Narrators Teddy Hamilton and Laurie West enliven this first book in a vampire motorcycle series. Bane, a vampire, is in the midst of war against necromancers who are threatening his territory when he encounters Dr. Ryan St. Cloud. Ryan is immune to Bane's hypnotic power, and Hamilton aptly expresses his frustration and puzzlement over his inability to affect her. Both Hamilton and West bring subtle menace to their portrayals of Bane--listeners will wonder if he is going to kill Ryan or kiss her. The villains are given tones that make one think of old movie monsters, adding to the entertainment factor. With the banter between Bane and Ryan increasing in intensity, the story takes listeners on a wild ride.

A dynamic performance of this series follow-up.
Narrator Fred Berman returns listeners to the world of Infernal Affairs in Savannah, Georgia, in this sequel to Hell To Pay (2026). Luke Tievel, the son of the devil and a hellhound, investigates crimes of a paranormal nature with his human partner, Sorcha O’Malley. Luke’s current case is the decapitation of two werewolves. Berman conveys Luke’s frustration as he tries to solve the murders as well as the mystery of why creatures are after Sorcha. When Luke was banished from hell, several demons followed him, and Berman gives each of them a unique voice, infusing his narration with a touch of humor. Berman’s tone vibrates with power when Luke confronts his enemies.

Frangione is the longtime narrator of this series, and his familiarity with it adds to the listening experience.
Narrator Jim Frangione once again draws listeners into Ward's world, where humans coexist with vampires (unbeknownst to the humans). The vampires are being hunted by creatures known as Lessers. Vampire Allhan has an unexpected encounter with Princess Dennesha. Passion flares between them, but both are struggling with secrets: Frangione conveys Dennesha’s frustration with her destiny, and he fully expresses Allhan’s agony as he’s torn between trying to protect his sister and betraying his adopted family. The vampire race is protected by The Brotherhood, and Frangione perfectly brings the brothers to life.
