The undead are another matter.
Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires, but when the bloodsucking mafioso she escaped three years ago finds her again with vengeance on his mind, she's forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection.
The undead senators won't help her for anything, and Cassie finds herself working with one of their most powerful members, a dangerously seductive master vampire - and the price he demands may be more than Cassie is willing to pay.

Just WOW!

Also, I don’t like this narrator. I guess she’s trying to make Cassie come across as sassy, but she’s just annoying. Although, her other voices are fine, so I should say that I don’t like Cassie’s voice, rather than the narrator.
Faint Praise

From a narration standpoint, Ms. Holloway is pretty good in the Chicagoland Vampires series, but she is very hit or miss in this book. Her accents for the European characters are bad, and Cassandra's voice goes from OK to what happened throughout the story. I think she does the best with Billy's voice, but that's not saying much in this case.
Overall, it's got some good hooks, and if you can get past M.s Holloway's performance, there's enough meat in the story for us to want book 2, it's just a shame that she didn't tell a complete story in this book.

Interesting story line.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The plot is chaotic, the world building done by explaining rather than showing. The writing has promise but falls short - I'm wondering if later books might be better, as she develops her craft.
The narrator doesn't know how to pronounce a wide variety of words, and adds emotions unevenly - for example, in a detailed torture scene she sounds amused and seductive (!).
The main character is annoying. She's on the run from a vampire mob boss, and gets a gun but doesn't bother to get competent with it. She makes bizarre choices that risk others. She can't control her temper despite growing up in a vampire court. She hides behind a vampire bodyguard who she constantly negs. She goes from helpless incompetent to all-powerful. She's so immature.
Chaotic, torture, racial and gender slurs, weird narration, sex shaming

The narrator does NOT match the witty, snarky, fast paced Cassie in the book. She talks like she's TRYING to be sultry and smooth and only comes off as unintelligent and her voice cadence throws off the whole plot and background of the story.
PLEASE, PLEASE REDO THIS AUDIOBOOK with a way better voice character.
This book is good, but so very hard to listen to and get into the character.
Just can't do the narration
