About this listen
Seeking a paranormal world amongst the living? Prefer life as you listen to it in dark novels where unexplained deaths and disappearances invariably transpire in the old city of New Orleans? Longing to meet a vampire? Wanna walk in the Quarter with another misfit, yet charming gothic girl? Hoping for intelligent bantering, endless romance, and a bit of spooky voodoo stirred into this tale?
Drawn to the city of New Orleans, Sybella Rose seeks answers hidden in mausoleums of lore, and she soon discovers that history and mystery walk together in this world filled with more dead than the living. As this recipe for love and power is revealed, Sybella Rose tastes a bit of rebellion, befriends a lonely ghost, and drowns deliciously in the essence of a certain vampire before finally succumbing to her inevitable end.

It's not going great. I've been shoved into a corset and made to look like an extra on the cast of Bridgerton, all to take part in the Harvest Games....

Four months of wallowing in embarrassed depression should be enough. I’m beginning to realize that no one is who they seem to be, and my life story might be spinning out of my control. It’s time to take a shower, put on a bra, and wear something other than sweatpants. Difficult, but doable. With my friends - real and imaginary - by my side, I need to edit my life before the elusive darkness comes for all of us.

But I'll do anything to save my family, so I decide to act like the cheerful bookworm with the body of a goddess doesn't affect me in the least.

Story
They called me an amplifier. And they had bred me, raised me, and trained me to be a killer with preternatural precision. I was capable of taking, holding, and transferring power that wasn’t my own with a simple touch. Skin-to-skin contact. Along with four others of my generation, I could infiltrate any magical organization, extracting whoever or whatever I’d been ordered to extricate. Then I could destroy all evidence of our passing presence. They had made me. They directed me. Controlled me. Then they tried to kill me.

Vampyres don't exist. They absolutely do not exist. At least I didn't think they did 'til I tried to quit smoking and ended up Undead. Who in the hell did I screw over in a former life that my getting healthy equates with dead? Now I'm a Vampyre. Yes, we exist whether we want to or not. However, I have to admit, the perks aren't bad. My girls no longer jiggle, my ass is higher than a kite, and the latest Prada keeps finding its way to my wardrobe.

Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

Paranormally Enchanting
I absolutely love stories set in New Orleans and this one was amazing! Victoria does an amazing job with describing the atmosphere and setting to where you can actually picture being there. This book is filled with ghosts, voodoo, vampires, magic, and yummy food! I really liked Sybella, Josephine, and Marie because they were relatable and written well. I wish that this wasn’t a standalone book, but I’m definitely going to check out more of Victoria Clapton’s work!
Teresa does a really good job narrating this book! I loved that she could bring the characters and story to life with her performance. She had different voices for each character and they were done very well. I feel like the pauses between chapters were unnecessarily long though.

Vampires, Witches and Voodoo
Victoria Clapton painted an alluring tale with her vivid imagery and details. I have always been intrigued by New Orleans, and found it to be the perfect setting of The Binding. I was drawn to the character of Sybella Rose, her cat Marie, and Demien. The storyline was original, had plenty of steam, some endearing characters, and great details. I loved the historical details that were injected into the story that gave it authenticity. Teresa Booth impressed me with her performance. She brought the characters to life with her distinguishable voices. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Horrific accents
I can deal with the little kid sounding narrator. Her accents are so bad I want to fast forward through those parts. That’d be half the book though.
It’s the same sort of plot you think it is.

Needs work
I had a hard time with the narrator. She has a fine normal reading voice and voice for the main character but her other character accents leave a little to be desired. At times it sounded like she was trying to talk through marbles or gravel? Again, her normal reading voice was fine and I would have honestly preferred the book in the normal voice in its entirety.
Also the book reads more like a tedious travel guide to New Orleans than a novel. Which I'm sure some people will like, unfortunately the novel parts of the book read like any other vampire book out there. There wasn't anything terribly new or interesting to keep me going and most of the progressions of plot were predictable. The character seemed to know too much about what she was getting into and wasn't challenged by the plot or other characters to make her growth palpable.
My favorite characters were JoJo and Al and I would much prefer a story about them. I admire this author's ambition but I think she needs to figure out how to make her characters and plots a little more unique instead of obviously copying from the dozens of other excessively overdone tales of normal girls finding themselves the center of some vampires attention for obscure reasons or because she looks like someone else.

I really enjoyed the story, just had a difficult time not laughing at the attempt at the males voices with the accents. Took me out of the story every time. But I did enjoy everything else about it.

Thw Binding
Sybella Rose has always had a odd connection to things. But with not much money left after moving to the big easy to live a dream, she finds work in a great little gris gris store under her apt. But she soon meets a dark figure, Deamian, Who she figures out pretty fast is a vampire, a very rude vampire. Than she is plunged into the paranormal world that is New Orleans.
This is a awesome book it has action and a ton of suspense, but most of all flavor. Ms. Clapton has woven this book together into a wonderful pot of gumbo tasting goodness. I lived in NOLA for several years and this took me right back, I love the characters and their typical laissez les bon temps rouler attitude. The audio was pleasant enough and the different voices are interesting, but I surely can't wait to hear more.

It was a slow start but well worth the wait! This book took me to New Orleans. Makes me want to go visit just for the gumbo and maybe see a Vampire while I'm there! Loved the ending! So ready for the next book!
