it was still good. In part two,Lyssandra and her apprentice Hunter are sent to another city to figure out the vampire murders that have been happening there. Unfortunately, they end up solving a murder by something other than vampires. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series.

Good

Great story with mystery and just the right amount of romance thrown in. Interesting characters. The narrator has a unique voice. It took a chapter or two to get used to her tone and fluctuations. But once I did I really enjoyed her voices and the depth she brought to the characters. Looking forward to next book.

Easy listening.

Very Good!

This is a new gold standard series for me. Heavy on the plot with just the right amount of romance. Castlevania meets Van Helsing meets Witcher vibes. The FMC and MMC are both excellently written, and the series avoid annoying tropes. Plenty of twists. Each book is fantastic in its own right. The narrator is 10/10- her accents and inflections for each character elevated the whole series. I’ll seek out more from both the author and narrator.

Phenomenal first book of series
