Book one of the sci-fi vampire saga Pact Arcanum. Warning: contains strong language and non-explicit depictions of gay sexuality.
An unlikely savior emerges to prevent the advent of mass destruction and genocide descending on the world....
By day
Los Angeles, 2040. When the terrorist known as Medusa threatens to kill millions with a stolen nuclear bomb, Nick Jameson makes a fateful decision. He reveals himself on global television as a Daywalker - a vampire with a soul. To save Los Angeles, Nick exposes not only his own gifts but three separate cultures based on millennia-old magic.
By night
The three metahuman races exist in careful balance, working to maintain a fragile peace. Nick and his fellow Daywalkers successfully master their natural bloodlust. The Sentinels, armed with both magic and steel, repress their warlike instincts. And even some Nightwalkers, normally their natural enemies, have deserted the Court of Shadows to join the triple alliance. Nick Jameson is deeply involved with two such Nightwalkers - handsome Lorcan and powerful Rory. Both men love Nick. But neither can protect the new Ambassador to Humanity from the events he has set in motion.
By the sword
Jeremy Harkness was lured into Medusa's service under false pretenses. A loner with no one and nothing to cling to, he was willing to die for his cause. But the night Medusa tried to obliterate Los Angeles, Jeremy met Nick Jameson, triggering the onset of his own psychic gifts. For Jeremy is the third race of metahuman, a Sentinel, born to kill the Nightwalkers with no quarter asked or offered. And neither Medusa nor the Court of Shadows will settle for peace when they can make war.
Betrayal and treachery lurk around every corner on the road to coexistence, and at every turn, Nick must question who to trust among his metahuman allies, friends, and lovers - before their civilization is plunged into the depths of darkness and bloodshed. With millennia-old magic, emerging romance, and ever-shifting allegiances, this inventive series unveils a scintillating, homoerotic world of Nightwalkers, Daywalkers, Sentinels, and humans, who battle for world dominance in the not-too-distant future.

As I mentioned, narration was fab, and the story overall had good potential. Don't think I'll be continuing this series.
Great narration

To truely understand events and charachter behaviour in this book I recommend to read the second book: Sunrise, BEFORE you read this book. In it are the story from where it basically all began for all the MC of Sunset and there are so much mentioned about stuff from Sunrise in Sunset that arnt even attempted to get explained to the reader/listener. After I finiched this book I got Sunrise on kindle and it made me finaly understand ever weird thing in the audiobook when I re-listened and it made me actually like it so much more.
It is ofcourse possible to just listen to it, but be ready to get confused and get left with a lot if unanswered questions.
Gred Tremblay did a awesome job keeping track of all the voices and acents and made this book even more entertaining.
Read the second book first!

Not going to say save your money, but the sure is not Science fiction and other than vampires barely counts as fantasy. Should have been log as Romance.
Bought thinking it was SciFi, got vampire erotica

First off, we have a ton of head hopping going on. Next, there is a lot of telling via dialogue rather than taking time to show what the hell sentinels are and why Jeremy would suddenly unlock all his knowledge and be a total jerk because of it.
After the long, looong, looooooong scene involving the bomb and bomb aftermath, time jumps that made NO SENSE happened. First there was a 2 hour jump forward. A itty-bitty scene with a bunch of people we don't know being upset. Then a 3 hour jump into the past to go back over the exact same scene that started the book from the points of view of the upset people.
I don't know if the author was trying to write a movie or what. It did NOT translate to a book. The book was going nowhere except circles. Don't waste your money or credits. There are far better audiobooks out there.
As for narration, Tremblay's voice was moderated, showing little emotion or value. It sounded like an automaton was narrating instead of a person.
Nice try. Bad execution
