Publisher's Summary

The greatest trick the First Vampire ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn’t exist.

If you enjoyed the Blade or Underworld movies, you will love the Shade of Devil series.

Before the now-infamous Count Dracula ever tasted his first drop of blood, Sorin Ambrogio owned the night. Humanity fearfully called him the Devil.

Cursed by the gods, Sorin spent centuries bathing Europe in oceans of blood with his best friends, Lucian and Nero, the world’s first Werewolf and Warlock - an unholy trinity if there ever was one. Until the three monsters grew weary of the carnage, choosing to leave it all behind and visit the brave New World across the ocean. As they befriended a Native American tribe, they quickly forgot that monsters can never escape their past.

But Dracula - Sorin’s spawn - was willing to do anything to erase Sorin’s name from the pages of history so that he could claim the title of the world’s first vampire all for himself. Dracula hunts him down and slaughters the natives, fatally wounding Sorin in the attack. Except a Shaman manages to secretly cast Sorin into a healing slumber.

For 500 years.

Until Sorin is awoken by a powerful Shaman in present-day New York City. In a world he doesn’t understand, Sorin wants only one thing - to kill Dracula and anyone else who stands in his path. When the descendant of an infamous vampire hunter steps into his life, Sorin is torn between conflicting feelings in his heart - revenge or love. But to a woman like Victoria Helsing, it might just be considered a bloody good date.

The streets of New York City will flow with rivers of blood, and the fate of the world rests in the hands of the Devil, Sorin Ambrogio.

Because this town isn’t big enough for the both of them.

Good, but not wow

Narrator Charles Lawrence gave a sensationally entertaining performance of this presumably dark paranormal romance. His performance was almost flawless. I loved his voice and the cadence of his reading. His ability to change his voice and capture the little tension assured an enjoyable experience. The plot has numerous characters and he was able to differentiate between them all.

As for the book itself, I did not find it dark at all, but rather filled with tension and drama. The author using well known characters like Dracula did not help at all. The main character’s name “Sorin Ambrogio” gave me impulses to murder someone, I guess that was the darkest feelings I experienced.

The plot, character personalities and overall world building was otherwise fresh and believable. When I overlooked the cheezy use of well known characters and their names, the story is quite remarkable and enjoyable. I will listen to another audiobook in this series, just to see what the author did with the storyline as I found it somewhat intriguing and thought provoking.

I recommend this audiobook if you have time to give something new a try.

Happy Listening
