By: Theophilus Monroe

Narrated by: Kasey Logan

A stiletto heel through a vampire’s heart...

Who ever said you had to sacrifice fabulous for functional? Eventually I’d find her, the one who stole my abilities. Now I was stuck like this...in a human body...a male body...I was scared shiftless. I'm out for more than vengeance. I want my life back. But even if I catch her, even if I kill the vampire who ruined my life...can I even take my shapeshifting abilities back? Or, am I destined to stay like this forever?

Great story and good narration

Book has a great storyline. The narrator brought the characters to life and made the book enjoyable. Really enjoyed the book as a ebook and this audiobook made it even better. The characters really came out more to me through the audio book and I connected more.

Tightly woven & well-written, enjoyable listen

Scared Shiftless (The Legend of Nyx #1), my fifth read from author Theophilus Monroe, and my first in a new series. Well written & enjoyable read, very different from his Voodoo Legacy Series. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Kasey Logan's narration sets a different tone for this series & adds to the enjoyment of the book. I look forward to the next book in this series. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

want spunky bounty hunting, listen to Nyx!

A unique spin on the paranormal and elemental magic with bounty hunting spunk! The author links a storyline that delves in deeper to connection of belonging/self-love that many can relate to. The narrator does a pretty good job with the various voices, though there were mild shifts in quality from chapter to chapter. Interested in listening to the next book in Nyx series!

loved it

I enjoyed this story. Nyx was an interesting character & now I am hooked. Nyx is stuck in the last form she shifted to. She was going to feed on a vampire but he bit her instead, stealing her shifting abilities. Now she is a man who sings in a club by day and hunts vampires at night looking for the one who stole her abilities. A great read.

Scared Shiftless (The Legend of Nyx Book 1)

Nyx, a water elemental, has prowled the water for centuries, hunting, becoming what her prey found desirable. Then drew them underwater to their deaths and her sustenance. After she tried to catch a Vampire, she was bitten. Now because the Vampire got away and she could no longer shift form, she is trapped in the body of a man and has to live as a trans-woman to be true to herself.
She has learnt to eat human food, hold down a job and make friends with the humans she used to eat. In her spare time, she is a Vampire Hunter, on the hunt for Alice, the Vamp that has stolen her abilities. Once she finds her and eats her heart, the hunt would be complete, and she could go back to her life as an elemental in the river.
She teams up with Vamp Wolfgang, and Brucy, her sprite conscience to find Alice the Vampire who should have been Nyx’s meal.
The book has a good plot and some humorous parts. And the narrator did the characters justice.
However, this is an LGBTQ book. So If you are LGBTQ or LGBTQ friendly, this will be the book for you; otherwise, pick something else.
