About this listen
In this sexy paranormal romance, Riley Jenson - she of vampire blood and werewolf instinct - is on the hunt for evildoers. As alluring as she is deadly, Riley sets her sights on two imposing serial killers. But when the immortal Quinn joins the hunt, all bets (and possibly Riley's clothes) are most certainly off.

Cat shifter Bree Dwyer doesn't fear much. Ironically, what she fears most is the person who was put on the Earth just for her. Your true mate wasn't supposed to be cruel and twisted; wasn't supposed to be someone who'd never love or want to claim you. The rumors that her true mate is dead bring her only relief. Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

Elena Michaels is the world’s only female werewolf. And she’s tired of it. Tired of a life spent hiding and protecting, a life where her most important job is hunting down rogue werewolves. Tired of a world that not only accepts the worst in her–her temper, her violence—but requires it. Worst of all, she realizes she’s growing content with that life, with being that person.

Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

Loved it!
Despite the fact that there is a different narrator for this single book it didn't distract! I enjoyed it as much as the others. I loved the story!

Seems like it went on & on....
I didn't mind the narrator, however I will say I'm not a fan of changing narrators in a series. I'd prefer they use the same narrator for an entire series! The story itself seemed to drag on compared to the previous ones. I don't know if that's because the narrator changed or if it was the actual story, I almost stopped listening but decided to push through in hopes the next book picks back up! (I'll let you know).

Horrible narration, WHY???
I love this series and as with other authors/characters, you get a feel, for said characters after listening to them with the voices provided by the narrator. It can make or break an audiobook IMHO. This is book 6 so why on earth introduce a totally different narrator now? She is soooo dry and boring that it ruined the story line. The only reason i come back and listen again is this is the point Riley and Quinn get together again on a serious note.

I love this book!
Keri Arthur fills this story with the COOLEST supernatural beings and the dialog made me feel like I was really in the world they live in. The narrator has an Australian accent which is perfect as the story takes place there. Its a mystery, a romance and a fantasy with rich characters and an entertaining plot. There's some steamy scenes but not so many it detracts from the story. The heroine is a werewolf so it would be pretty "Twilight-ty" (bland) if there wasn't some sex! I would highly recommend this book and feel it was well worth the money and time.

Bad narrator :(
Its too bad the same narrator wasn't used in The Darkest Kiss that was used in The Full Moon Rising. This narrator was boring and monotone. Story line was ok, but not nearly as good as the Full Moon.
