Samantha Watkins, Book 1

Outstanding Supernatural Tale

I very much like how this story unfolds. This book is written in French, then translated into English. The follow-on books are written, but have not yet been translated. The story opens with a misfit librarian, Samantha Watkins, gets mixed up with a vampire. This story is about two people getting to know each other. The plot line has to do with a group of rouge vampires causing serious trouble. Samantha (Human Heroine) and Phoenix (the male Vampire Hero) have to not only navigate their relationship, but his acquaintances and his bosses, yet has to take down their enemies or be faced with their own execution.

This is a THRILLER-romance. You will like this if you like supernatural characters and want a more cerebral story. Amy McFadden does a fabulous job narrating. I salute Stacey Battis for translating this. You cannot tell it was originally written in French.

I recommend this novel, you won't be able to stop listening. I can't wait till the next installment is released. Give it read.

Compelling But Flawed

Any additional comments?

Translated from the French, this is only the first volume available in English. There appears to be 4 books in the series but none of the rest have been translated.

I found the story line pretty compelling even though the language was a little stilted. Part of it had to do with the fact that it's narrated by a naive, lonely librarian. But I think part of it was the translation. That being said, I was drawn into the story of Samantha and Phoenix.

One note: the narrator actually screams when Samantha screams in the story. It's pretty disturbing to hear.

The novel ends with a cliff hanger and without the English version of the 2nd book in the series, we're all left hanging! If given the choice, I think I might've waited for the 2nd book to be available before I listened to this one.

Best book I've ever listened to!

This book was outstanding I laughed one minute and was on the edge of my seat the next. And having the amazingly talented Amy Mcfadden as the narrator, just made the book that much more amazing!

Loved it but.....

If you could sum up Samantha Watkins, Book 1 in three words, what would they be?

Really enjoyed this book. Great story and naration. The only problem is that this is a series and only the first book (which ends in a cliffhanger) has been translated into english! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE translate the other books for us!

Great story if you like vampires

From a novice to a kick- ass protagonist I enjoyed getting to know Samantha. The narrator was really good and the different character voices easy to follow. The personal development of Samantha as a woman for me was frustratingly slow but overall I enjoyed the story.
