The Days Fly

The Firsts, Book 11

De: C.L. Quinn

Narrado por: Pyper Down

You'd think that remaining young and beautiful forever would be wonderful, wouldn't you? For Sarah, it really wasn't. She'd been blood-bonded for nearly 100 years to a powerful vampire, where taking small sips of his blood daily kept his blood-bonds healthy and young. While she was like family to him, there comes a time in a human beings life when just existing isn't enough. There needed to be purpose and achievement and something to strive for. Sarah carried Robert Browning with her, the phrase "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?" She needed to reach...for what, she didn't know, but it was time to be fully human again. Life...with an expiration date...as it was always meant to be...

Destiny had her own plans, and while Sarah made plans to return to her normal human life, leaving supernatural concerns behind, somewhere in a darkened cave, a dying man discovers that the universe is much more powerful than the needs and hopes of humans or vampires. Destiny sends him to Sarah, and all that she can hope for now is that the powers of the universe be kind....

The heroine: Sarah - she was a blood bond to Xavier for over a hundred years. When a human is a blood bond, she drinks a small amount of vampire blood daily which keeps her young. She was a good friend to Xavier but wasn’t his mate, her blood bond was generational, her parents were also bonded to him. She recently became a doctor and was the one who discovered the scroll that held the instructions on finding the cure to the virus that was lethal to vampires. Sarah decided to leave Xavier’s service and she moved to Boston. She is noticing that her body has converted back to a normal human.

The Hero: Mies - deep in the frozen underground caves in Siberia, Nikolai was excavating his discovery of a vampire burial place when one of the first blood amulets started to glow. He fell deeper into the cave and hurt his leg. He was able to crawl to the amulet where it brightened even more. He put the amulet around his neck and collapsed. Mies was one of the first of his kind and he lived a long life, six thousand years ago, and was ready for eternal rest. Though the powers that be have decided that he is not finished. As Nikolai dies, Mies lives again in his body with their combined life-force. The two consciousnesses are together in one body.

The Story: Mies/Nikolai aren’t too happy being stuck together in one body, even if it is a very nice one. So they decide to travel to see a friend of Nik’s who might be able to help them somehow. They travel to see Sarah. This was another surprising book in this series. There have been some very original plots and conflicts in this series and I really have loved all the characters. Mies, Nikolai and Sarah have been some of my favorites.

One thing I can’t get over when it happens in vampire stories, is when people get a chance to become vampire and still hold off. Especially in stories like this one where they aren’t dead and they don’t lose their soul and stuff like that when they become vampire. I would definitely drink blood if I didn’t have to kill anyone and if I could stay young, be nearly indestructible, never get sick and have the ability to eat whatever I wanted and always have a toned body.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view and was narrated in solo narration by Pyper Down. I usually hate solo narration, but I like her voice and she is great with different voices and is able to do so many accents so you can easily tell what character is speaking at any given time. I’m not in love with all of her accents, they sometimes make nice people sound to uppity. Even so, I have really been enjoying the audiobooks in this series. I can rarely binge 12 books in a series one after the other, but I am having no problem with this one.

The Best Yet!!

I have loved this series from the start and when I look back on all of the plot twists and turns it is amazing to me how far reaching the author's thought process has been. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment in this very beguiling series

A very exciting book...

This is a very exciting book. I love how the author has thought out every detail to make this book so exciting. The First Bloods is a series about the very first true vampires. In this book, The Days Fly (book 14), we learn about the very first human to get pregnant by a vampire. This is a paranormal romance that teaches us the history of the vampires and about their ways.

I have read every book in this series so far and I loved every one of these books. I could read about the first blood forever and wish we as people could be just as loving, thoughtful and considerate of our fellow man as they do in these stories.

The author, C. L. Quinn does a fantastic job in this book as well as with the entire series. I love how she explains everything down to the minor details and has an explanation for everything. The imagination it takes for this series is just as impressive and the stories are so much fun! The narrator, Pyper Down delivers a perfectly flawless story to us once again complete with multiple voices, emotions and those accents are PERFECT! The narrator nails the voices every time and sounds so authentic. I love how the author keeps the same narrator for the entire series too. No matter when I meet a character in a book again and again in another book, the voices are always the same for the known characters. I love details like that!
