V Games

The Vampire Games, Book 1

By: Caroline Peckham

Narrated by: Hannah Cooper-Dean

Being a killer wasn't what 18-year-old Selena Grey ever expected she'd become. But with her stepfather's blood fresh on her hands, she finds herself walking into an eight by six prison cell where she'll live out the next 25 years of her life.

Or so she thought....

When a man as beautiful as he is terrifying walks into the prison, Selena is the only one seemingly unaffected by his charms. But Varick's impossibly dark eyes are trained on her and her alone, frightening Selena of what his presence forewarns. It's not long before she finds out as she wakes on a ship in the dead of night, a captive of the forbidding Varick, who seems more beast than man.

But when she arrives at a barren and isolated island in the stormy North Sea, she soon realises that the obnoxious Varick may be her only hope of survival. Because, in a place where polar night reigns for the next six months, a powerful and cruel family are about to start this year's season of the V Games. And Selena is marked to participate in the blood sport, hunted by ravenous vampires and surviving the harsh terrain of the bleak island. And, not only that, but Selena just became the highest bid on contestant in a century....

Well written

I enjoyed this book very much and hope that soon the rest of the series will be available on audio.
FYI there is obviously a cliffhanger because it is a series and if you can’t wait for it to come out you’ll have to buy the paperback or kindle version.
I loved the world that I was immersed in. The characters are wonderfully flawed and some very redeemable. Can’t wait to find out what happens next!

amazing

I loved this book.. this was the first book I read from these authors and I'm so glad I did because all of their books are AMAZING..

Hannah Cooper- Dean.

This narrator brought this story to LIFE and kept me completely enamoured with the story. it would NOT be the same without her. The only critique would be that sometimes her tone switched in a scene, making it a bit obvious it was recorded in segments. Still, awesome job, and I hope she's continuing to narrate the entire series.

Fantastic!

This book was nothing short of amazing. It had unexpected twists at every turn and left my heart wrenching. That's a good thing. I find it challenging to come by a great vampire story that isn't cheesey and predictable. The actual storyline exceeded my expectations, and the narrator did a wonderful job. The ending irritated me at first, but only because I didn't know there are sequels! Kindle will now be my bff to further the series as there aren't additional audiobooks from this author. Highly recommend this if you can deal with dark and difficult scenarios.

Couldn’t stop listening to it!

This was such an action packed, addictive story. Tbh I’m so mad I didn’t discover this book when it came out so I could have enjoyed it sooner.
The pacing was excellent, even the calmer moments were still interesting and preparing the reader for more action to come.
The romance between our two characters was really enjoyable and I loved the reluctant allies to lovers vibe!
The narration was wonderfully done and kept my attention the entire time!
I wish I could dive into the rest of the story!

in love

loved this book far more than I thought I would. definitely will be reading the series now.

Great story telling!

Loved this story. Of course I wish it had wrapped up at the end Selena and Varick’s story. Also- not hot peppers here. There is no spice at all (for those used to other books by this author).

A really good vampire book so far.

It was a decent story some parts fell a little eh for me so I am not super excited about it but really am hoping it gets better but overall its a good okay type vampire series. The narrator was great.

kept me interested

this was my first experience with an audiobook and it kept my interest while I was crafting. I didnt realize that there would be one person narrating the whole book but she did a good job capturing the Male voice. The tone of the female character would have been a little different if I had read it myself but I'm guessing that is just the nature of reading aloud. I probably wont read the second book because the story line seems like it's going to drag on forever but overall would recommend. lots of gore.

Must have more!

This book was amazing from the writing to the narration. I loved simply everything about it! I just wish the rest of the series was available in audio
