The Last Vampire: Book One

De: Jaelynn Woolf, R. A. Stefan

Narrado por: Gwendolyn Druyor

There’s a smokin’ hot dead guy locked in my garden shed. That part’s bad enough. But now, he’s trying to get out.

Growing up, my father always told me that I’d come to a bad end, just like my mom did when I was a kid. Hearing that kind of stuff when you’re little eventually gets to a girl, but I can’t say I ever expected my "bad end" to involve an angry vampire with a severe case of iron deficiency and a panty-melting English accent.

Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. Ever since my mother was assassinated, I’ve felt like there was something vast and frightening hidden beneath the fabric of the world - something none of us are supposed to know about.

So far, finding out I was right hasn’t been nearly as satisfying as I’d hoped. I guess the trick will be staying alive long enough to shout, "I told you so" from the rooftops.

But before I can do that, I really need to figure out if the vampire who just bit me is one of the good guys or not.

The Last Vampire is a steamy, new urban fantasy romance series from USA Today best-selling author R. A. Steffan and Jaelynn Woolf, co-authors of the Circle of Blood saga.

Download book one today, and enter a world shared by humans, fae, demons, and one very reluctant vampire. It’s a place where the supernatural threatens the mundane, nothing is as it seems, and love will either be the world’s downfall - or its salvation.

Exciting start to series

I received a free copy of the audio book in exchange for an honest review. I liked the story. It was exciting. It starts with the heroine being exposed to the supernatural world and takes off from there. As the story unfolds she learns things about herself. There are still a lot of mysteries to resolve. The book ends with a cliffhanger. I liked the H and h. I also liked the dynamic of them together. I look forward to seeing their relationship grow. The story is different and I liked that as well. I thought the narrator did a wonderful job. Her voice fit the heroine. Her male voices were great too. The timing and pacing was well done.

love it

I loved everything about this book i will be reading all of them in this SERIES

Unsure...

This book leaves room for potential fail or goodness for the rest of the series.. I will go on to book two in series to see how it goes. At this time the book is slow yet all over the place. It is possible that this book is all ground work.

A fantastic read!

What a lovely start to this series! So enjoyable and incredible.

Wonderfully written. Entertaining. Great story. Lovable characters.

Eagerly awaiting for more!

Perfect for paranormal/urban fantasy romances.

Lovely narration. Great voice for these characters.

not a bad start to a new series

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This book was pretty good. It has a decent balance between action/paranormal content and the romance/relationship stuff. The author provides good imagery and the characters are engaging. The story line is pretty good. There are a couple of twists to the plot thrown in. It didn't exactly keep me guessing, but it wasn't so predictable it was boring. The narration is ok. Her voice has a bit of whine to it, which I don't recall taking note of in the Circle of Blood series written and narrated by this same duo. It wasn't THAT bad, but I did take note of it. Anyway, I did enjoy this book and would be open to continuing the series.

An Interesting Twist to PNR

I received an Audible copy for an honest review via Audiobook Boom. What follows is my opinion and mine alone. There was no compensation for this review.The Last Vampire: Book One is the first in a trilogy about a 26 year old woman who is thrust into the paranormal world after a brief bitten encounter with a vampire. The last vampire in fact. Go fig.The story is what I consider a slow burn. Our love interest and MC just barely know each other in the events of the book. In fact, they are only with each other in three solid instances. That says something there. It makes me label this book more on the urban fantasy versus romance field.There is some sex going on near the last quarter of the book that I have read is more clinical than steamy. I personally found it to be both and I found the reason for that to be logical and interesting.The MC is a "girl with unknown power" and does do the enigma trope well but I feel she could get better as the books progress. If anything, I'm not ready to pass judgment on her completely even if the book ended.The writing is easy to get into and there were parts that were funny, as intended. I did find the book to be enjoyable and wouldn't mind reading book two. There were moments I was scratching my head trying to figure out where the authors were going and I was super stoked at who the baddies were. Honestly, these guys are hardly ever the baddies... THANK YOU!I did have an issue with the way it ended. It seemed to just end instead of having a climactic moment and solid resolution. That said, there is a second book and I do hope that book has a better ending in comparison.All in all, it was a fun romp and I could see myself continuing the series.Final Rating: 3/5

A Great Plot!

The authors did a really great job on this first book. I was hooked from the beginning on this one. I applaud the authors on their originality of the plot and various twists throughout. The characters are really likeable and I always enjoy a relatively strong female main character. Zorah and Ransley's sort of relationship is kind of a slow burn. There is a lot of world building and background information given in this book that is setting up for future books, thus it ends in a cliffhanger before we get our questions answered. I listened in one sitting and am intrigued to see where this story will go.

The narrator was a perfect fit for this book and I think she gave an outstanding performance. I liked that she gave an appropriate British accent to Ransley, but not so much that it dissected from the story. I think the narration took this book from good to great and I enjoyed the narrator's performance throughout.

Enjoyed It

I got this free story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. I enjoyed this story and would have enjoyed it better with a different narrator. Sometimes she sounded like a little girl having a temper tantrum, sometimes she just sounded whiny. Even during the chase. The many twists that this story took drew me into it and I enjoyed several of the scenes with her interaction with her father. Although as I said she came off as a complaining little girl. I loved the dinner details and the way the war was interwoven into the story at different times to show why he was the last vampire. Overall this is a good story. The narrator kept pushing me out of the story but the story overall drew me back in.

Not what I expected

The Last Vampire by RA Steffan and Jaelynn Woolf was a really fun listen. The storyline is original and has some unexpected twists. I found myself pulled in from the very beginning. The performance by Gwendolyn Druyor is spot on. She adds the right emotions and brings the characters to life with her voice. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

The narrator’s voice ruined it for me

The story seemed interesting, but the narrator’s constantly shaking/trembling voice got on my nerves. I couldn’t finish the story.
