Walk on the Dark Side…

After centuries of denying his true nature, Vampire Michael Ward has surrendered to his darkest impulses. Once a man driven by peace, he now prowls the Santa Cruz Boardwalk -- a ravenous predator consumed by feral rage and an insatiable lust for blood. His victims are left mutilated, their bodies twisted into grotesque displays that are turning the boardwalk into a gallery of horror.

Determined to join the ranks of legendary slayers, Cade Colter joins forces with famed vampire hunter Father Vincent Scarlotti, who’s compelled by an obsession to eradicate evil wherever it lurks. Together, they descend into the city’s criminal underbelly where every vice is catered, every virtue auctioned, and every soul is for sale.

Deep in the labyrinths of depravity, prostitution, and decay, they follow the string of ravaged bodies that mark Michael’s murderous path -- and with each grisly new discovery, Cade begins to understand that to defeat this monster, he may have to become one himself.

No, it’s just Brooks and Cade Colter, but they sure as heck feel a lot like Sam and dean. That’s not a bad thing either you have to draw parallels when you see things that are similar but it’s just the hunting aspect that makes it close. Otherwise they’re very different characters.

This book is part of a series that I have not heard of or seen before, but it is a standalone book unto itself. That means you can enjoy this without having a clue about what else is going on or has come before. Which is exactly where I was at when I got this book.

Unfortunately, I had never heard of Alistair cross or his vampire series.
The irony of a writer of vampire stories having the last name of cross has not escaped me. And I am sure this is a pen name, but I gotta say it’s kind of sly.

The book itself is definitely a lot more than just a supernatural spin. Not that I wouldn’t be up a new replacement for the supernatural TV show. And while technically, this could work, I think this is a beeeast far and away until it’s self that doesn’t need comparisons.

The narration is outstanding I really like Jameson Walker’s portrayal of the characters and his ability to differentiate them in my mind as he spoke was very very well done.

I am now definitely very interested in the other books in the series and anything that comes afterwards from this point forward. This is a great starting point since it is a standalone and you don’t have to know anything about what has come before, but I guarantee you once you’re done reading this, you will want to know more.

Sam and Dean are back?

Completely fell in love with the whole series of The Vampires of Crimson Cove by Alistair Cross, and the fourth book, The Midnight Ripper, is awesomely fangtastic! The narrator, Jamison Walker, did a brilliant job! 👏 He brought Alistair's characters to life with his alluring and addictive voice. I enjoyed the audiobooks so much that I purchased the paperbacks to add to my collection of talented authors.
If you love Vampires, ghosts, mystery, suspense, horror, and great storytelling, check out the entire series. You won't be disappointed. BRAVO!

Fangtastic! ❣️

Absolutely loved it. Not quite what I was expecting but a very enjoyable surprise.
Tracking a vampire serial killer and the tale takes you into a world we don't think exists. But while listening you believe it does.
A great storyline well executed and with superb narration combines to
make superb entertainment.

This was a gifted audio to me. I didn’t realise it was part of a series but 100% could be read as a stand alone I believe.
The audio I actually enjoyed but the storyline didn’t hit home for me. I did get through the story but it was a push.

Not for me
