Awakened Dawn

Blood and Darkness Series, Book 1

By: Aria Storm

Narrated by: Fleur Strange

Mavis was my name, and you could say I have had a bit of a tough go. Following a tremendous personal loss, I was entombed by my own daughter rather than allow me to expose our secret to the world.

I woke up in a mausoleum and two centuries have passed. All I want to do is drink a bit of blood and maybe find a beautiful modern maiden to entertain what's left of my soul. However, sinister forces are ever at play in my world. Even a queen who is two centuries usurped cannot rest. Vampyrs are dying and the royals, including my only surviving child, are all in danger, as are the communities around us.

Set in modern New Orleans, this is the tale of the Lower Queen, Mavis Aubrey, the mysterious vampyr who once led most of Britannia. Come follow Mavis as she struggles to learn how to function in the post-modern world and the vast array of new challenges rising to greet her.

Contains mature themes.

Love this series

Love the banter! This series takes you thru a spectrum of emotions! The steamy scenes are a bonus too. Can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out.

Surprised!

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It was very entertaining. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Hopefully they’ll put all 10 books on audible.

Vampires and Werewolves and ICE ELVES Oh My!

I was skeptical at first, but after giving this audiobook a try I've fallen in love and had to dust off the Kindle to read ahead. If you like magical worlds, demigoddesses, wide assortment of creatures and monsters, overly descriptive lesbian passion, you've found your next series!

Could’ve used better editing

Author repeated several things over and over again. It was kind of annoying. Overall story and premise is very interesting though.

So good

Fantastic world of vampires, werewolves, and all sorts of mystical creatures. Am starting book 2 as soon as it downloads!!
I thought the narration was spot on. Am chomping at the bit to start the next in series!!!
