Avery Doyle loves vampires; he's read every novel, seen all the movies, and researched the folklore. When his first one-night-stand, Caroline, turns out to be a true vampire on the run, he jumps at the chance to leave his ordinary life and join her as a "child of the night". The honeymoon ends, however, when Caroline's brutal Creator Sebastian enslaves them on his island estate and Avery must confront the dehumanizing reality behind his dreams. In order to survive, Caroline and Avery take their place as servants in Sebastian's household during a gathering of the most powerful vampires on Earth.

Slow in places but an enjoyable listen

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I thought it was an interesting take on the vampire theme. Much more intelligent than your general bloodsucking undead.
I did find the political side of things quite difficult to get my head round. It did make listening a bit of a chore on a few occasions.

A very good novel
Revisado: 05-18-14
Where does Tales of the Forgotten rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is certainly up there at the top. I won this audiobook in a competition so downloaded and listened to it immediately. I didn't know what it was about and I had never heard of the author. I was very happy from beginning to end. The story was well written and the narrator did a sound job.
What did you like best about this story?
I was shocked to hear at the close of the recording that this was in fact the second book in the series. It surprised me because it works so well as a standalone novel.
What about Eric Vincent’s performance did you like?
I have to admit that it took me about fifteen minutes to get used to his voice but now, I couldn't imagine anyone would narrate it better.

When Sally Mertill is driving a carload of her friends back to Green Mountain Falls after visiting Pike's Peak they careen off the side of the mountain road. With no guardrails, it's not surprising there are no survivors. And yet within two days, a not altogether bad fellow named Bocnic Drewings will call upon the metal drawer where Sally's body awaits autopsy, open it, and lead her on the adventure of a lifetime - well, that's if she would have survived the accident.

Any additional comments?
This is just the type of book that I would normally listen too so it had a lot to live up to. I'm glad to say that it succeeded and it done it rather well.I went into the audiobook blind, having not read nor heard any blurbs and reviews of the novel. It is a story of the undead: zombies, vampires, werewolves. Cliché? Possibly, but not the way it is done here. Forget everything you think you know about the supernatural, these vampires don't sparkle, these werewolves aren't afraid of silver bullets and these zombies are definitely not the rotting corpses of former neighbours. There is plenty of action so you're not going to be bored and there is actually a good storyline to go with it.My only negative is that it feels too short. I'm sure there will be more to come and I look forward to it.
