Summary

I go by Rose. But don’t let the delicate name fool you. I’m all thorns...

The polished metal stakes strapped to my thighs have pierced the hearts of so many vampires I’ve lost count. And after five years, I still haven’t found him - the vamp with one blue eye and one brown. The one who slaughtered my mother and left me, a child, to sit screaming in a pool of her still-warm blood.

With any luck, he’ll come to me. You see, I’ve made something of a name for myself with my trade. It seems more and more of the bloodsucking bastards seek to find me every day. Each of them wanting to be the one to say they plucked the Black Rose.

It’s not until a group of three finds me that I think I’ve finally met my match. But these aren’t just any nameless, faceless vamps. I know them. Or, at least, I knew them, when they were still human.

Worst of all, I owe them a debt. But paying it means I’ll need to face my worst fear...that I may not be entirely human, either.

Compel Me is the start to a steamy new reverse harem vampire romance from best-selling author Elena Lawson.

Buy the audiobook today and immerse yourself in a world of supernatural romance, riveting adventure, and shocking twists and turns that will leave you listening until long past your bedtime. Perfect for fans of Vampire Diaries, Patricia Briggs, A Shade of Vampire, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Jeaniene Frost. 

Author's note: If you are offended by bad language, turned off by violence, or cringe at adult themes, then this series is not for you! If, however, you enjoy a main character who curses like a trucker, stabs first and asks questions later, and isn’t afraid to tell a man exactly what she wants from him, then you’ve found your next listen.

More, please!!

Compel Me, the first book in the Last Vocari series, is a cleverly composed reverse harem urban fantasy romance. The plot is complex and engaging with nonstop action and suspense. The cast is splendidly done, they are well-developed and intriguing. I was utterly enthralled.

Our heroine, Rose, is capable, feisty, resilient, and a canny fighter. She is on a personal mission to find the vampire who murdered her mother. The reverse harem component is tastefully done. The men in the story are HOT. Frost, Blake, and Ethan were her childhood friends; they are no longer boys, nor are they human.

Addison Barnes does a fantastic job with the narration. Her timing and inflexions are excellent, particularly during the intense scenes. Furthermore, she portrays the characters' personalities and moods very well. Overall, this book is fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ending is great, leaving you wanting more.

Not your average vampire story

This is a great twist on the vampire mythology with a kick ass female lead.
The guys have a great history together and enough mystery and intrigue to have you needing to read more.

Interesting and Entertaining

The book is really well written and narrated great too. It's pace is great, right from the start. I loved the guys and the steam (who doesn't love steam).
I'm excited to see where the next book goes. How rose grows as a character and well...more steam!

Liked it

Compel Me is an interesting and entertaining story. It’s fast paced with a good amount of action and steaminess. The author did wonderfully building up to the next book. My attention has been captured and I’m definitely curious to find out where the deal Rose makes will lead her and the guys. What will Rose find out about herself and her capabilities? Can’t wait to see what mysteries Provke Me will unravel. (3.5⭐️)

An enjoyable tale

A good easy flow story which is well narrated by Addison Barnes. The storyline isn't too complex, so doesn't take too much concentration to enjoy.

Compel Me

Rose is an interesting, brave and strong character. She’s on a mission of revenge and ridding the world of viscous vampires, and I’m doing so has made herself a wanted person. She can take care of herself but it’s nice to have a group of childhood friends she can count on, who also happen to be sizzling hot vampires. This book has a nice fast-paced storyline that can be enjoyed in one sitting but you will have to pick up the next book because the mysteries do not end in book one.
