There are still isolated pockets of resistance and this novel follows the adventures of six hunters. Vampires have taken over the human world and many countries have bowed to their rule. This book is a continuation of a story begun in the Eternal Kiss, an anthology of vampire stories. The pronunciation of Spanish words was a mixed bag: sometimes good, mostly poor.
The Dutch accent sounded just like the British. It was high-pitched and didn't match the content of the dialogs for the character. And this woman's southern accent made me think she was channeling Paula Dean. What is the problem with getting someone who really knows what a south Louisiana accent sounds like? It isn't the stereotypical southern accent. The accents were the worst I've heard in a while. Her whispery voice was distracting and annoying. I'm tempted to get the paper or e-book and read it for myself.
The narrator however, made it hard for me to enjoy. I liked the use of historic references, of religious activities (pretty much go hand in hand with vampire stories), and the characters were not nearly as shallow as I thought they might be for an action/horror story. I was very interested in a vampire story that wasn't the same ilk as The Twilight Saga.
