About this listen

They say monsters are made. I was born one.

With an angelic face and a cursed talent, I eat magic and ask for seconds. When I pass through the land, flowers wither, earth scorches, and colors bleed out—all at the command of my father, the God of Ruin.

I escaped his prison, only to stumble upon a dangerous school ruled by five heirs. Girls fight to fall into their laps, even though they’re all hot mess assholes.

My name is Barbie, but the vampire prince calls me “Little Bob,” mistaking me for a boy. I roll with the punches and pose as a servant boy in the House of Vampires to hide from my father. I try my best to fly under the radar, but the Fates keep tossing me into the path of the cruel princes.

That’s how I bump into Killian, the dark, enigmatic, and most powerful heir. I want him, but he’s the forbidden fruit. He’s drawn to me too, like a moth to a flame.

When he doesn’t like the burn, he rips off my bodice to betray my secret in front of everyone and forces me to enter the cutthroat game of the Brides Selection.

Mystical Journey

Narrated by Victoria Mei, this audiobook delves into a world where gods are presumed dead. Bobbi, the daughter of the God of Ruin, seeks sanctuary at the perilous Bride Selection Academy disguised as a boy to evade the harsh Bride Trials. Little Bob, navigates a realm filled with magic, danger, and five intriguing prince heirs. Mei's narration skillfully brings out the gripping narrative, humor, and passion, pulling listeners into a captivating experience. While Mei's delivery captures the essence of the characters, I found some of the writing a bit inconsistent. Despite these concerns, Mei's performance and the engaging storyline make it a compelling listen, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next installment.

Incredible

This was really entertaining from start to finish, yes there were a few parts that might have been dragged out a touch but the overall flow and the characters ensured that my attention was held firmly from start to finish. In fact there were a few times that I stopped what I was doing just so I could fixate on the story which for me is the sign of a fantastically good book. Can’t wait for more

A promising start!

I haven’t read many books by Meg Xuemi X but I am really surprised by how much I was hooked! I loved the academy setting aswell as the enemies to lovers going on 🤭 trials are my soft spot in books especially after acotar so I ate that up!! 🔥 so excited for book 2 whenever that arrives to audible! My only criticism is the plot dragged at times but overall definitely worth a listen.

House of Vampires and Flame: Brides Selection, Book 1
By: Meg Xuemei X
Audiobook 🎧
Narrated by: Victoria Mei
Length: 7 hrs and 30 mins

A God called Ruin 'The Eater of Worlds' was severely wounded long ago by two other God's battling him. To sustain himself, he kept his daughter in a pit and devoured her magical power. When she ran out of that, he'd syphon off her life force, sucking her dry like a husk, until she could replenish! It caused her excruciating agony. Sy, who's the monster and protector inside of her, would swap to protect her.😢🥰

They escaped before he was able to regenerate fully.🙏🏼 He's sent out his Shrieker monsters to find and return her. After escaping again, she finds a portal and lands herself in the last immortal realm called Mist of Cinder. She decides she'll hide here.

She hides as a boy known as Little Bob. She's trouble for everyone, especially the realms Prince's, who are all drawn to her but are confused about why they're lusting after a boy. Lol Well, all except the Prince of Chaos, he seems to see through her disguise.👀

I really enjoyed this series opener. The new realm was a little confusing at first, but I soon got lost in the storytelling. The narrator captured and held my attention.👏 I'm sad the audiobooks aren't out yet for the other books. I'll continue the series once they are, as I really did enjoy this one!⭐️

Good humour

This is a good book with lots going on. There is a lot of characters from several different clans that I did lose count of! It doesn’t take away from the main storyline though. A fantastic performance.
