British narrator for a Texan main character???

I rarely write reviews, even if I don’t like a book. I often will read and listen to the same book. I started reading this and actually found the story engaging. I figured I’d buy the audible version for my commute. Holy heck, it’s terrible. The narrator is not bad but it’s absurd that the production company thought they should have a British narrator read as an ex Green Beret from Texas. Did they not care at all? Also, it sounds like this was recorded in a port-a-potty with a flip phone from 2002. It annoys me that a perfectly good book was ruined because the powers that be didn’t care. It’s a shame.

Read only if you dare

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book had me hooked from the very first page! If you love creepy, edge-of-your-seat stories, this one delivers big time. The atmosphere is chilling, the suspense is nonstop, and the vampire lore feels fresh while still keeping that classic, eerie vibe.The characters are what really made me fall in love with this book. Every single one of them feels alive, layered, and memorable. The main character, Michael, completely stole the show for me—brave, complex, and someone you root for even when the odds seem impossible. Watching him navigate the terrifying world of shadows and bloodsuckers made the story impossible to put down.

It’s spooky in the best way, giving you goosebumps while still pulling you deeper into the story. I finished it wanting more, and I can’t stop thinking about it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a thrilling vampire read that’s equal parts scary and unforgettable! 🦇
