Real Vampires Don't Sparkle

By: Amy Fecteau

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin

Matheus Taylor didn't ask to be murdered. To be fair, the percentage of people actually asking to be murdered is probably small enough to be safely ignored, but he felt it was worth stating regardless. His life might have been ordinary, but it was his life and he wasn't done with it yet.

Quin didn't care.

A 1,700-year-old Roman, Quintus Livius Saturnius had a different view of morality than most people. Killing Matheus and hijacking his undead existence seemed perfectly acceptable to him.

Now, Matheus spends his nights running for his life, questioning his sexual orientation, and defying a mysterious new threat to the vampires within his city. Not that he set out to do any defying; he just wanted to be left alone. Unfortunately, that was never going to happen.

Who doesn’t like a sassy vampire

Who doesn’t like a story about a sassy vampire working to protect his mate. The audio matches the book perfectly, and the ending makes you want to jump right into the next story. Quinn is prefect, and he wants to protect us his mate from the world so much but it doesn’t work out that way at all.

Very long but oh so good.

This was such a good book. I usually skip through books when they are this long but I stayed the course. This narrator, James Patrick Cronin is awesome. At first, I felt like Quinn's voice was a little creepy but once I got into it, I loved it. All the different accents were spot on. I loved the story line. And that dry humor is right up my alley. I cannot wait to read the next book.

I really loved this...it surprised me! Different!

Any additional comments?

I wasn't sure about it at first, but this has turned out to be a wonderfully unique take on them. And I am a major vamp lover. You have created some wonderful characters and they have come to life in away that I didn't expect at all. You've wound a good story too that personally, I didn't see coming. Matheus really gets on my nerves at times but he's supposed to and you've done a great job of it! James, you do make this story come alive and your narration is good. I'd butch up Quinn, but it's still very good. Listener, I personally think it's worth the listen...it takes a couple or three chapters to get "into it" but once you get hooked, well, let's just say I moved onto the second book, which I will review once finished, but I can tell you this...you'll have to get it too...start here, and then move to the next. Oh, and Amy, keep this series going as long as you can...I'll be there with you!

Surprisingly good!

Wasn't sure what to expect from this book as I don't often gravitate to the vampire genre., but i like sarcastic back and forth dialog so I decided to try it.
I'm glad I used the credit because I loved it so much I immediately got the 2nd audiobook.
The narrator was out of this world and made this book even better!

Finaly real vampires!

Any additional comments?

The titel kinda says it all, this is about real vampires that dont sparkle, they burn in the sun and dies at sunrise and sleep all day, they "dont fuck the food" as Quin puts it, its bloody and messy. I love the charachters in this book and the sarcasm is amazingly funny. What makes it better is that Matheus dont have a choise in being turned, Quin wants him and thats that!
One of the thing I really like with the story is that there isnt instant love between Matheus and Quin, it work itself slowly into there relationship and it feels more real and dosnt get in the way of the story.
James Patrick Cronin is perfect for this book, been looking for more m/m from him but so far only found this series. I wasnt sure about him at first, since this was my first go with him, but he pleasantly supprised me and now he got another fan!
