How to Entice a Fiend

VRC: Vampire Related Crimes, Book 6

By: Alice Winters

Narrated by: Michael Ferraiuolo

Mads

As a member of the vampire council, being tasked with keeping an eye on a few people shouldn’t be too hard, right?

Wrong.

The moment I meet the VRC, I realize how very wrong I am. It’s fascinating how in a group filled with ancient beings, the only reasonable one is the human. Definitely not the grumpy vampire… or the other grumpy vampire… and don’t get me started on the eye-searing clothes the bubbly one wears.

And that’s when I run into Ender.

Well… run is probably the wrong word. It’s more like he accidentally saves my life, joins me for a fun torture fest from some guy who woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and then ends up fleeing through unknown territory with my naked body slung over his shoulder.

Is there a better meet-cute than all of that?

Probably not, as long as we ignore the real reason I’m here.

Ender

Keeping Rylee safe is the only thing I should care about. So then how is it that I find myself being pulled along by Mads, a member of the council that I’ve sworn to get rid of? He’s charismatic, charming, and really far too suspicious, but our paths merge as I fight to end an injustice that started hundreds of years ago.

Mads is making me realize that maybe there is more to my life than becoming a martyr for people who seem to think I’m the bad guy. While others see me as a monster, he sees who I really am.

And I will do anything to keep him from the danger he’s been drawn into.

The danger has never felt so real in this universe

This book brings so much for the vrc series that it blindsided me. The addition of a so called anti hero brings a new layer to the characters that we haven't had in this universe before. The villain in this book felt powerful and even with all the characters working together it is still a fight they might have casualties in. I look forward to future books of the series especially with the potential of danger all the characters are now in. It fills like the last few books keeps adding this tension of foreboding or danger that follows into the next book. The couple was slow burn and there banter had me laughing a ridiculous amount. The characters are powerful alone in there own ways but bring them together made something really special. The narrator really was good this book, even adding a voice I hadn't heard him use before in any of his past books. The storyline of this book is needed to make since of all the past villians plans and even motives. This book dives into the characters anger turds Ender but also his reasoning for his past actions which was really needed. I recommend this book and all the past in the series.

Another good One

Wekl worth the wait. Senor FLuffybottom stole the show. Great characters, great story, great narration

Really enjoyed this series …

I have a pretty short attention span and it is very difficult for me to listen to or read long series. But, this one was really good. It kept me engaged, entertained, and wanting to know what else would happen to all of the characters. I would say book 6 was my favorite but that is prob only bc it is the last one in the series. Great job!! Will definitely check out other books from this author.

How to Entice a Fiend

How to Entice a Fiend is wonderfully narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo, whose voice encompasses every nuance of Alice Winters’ characters.

The VRC, Vampire Related Crimes, series continues to add vampires, sweet, evil, and a heathy mix of both. There is little joy being a vampire, but when you finally find that special partner, you look at life, whether 2 years or 2000, with a new sense of urgency.

Love will make even the most despicable man want to be a being worthy of that unconditional love.

Good story. Good narration.

I appreciate having another addition to the VRC. There always seems to be another puzzle to solve in this universe. Enders and Mads have a relationship that is similar to Marcus and Finn's but their personalities and motivations are definitely different. As always, Michael Ferriauolo's narration is an entertaining edition to the book.
