About this listen

The smallest of creatures often carry the sharpest of stings. Lydia Chapman is just such a vampire. Her small stature hides a mighty wit, a razor-edged tongue, and an implacable protector of the only natural-born vampire in existence. Here is the back story of the snarkiest hero on Team Gordon/Demidova, told in her own words, just for fans of the Demon Accords. Go ahead and underestimate her ... it'll be fun.

could've been better

I found the progress made in the story interesting although I found the initial jumping between time zones disjointing and immersion breaking.

I was disappointed that the continuity of the names were not upheld, suddenly old characters were barely recognisable due to differences in pronunciation.

Back on track

You can't help but love Lydia and this is a great opportunity to find out more about her and how she came to be a vampire. Not only that though, this book continues the Demon Accords story really well as it goes between the past and the present. I am really looking forward to discovering which character Conroe focuses on next and where the story goes.

feels like a filler to meet a quota

Basically Lydia's backstory. But boring as hell ..hardly any action and the story line is droll.

Good continuity of the story

I really like the series, but the woman who performs this story has an awful, highpitched voice. And very non-versatile with it.
I had to turn the volume down, for her voice hurt my ears. Literally. This is a perfect example of how to ruin a story. I may consider to buy the e-book instead.

Wrong narrator

As a massive fan of the Demon Accords series this was a complete let down all because of the narrator......I've listened to the series 5 times so far and if I listen again I'll give this one a miss. Trying to work out who was talking due to different voices and persona's was the main thing that ruined it. Pronouncing Barbiel - Bar-Bile, Bar-BELL & and numerous other ways for one was driving me mad :) Should of stuck with James Patrick Cronin, even when doing the different genders he is ideal.
