Intriguing, Captivating, and Unique!
This collection of three novellas provides intricate details and background information into the lives of Am’r (aka vampires) that are found within the series. Each story touches on historical events and activities of different periods. The stories are titled Teeth Are Bones, Blood Brothers, and Abyssinia.
The author, Raven Belasco, reveals intimate details of the life and death of four individuals who have found themselves the Am’r. When crafting stories about vampires, death is an intricate piece. For Belasco, she provides powerful descriptions and intimate details about the death of each of the main characters in this collection. Living forever is horrifying unless one has a companion of some kind. She provides an inside look into the needs and desires of the Am’r which has never been truly addressed in this manner. Belasco provides depth to each character by revealing their true death from the mortal world and into the world of the Am’r. The historical pieces – the Haitian Revolution, the connection between two brothers at war as mercenaries in Europe/Middle East during the 900s, and finally the life of women in the 1930s who are trapped and exploited due to their gender and expectations. These pieces blend into the stories smoothly and evenly. The dialogue is authentic, and the plot twists are captivating.
The narrators, Bahni Turpin, Tavia Gilbert, and Paul Rogan are excellent! They bring to life each character vividly and authentically. Each provides a distinctive voice for each character allowing the listener to follow the narrative easily. These distinctive voices provides another layer of depth to the narrative and character. Their deliberate pauses and intonations are intriguing and captivating.
This narrative provides a different look into the world of Am’r (vampires) that is all too often glossed over. The listener is treated to a more in-depth and personal perspective. This is a book that all vampire enthusiasts and those who just enjoy a good book must hear!
