Publisher's summary

After his disownment, Matheus finds himself more confused than ever. He lashes out, losing Quin, the one constant presence in his new life. Alone, penniless, and clueless, Matheus is forced to carve out a new (un)life, amid the chaos of a hidden war. Friends and enemies, old and new, appear with secrets, betrayals, and a surprising revelations.

Matheus will need all the help he can get, because he isn’t the only making new alliances. His father, insane and desperate, joins with Appollonia Parker, one of the creatures he’d sworn to annihilate. Appollonia doesn’t take being crossed lightly, and she sets out to exterminate Matheus and his newfound family.

Matheus must risk it all to protect his loved ones, and save Quin, one way or another...

You did it again!

Any additional comments?

I just wanted somebody to slap the crap out of Mathis over and over many times but you manage to have him (and the followers) slap himself properly and man up. You added such wonderful humor to this book, Joan has become one my favorite side characters, and Freddy showing up made me shiva' with anticipation, and the cliff hanger at the end only makes for anticipation of the next more delicious. I like the way you are handling the gay sex too...not too much, but just enough. James, narration was superb again. Listener, I say get it if you liked the first one, and get ready to giggle and at times hang on to the edge of your seat...this series has to be heard in order. It is definitely not a stand alone by book series. Worth it if you like something different about vampires.

Fun Fun Fun

This series is a lot of fun. Matheus is a funny character, a new vampire trying to figure this all out. Instead he keeps getting captured or in other trouble. Oh and he's also trying to take down his father who captures and tortures Vamps. Separated from Quinn, it's not as easy as he thought. The dialogue is funny, and James Patrick Cronin's delivery is so great, he really captures all the wit and sarcasm of this character. His portrayal of the other characters is very entertaining as well. If you like Vampire stories, and some comedy, this is for you.

Compelling characters, comedy & drama

The narration and inner monologue of our main character is funny and fascinating. All of the characters are uniquely written and the reader does a good job of distinguishing them with his voice and cadence.

There is an element of mistery to the characters that holds you as much as the main story. I want to learn more about the characters and see where the story takes them.

James Patrick Cronin is fabulous as the narrator!

Story line is great but the narrator makes it shine!
Keep 'me coming Ms. Fecteau and Mr. Cronin! Hope it won't be 1 year. *winks*

Good follow up to first book

I love these books, I've listen to them twice now and will keep them in my to be listened to list. Vampires that are snarky, funny and the things that go bump in the night.

This sequel highly exceeds the original book

Pacing is goodand there is a plot. There are a great number of ancillary characters and supporting characters which give the story much more width in filling out the world the main characters are living in. I don't like intimate sex because in reading M/M books because it gets to be boring with constant repetition. In this book the sex takes place out of view of the reader for which I was extremely grateful. If you like werewolves, succubi, and above all vampires this is great series.
