A Dark Vampire Curse

By: Nikki St. Crowe

Narrated by: Shane East, Samantha Brentmoor

A cursed vampire claims she’s the key he’s been searching for.

Emery would think Rhys Roman was insane if it wasn’t for this annoying ability she’s had her entire life: she can read minds. And oddly enough, she can’t read his.

Suddenly, Emery is ushered into a dark, deadly underworld of the city she loves where Rhys is reigning king. Or at least he is until the curse plaguing him and his vampires turns them all into feral bloodsuckers.

Time is running out. Rhys thinks only Emery can break the curse. She’d tell him to buzz off if every time he was near, her body didn’t turn electric with desire. Rhys has money, power, and a face to die for, but he only has eyes for Emery. The thrill of it is intoxicating, but what happens if she can’t help him?

Does he want Emery only to save himself? Or is it Emery that needs saving?

In A Dark Vampire Curse you can expect lots of should-I-shouldn't-I tension between the main characters and plenty of snark, sass and diehard loyalty between the members of this powerful vampire family. A Dark Vampire Curse is a full length novel with HEA for the main characters. Note there is a teaser epilogue for new series with cliff.

I want more!

I know this is a standalone but dang it I want more! Love Shane east when he narrates.

Pretty good

Interesting and unique storyline, fantastic narrators who brought characters to life, and just the right length.

Loved it!

Quick listen, done in 1 day. Story was good with a nice spice build. Interesting plot twist and ending.

Loved this book so much!

I loved the storyline it stayed exciting and also had an occasional giggle that creaped out!

Completely engrossing

Best thing I’ve ever enjoyed while ensuring the aftermath of a hurricane. If you’ve got to stay home and there’s really no good cell service, no WiFi and barely any power from the generator…listen to a great story!

OMFG

This was an amazing read. I felt the highs and lows of the moment. Spicy not not so much so I needed a shower, But Lordy Bee one Heck of a build up to that moment. Unlike some of the other books I have read by the author this one was the perfect length. Loved it.!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely love this book! amazing story. it's really hard to find a good vampire book. The narrators were amazing as well. highly recommend.

Entertaining duet narration

The story was good, but felt there could have been more depth to it. Hope if there is a sequel, the author spends more time developing the story & character relationships.

It was just eh with a side of meh

Have you ever listened/read a story where you thought….hmmm I’d like to have more of the characters inner thoughts? In this story…you’ll be left asking when the person is going to stfu and get on with the plot. Waaaayyyy to much inner dialogue and not enough plot. It’s super rushed and super short. In a couple of days he’s already willing to die for her.
It’s 90% her inner dialogue about repetitious stupid crap and descriptively how hot the dude is every five seconds.

And it ends on a cliffhanger.

Am I going to listen to any more that comes out for this series? Yes because I absolutely hate leaving things up in the air. Do I particularly enjoy this book? No. It doesn’t make me want to listen to it again.

However one that I did/do enjoy and have listened to multiple times is
The hot vampire next door series. This series so much better and I can’t wait for the next book!

A DISAPPOINTING VAMPIRE-LITE LISTEN

Every so often I delve back into the paranormal world for a vampire hit of dark, possessive and deliciously bad.. but unfortunately this book just didn’t deliver on the build, chemistry, heat, development or suspense that I was hoping for. I liked the snark but I didn’t feel any romance at all between Rhys and Emery and, although there was a mystery to it, I didn’t think the storyline had much depth either. Blink and you’ll miss the two sex scenes. As characters, Rhys was ok but Emery was fairly bland.. however, the secondary characters were more interesting. Great narration though.

Worth a credit? It’s enjoyable enough but I’m on the fence with this one.. hovering somewhere between it’s okay and pretty good. However, I may still try book 2 because I loved loved loved this author’s Vicious Lost Boys series.
