Vampire, Interrupted

An Argeneau Novel, Book 9

By: Lynsay Sands

Narrated by: Victoria McGee

After 700 years of life, Marguerite Argeneau finally has a career. Well, the start of one, anyway. She's training to be a private investigator, and her first assignment is to find an immortal's mother. It seemed simple enough, until Marguerite wakes up one evening to find herself at the wrong end of a sword. Now she realizes she's in way over her head.

Julius Notte wants to protect Marguerite, and not because someone just tried to take her head off. She doesn't know it yet, but she's his lifemate and he's determined to woo her. It's been over 500 years since he last courted a woman, but surely the techniques haven't changed. Now if only he can keep her alive--so to speak--so they can have that happily-ever-after.

love the story, but not the narrator

I love the story. I have listened to it several times. But I am not fond of Victoria McGee's narrations. Her voice is a bit whispery, she lacks the ability to do accents that resemble the characters background, and everyone comes off a bit prim and overly English.

My only criticism of the story us that Lynsay needs someone to check her stories for consistency over the course of the series. Though the most glaring inconsistency in this book is that Julius tells Margorite about Christian's musical interests in one scene, and cannot even remember the style of music in a later scene.

However, the story is compelling enough to overcome the narration and inconsistencies.

Another one out of the park

loved these stories and after all the couples books I was glad to get this history lesson. I owe every one in paperback and now starting in audible. if that's not proof of what an awesome auth Lyndsey Sands is... that's your loss. But hopefully you will expand this series to your library!

Just as entertaining as others in the series.

What made the experience of listening to Vampire, Interrupted the most enjoyable?

It continues the story from the other books in the series. I have enjoyed the other books. It just continues the story, of the Argeneau family.

What did you like best about this story?

It flows and continues the story line of the series.

Which character – as performed by Victoria McGee – was your favorite?

Marguerite has been my favorite. She always knows who would fit together.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The twist that Marguerite was the person they were looking for.

Any additional comments?

I am ready to read the next books in the series.

very nice

very cool wrap up, I have read all the books, the one with the Margurite characters son Christian finding his life mate and just adored that story

Story--good...narrator--sucks!

If you could sum up Vampire, Interrupted in three words, what would they be?

good story

What was one of the most memorable moments of Vampire, Interrupted?

The train, the stairs...basically all the hot scenes. This story is more apealing b/c the characters, though immortal, are older and more mature. They find love after bad relationship choices from their youth and post kids. How many of us can relate to that? I'm glad Margarette found love -after the a#$hole she married previously. Gives some of us a bit of hope even if this is sci-fantasy. LoL

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The story is a good one but the narrator made listening to this painful. She sounds too breathy/monotoned and her attempts at doing various character voices made me want to throw my ipod across the room. She made the detective sidekick sound like a cave man instead of sexy. Her performance wasn't authentic and made it difficult to get lost in the story. I don't usually take the time to comment but I had to on this one. She should stick to kids books or something else. Overall, thumbs down.

If you could take any character from Vampire, Interrupted out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Julius...mature, moraled/integrity, protective yet respectful of his mate, Italian, alpha male, wealthy, intelligent...swoon. Enough said...

Any additional comments?

Great story but the narrator should be changed to one of the others she's used.

Absolutely Loved! Very funny and clever

This made me laugh, smile and cry. Very well written and love how all the little stories from other books make sense in this book, enjoyed this very much.

Great book

good story. loved the back story . the characters are real and interesting to hear about

Wonderful story

I loved the story many red herrings and twists and turns in the plot. It was fascinating how Julian was instantly a sexual force to Julianna’s body even when she didn’t “know him”. Also how Christian had figured out half of the story before being told.

my favorite of Lynsay Sands books! loved it!

It's amazing how Lynsay Sands brings several books all together in this one book. how pieces from several others neatly fit together once you read this. they all can be read separately of course but it's fun to see characters evolve and Margurite is my favorite character. I love paranormal romance books with a great sense of humor! . This one does not disappoint!

spoiler alert!!!!

Listen to this book before u listen to "under a vampire moon". U will be glad u waited.
