Loved the story

Where does Vampire Girl rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I'd rank in the top of my list. I really loved the story and the turns.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the world that it has created. The difference in the characters.

Which scene was your favorite?

The end of book 1 was unexpected and of course I had to immediately order book 2.

Any additional comments?

I didn't like the males narration of the women voice. The female narrator did a better job of the male character's voice.

Buzzword-a-palooza

I found this story to be an attempt to shove every fantasy trope/buzzword into one story. Fae, magic-wielders, demons, vampires, werewolves, princes of Hell, the 7 deadly sins are somehow all mashed together as one or two kinds of being. It's an okay storyline with a chosen one, prophesy, competition over a lady who must-accept-her-fate/fated-mates/love-triangle/reverse-harem kind of thing with some action and adventure, but I just found it incredibly generic, and even lost track of characters as they all kind of run together. The characters too are very one-dimensional.
The narration is okay -- I liked the changing male/female narrators for changing POV, but it happens so rarely -- and the accents aren't terrible but not great. I again found it hard to distinguish between individual character voices.
I'll probably give book 2 a shot to see if it improves from here, but don't have high expectations for much unique or engaging story or narration, I'm afraid.
If you're looking for a short, shallow, standard YA fantasy incorporating ALL the tropes that you can listen to without really listening to, this is for you.

Loved it!!!!

I am shocked at how much I enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down, finished in one sitting. I can't wait to listen to the second. It's an awesome story full of magic, fae, vampires, etc. and quite a different take on the genre. The world building is amazing. I absolutely loved it and will download the next one as soon as I'm done writing this review. Laurel Schroeder and Joel Froomkin did a fantastic job with the narration. Definitely worth a listen!

Feels like only a part of a book

The story has a cliffhanger ending, which I hate and you have to buy the next book to get more of the story. I will not be buying the next book. It most likely ends in another cliffhanger and I'd rather spend my time on a story I actually care about. The female narrator did a great job, but the male narrator made me cringe, he was so bad. He ruins the sections he reads.

entertaining

A new and entertaining twist on a very popular genre. I enjoyed it immensely especially that it was told by two of my fave narrators, Ms Schroeder and Mr. Froomkin.
Loved Arianna's devotion to her Mother, her sassy attitude, her kind heart that touches everybody who meets her. It was a delight to follow her journey thru the first of the realms of hell, and it is not what you expect either, she totally enchants the Prince of War. She handles herself quite well even though there are those who make attempts on her life. Quite a twist at the end, one I didn't expect. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I want more if the story and to listen to these fabulous voices.

Eh.

The book was very slow. It didn't pick up or get much of a plot until the very last chapter and epilogue, so that was disappointing. Ari's character is also inconsistent and a mismatch of different personalities--most unbelievable or relatable. I couldn't connect with her at all. Although the premise of Hell was interesting, I felt like we didn't get enough description of it, either. There was a lot of repetition and weird coincidences (like Pete suddenly knowing about the demon mark)... Again, not believable. Also, the language the author used was too formal at times. Especially for a modern-day young woman.

As for the narrators, the female's voice I didn't mind too much. She didn't have much range though. All the brothers sounded similar. It was hard to tell them apart. And the Fae were Scottish. But the male's voice was torturous. I felt like Patrick Stewart was reading to me (and with the sexier parts, it got weird). I didn't feel like he matched at all.

I don't think I'll be reading more of this series. Didn't do it for me.

Loved the vampire/demons.

I didn't like the male voice that was narrating. It would have been better with only the female. I have heard her before, she's really good. The story itself is something new and fresh for me. However I didn't care for her best friend. I am not a fan of transgender and will probably get flack for this. That being said the rest of the story was good. I loved Fin. Not to happy with Asher. And I can't wait to hear the explanations in the next book.

Great story!!

Love all things paranormal, including romances. And this book has it all. Some emotions did come out with this book. It got me hooked and can't wait to read or listen to the entire series. Loved the characters including Finn and Ariana.

The narrators did a fantastic job with the reading and the accents of each character. They made me want to listen more and more. Kudos on choosing a perfect pair to narrate this story!!

The author did a great job writing this book. I think I have a new favorite author!!

A bit frustrating

I am unsure how to rate this story. With the number of positive reviews it has I expected more.

This book follows a girl who sells her soul to save her mother's. That works for me. But then after that point it doesn't.

She flirts with one of the princes of h*ll on the way to hell, and upon getting to hell, screams for help, hoping someone will care and save her? It's h*ll... At no point is she at all phased at h*ll being real, or being there, for the rest of eternity. Sure she cries at one point, for about a minute, because someone might want to kill her.

The next moment, she literally skips around and immediately starts trying to do everything she can to make h*ll a great place for when she'll rule. She's never phased about being in h*ll even though she grew up not believing in anything.

Then the end when she has to save someone, there's an overly convenient solution where people guess, correctly why it works.

Love it!

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed this series. I read it several years ago and it popped back up on my radar and I realized I wanted to reread it. As I have a long commute, I decided to give the audio book a try and oh my goodness do I love it. The narrators do an amazing job of bringing the characters to life. At first, I wasn't sure, but as I got further into the story I really began to enjoy it. So much so that I immediately went and bought the rest of the series. I am three quarters of the way through book two right now and am addicted to it.
