Summary

Finn

Stumbling into a crime scene is pretty typical for me. As a human, joining the VRC has done everything but keep me out of trouble. And now I seem to be playing a part that I’d really rather not play…if I want to keep my head, that is.

By my side is my partner Marcus, a vampire who has vowed to tear the world apart—and even a mattress—to keep me safe. I want to do everything I can to protect my newfound family, no matter what we’re forced to face.

Marcus

When ghosts from my past step right into my path, I want to look the other way. I’d rather enjoy my life with Finn, figure out a way to make my brother less obnoxiously gaudy, and find out how to never go roller skating ever again.

Finn is the bravest person I’ve ever met, but he’s also a human and we’re working against some of the strongest vampires in existence. I’m left doing what I can to shield those dearest to me while trying to keep the past from consuming the present.

I can’t let the same mistakes happen again. 

How to Defy a Vampire contains peculiar festive wear, misguided attempts at welcoming a human, and Marcus terrifying everyone as usual.

Excellent

As usual the narrator gives a performance that enhances the story rather than distracting the listener.
I laughed so much

Alice Winters is a firm favourite with me

This book made me giggle and laugh out loud on so many occasions.
The story was brilliant (as per usual) - well thought out. Michael Ferraiuolo, one of my favourite narrator's, brought the characters to life and made this Audible book extremely enjoyable to listen to. I absolutely loved it and will be listening to it repeatedly (in consecutive order to fully emerse myself in the storyline.

Another Hit for one of my favourite Authers, and even better that it's also my favourite narrator

Her best series

I love Michael Ferioulo's (I honestly don't know how to spell his name) voice acting. To me, it's voice acting, not just narration.
I love Alice Winters books and the VRC series is absolutely my favourite. I love the characters, the setting, the world building and the characters histories (especially Finn and Alexei) are well written and realized too. I really hope there is at least one more book in this series as the story is clearly not over yet.
