The Fangs of Freelance [Dramatized Adaptation]

Fred, the Vampire Accountant, Book 4

By: Drew Hayes

Narrated by: full cast, Christopher Walker, Nora Achrati, Danny Gavigan, Nanette Savard, Bradley Smith, Alejandro Ruiz, Terence Aselford, Steve Wannall, Carolyn Kashner, Scott McCormick, Yasmin Tuazon

When Fred formed his own parahuman clan out of necessity, he understood that it was going to come with new responsibilities. Much as he hoped those tasks would center around extra paperwork and perhaps the occasional mandatory class, enough time around the supernatural has taught him to be ready for anything. Or so he thought.

As a freelance accountant for the Agency, Fred soon finds himself being tossed into new, unexpected, and perilous situations. From inventorying ghostly castles, to exploring unsettling amusement parks, to negotiating with dangerous mages, it seems there is no end to the uses for an accountant of Fred’s specialty. But dangerous as the new jobs are, the greatest threat may come from the past. An old enemy is making waves once more, an enemy who would go to great lengths to destroy Fred and everyone he loves. And this time, they've brought backup.

Performed by Christopher Walker, Nora Achrati, Danny Gavigan, Nanette Savard, Bradley Smith, Alejandro Ruiz, Terence Aselford, Steve Wannall, Carolyn Kashner, Scott McCormick, Yasmin Tuazon, Elizabeth Jernigan, Richard Rohan, Zeke Alton, Lydia Kraniotis, Eric Messner, Ken Jackson, Colleen Delany, Marni Penning, Chris Davenport, Michael John Casey, Chris Stinson, and David Zitney.

Good series

This third book did not disappoint. The graphic audio feature was great! Read/ listen to the series in order.

Love the series!

Can’t get enough of this series! The characters are so much fun! The narrators are great!

Great adaptation

If you've gotten to book 4, you know exactly what you're getting. The themes and characters are the same as previous books ''and that is not a bad thing.'' More than any particular story, I just enjoyed spending time with these characters again and getting to see where their lives were going.

Fun, but I'll stick with Kirby!

Since I still think the Fred books would make for a great TV show, I decided to give the Graphic Audio book a try. Overall, this was fun to listen to! The first section's music is so loud it's distracting but the rest of the time it was great. The cast has done a wonderful job bringing the story to life, and the transitions were so seamless that I didn't notice anything that was abridged.

I might recommend the Graphic Audio recordings to new listeners, but after hearing the fabulous Kirby Heyborne for seven books, I think I prefer him as the voice of Fred and company. I'll be sticking with his rendition in the future, but that's just personal preference!

Keeps you on your toes!

Love the Graphic Audio cast! I’m going through this series so fast! Maybe there will be a TV series or movies one day!!!

Good book. "Dramatized Adaptation" weak.

Now that Fred has his own clan and has volunteered to work for the Agency, his challenges have expanded.

The stories in this volume seem to be more logically connected and seem to arise more naturally out of Fred's life. We get good character development for Fred and several of the supporting cast and there are hints of Nefarious Plots™ brewing in the background.

The stakes in this volume seem low relative to other books in the series, but given the rather cozy nature of the series, this is less a problem than it might be in other series.

I read the Dramatized Adaptation of the book, because it was free on Audible+. The voices were different, but the variation detracted from the enjoyment of the series for me. With a single narrator, I build my own world while listening to the book. With multiple voices, part of that is taken away. I much prefer a single narrator.

Recommended, though better in the single-narrator version..

Great cast, interesting story.

Just one note: The background music is too obtrusive, poorly applied, and frankly, annoying as hell.

Another great story in the series!

Another great story in the series. The background music is a little distracting. Otherwise great performance!

Great narration!

Another really good entry. I think we had some of the biggest moments to date in the series. These moments give the series some direction for future books. I loved the full cast narration.
