Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I wish that there was more than 5 books in the series!

Any additional comments?

This is the final book in the series and I have listened to each and everyone at least twice now. This is the first series I had listen to through audible and it made me fall in love with this site lol....This was a great series and extremely entertaining with a fantastic narrator that brought this series to life!

I admit when I first started this series I was unsure but it didn't take long before I got enthralled in Carriger's story of Alexia Tarabotti...and her life as a soulless. This was an original concept to me and a great way to change up the classic vampire/werewolf world.

I look for books that can take me out of my world and gives me a break from reality, and this series did that for me without question. I found myself craving this series! It was crazy great :)

Would you listen to One Grave at a Time again? Why?

I have, and I have listened to each of the other books in the series over as well

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wanted to listen to this whole series in one sitting! Can't wait till book 7 comes out

Any additional comments?

I am so glad I didn't start this series till the first 6 books were all ready available to listen to! This was the second series I had listen to once I joined audible and is still one of my top 5 series...I have even re-listened to each book because it is so well done and I find that I miss this world and the characters in it! The fact that Frost has started other series to tell the stories of all the characters in the Night Huntress Novels made me extremely pleased and excited. I can't get enough of Bones and Cat!

Anyone who is interested in vampire books, will be beyond satisfied with this series and will find that you can't even compare it to the "Twlight" vampire-type stories because it is far superior in all ways.

Any additional comments?

Blue-Blooded Vamp was the final book in the Sabina Kane novels and I enjoyed each and every book in the series! I have been trying to find another series in this genre that lives up to the Sabina Kane novels, and have not found it yet. I started this series after listening to The Night Huntress Novels, Night Huntress World and Night Price novels by Jeaniene Frost and it was a satisfying change. I was worried nothing could live up to those by Frost but was happily proven wrong. I was drawn into Sabina Kane's life and loved the characters Wells created to be along side Sabina through her adventures. I could not stop listening to this series and went from book to book till I finished all of them!

I really enjoyed watching the development of each character throughout the series and everything happened at a good pace. I didn't feel there was any real rushing or unnecessary prolonging of events, feelings, etc, that would normally drive me crazy!!!

The world she created was interesting and made sense. So there was no need to over think the "whys" or "hows" that can sometimes happen in the vampire, mage, werewolf stories. And she managed to do this without over explanation of this world that can become very tedious to listen to.

Well done Wells :)

What disappointed you about The Bawdy Bride?

I use to read romance novels all the time but for the past a couple months have been listening to steam punk novels. But I have missed a good romance novel so decided to try out The Bawdy Bride by Amanda Scott. This is the first book I have tried by her and was not impressed at all! In fact I found myself having no respect for Michael and even Anne. After 3 hrs of listening I couldn't take it anymore. I stopped listening after Michael took advantage and basically rapped one of his housemaids for the second time! I understand that it is realistic and happened during this time but when I read a romance this is not something I want the main male character to do! I feel like there is no way the author can raise Michael's standing in my eyes. Anne was also a disappointment to me. She was continuously described as obedient which was fine to an extent, but she lived up to that description to a frustrating level. Again, I understand that during this time period that is realistic but I feel like it is just too much. I wanted to listen to this book all the way through to see how the characters develop and change but I just could not do it...and that makes me sad because I have never come across a romance novel I did not finish and did not enjoy.

This household was just ridiculous and I wanted to finish the story just so I can see how/if Anne turns this into home where employees are not taken advantage of by both master and fellow employees. But when Michael leaves his wife's room after having unsatisfying sex and comes into his room where a footman has lined up 3 housemaids for Michael to chose from, I was appalled. What made my decision to stop is when he picked the maid that was shacking in fear and started crying and begging him to not make her do anything. Michael ordered the footman to strip her of her clothes so he can see if she had a body that will satisfy him then thought that once he was done with her, the footman will probably take her as well...I can't help but think of monster.

This is my first review and I know my thoughts are randomly typed out but I am sure you can get my point. And I probably should not of typed one since I did not even finish the book, but I feel like you should be warned because I wish I was! I feel like I wasted a credit but am glad that I did not pay for it either.

Remember this is only based off of the 3hrs I listened to and hopefully the rest of the book is better but I could not waste my time finding out. I did not want to waste my time finding out. The character of Michael is completely ruined for me so there is no way I could go through this book cheering for a relationship to form between him and Anne.

Any additional comments?

This is realistic to the time period but when I read a romance novel I want to be able to cheer for the hero and heroine, but I couldn't do that. I feel like the realistic qualities were taken too far and made it impossible for me to respect the Hero.

I understand if many people disagree with me but I wanted to write this review for those of you who are similar to my thinking and feeling.
