Publisher's Summary

Drax. Colt. Finn.

The three vampire bad boys that have been terrorizing the night life of this city since they were old enough to know what a party was. On top of being insanely rich and handsomely supernatural there's one more thing that makes them untouchable - they're next in line to rule this city.

For the last hundred years humans have been at the bottom of the food chain since the rise of supernaturals, and in our city vampires rule the roost.

Divided into three different triads, each section of the city has a vampire governor who is fit to do as he pleases.

Drax, Colt, and Finn are next in line for those thrones.

To keep their subjects in line every five years they do a purge where every adult man is fair game for any vampire to feed on for 24 hours. To determine which triads need to participate in the purge and which one will be exempt, three people from each triad are summoned to partake in a sick and twisted game to survive. The winner gets to guarantee safety for their community.

The losers die.

For years I had kept my head down, followed every triad law, and focused on keeping my mother alive. But an announcement that women will now be included in the summoning turns my world upside down.

The first person to be summoned from triad three is me.

I came into this prepared to fight for my life, but what I didn't expect was the city's supernatural playboys' attraction to me.

In the Vampire Trials only one thing matters to me - getting home to my mom. And when I say I'd do anything to get there, I mean it.

But piece by piece the trials chip away at who I thought I was and what I thought I knew about supernaturals.

The worst part? I love it.

Great story Horrible narration

The story was well written and entertaining! This is the only reason I didn’t ask for a refund for the audible credit I used to get this. The narration was the worst I have ever heard. It was painful at times to sit through but I wanted to hear how the story would end. Whoever narrated this sounds like a 16 year old girl in her basement, the voice changes volumes and pitches at random times like when it was recorded they were trying to be quiet, - roomates? I don’t know, and the accents were horrible. The main character has no life in her dialogue it’s all one tone. Boring and monotone. This is the most dissatisfactory and frankly unprofessional sounding recording from audible I have ever heard. The story is great but the recording was horrid. I don’t know if I can continue listening to the story, will need to just buy a copy and read it myself. Don’t waste your time with the audible version

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
