This is a very different kind of Vampire story than most
with a delightful twist by the time you get to the third book in this set you
know just what happen and who did it but you do not know the why of it. I can’t
even imagine why these people have built up their warriors and for what reason.
Yes they are taking down the Vampires one at a time and we are told what they
want us to believe but all fingers are pointing to a much deep reason that most
likely will be mind blowing. This starts
out with action from the first page which is more or less never ending.
AURORA SKY
Aurora has her whole life planned out before her what
college she will go to, where she might live isn’t really important as long as
she get out of Alaska to somewhere warmer maybe a sunny beach or a cool crisp
mountain side that is until the day she got in her car to face a deadly scene
of a car coming straight at her. She wakes up to find that her life is over as
she knows it, she won’t be going to the college she pick, she won’t be leaving
Alaska and just what the heck have they done to her. What have they made her? How can she get out
of this nightmare and will she be able to ever be normal again?
When the government steps in why she is on death row
changing her making her better than she was before or did they? Now she must
stay in Alaska as her true mission comes to light it scares the crap right out
of her. She must train and hunt down vampires have them bite which sends a
vampire into temporary paralysis which gives her enough time to kill them. Is
she a vampire or not, maybe somewhere in between. She must partner up with
others like her to hunt down the bad vampires that the government decides needs
to die.
There is a little love interest here that doesn’t come out
all the way until a little later on. It is very interesting and a lot of fun to
watch it play out. You have Fane and Dante both are very hot and have their own
place in this story.
NORTHERN BITES
In this we find Aurora teaming up with Valerie who is out
for anyone’s blood not just vampires. Unlike Aurora she isn’t a hunter she is the
food for them. The action continues throughout
as they take on more vampires. Aurora learns more about Fane not all is as it
seems. She learns more about the agency which makes her start asking question.
One of their beloved team mates and a friend of Aurora’s are found dead it sends
Aurora and Valerie after a vampire in Sitka. Something just isn’t right and
things do not turn out as to be expected leaving Aurora head spinning as she
learns new things about herself. As she
learns new things she finds she remembers some old ones leaving her to believe
that they might be killing the wrong people. Jared becomes a major player in
this book which leaves us with very scary thoughts. Something happens here that
she must get out of town and off to boot camp she goes. I believe here she
finds something that upsets her in trying to find a place to get her thoughts
together she finds herself in a mess of trouble with little or no way out. My
heart really went out to her in this book as she finds people she trusts can’t
be trusted. Fane really wasn’t my favorite character in this book. What happen
to Valerie and where did she go?
BAD BLOOD
This starts out with Aurora being at book camp she must do
one mission, given one tool and a time frame to take out a vampire. If she
passes she gets to go home if she does not she must start the training all
over. This is very fast paced with lots of action. She comes home to start
college and find more shocking surprises. I really like Noel in the first book
but by the end of the second she isn’t my favorite character. She plans a very
big role in book 3 with some very surprising twists. Fane is back in the
picture which doesn’t make Aurora very happy. As the book moves on Aurora finds
out more about herself and the day she dies. There is much mystery in all three
books but I think this one has the most so far.
You start to wonder if they aren’t on the wrong side and just which side
is the right one.
We have more trying times with an unexpected roommate that
she can’t get along with which brings so exciting scenes. Fane is back and Dante
takes on a bigger part in her life. Valerie is back causing major trouble which
just about leaves her dead. Revenge is
the names of the game for this book from Valerie to the mystery lady both are
out for blood and it looks to be Aurora they want. Aurora finds her family
might not be safe. With all that goes on in this book it really turns her life
upside down leaving her wondering where to turn and who she should trust.

The narrator had me on pins and needles really bring this
audio to life. She did a great job of bring the emotion, pain and sorrow to the
front leaving you with your heart beating double times as she pulls on mind
trying to unravel the mystery of all that is going on around you. Her character
voices are wonderful you always know what each one is feeling and have no
trouble knowing who is taking. Her male voices are just as wonderful as her
female ones. There are no repeats of words and no breaks were taken that I
could tell. There are no background noises just a clean, clear audio that
leaves you hanging on her every word. She really puts her emotions in to this
audio never leaving you guessing as to what each character is feeling. The
action scenes really come to life in your mind as danger is near or the hunt is
on. You can almost feel the bite and the shaking of the victim right before he
or she is taken out. I really enjoyed this narrator and cannot wait to listen
to more of her work.
The author gives you wonderful characters you can relate to
and feel their pain. My heart really
went out to Aurora mother from the trouble in her marriage to having to decide
what to do about her daughter as she is at deaths doors. Than to have to deal
with what she has done there is no wonder she kind of lives in her own world. Aurora
grandmother is something else all together. Her father I really didn’t
understand until later and then I really didn’t like him. Fane and Dante what
is there not to love until Fane does something that really just about breaks
your heart? By the end of the story I am torn between which one I like the most
and would love to see Aurora with.
For the author she did a wonderful job giving a new twist to
an old story that is old as time. She really just about made me believe in
vampires. There are times you really dislike some characters only to find you
come to like them and she turns the tables on you again. I really loved some
and couldn’t get enough. You will have a mixture of feelings throughout this
whole box-set. There isn’t very much filler in this story each scene has a
point to make as the author twists and turns her way into your heart. This is
one author that knows how to keep you on the edge with the mystery and unknown.
You really do not know what to believe
and spend your time yelling at a few characters. It isn’t all gloom and doom
there is humor and laughter. I spend my time smiling, laughing or waiting to
cry. Aurora has always had my heart from the first page. Noel I really liked
and then not so much now I am unsure. There is so much more going on than meets
the eyes. I can’t wait to find out what everyone is hiding. There is some romance but mostly it is about
the hunt, the kill, the who and what the heck is really going on. This is the
first I have read/listen of her work and am really looking forward to
listening/read more of this series.
Note: I really should have work on my review after listening
to each book. My mind is a little confused as to some of the things that
happened from one book to another. All in all it blends well and is very
entertaining.

Summary
Aurora Sky narrowly escapes death only to end up as a
vampire hunter with unusual cravings and heightened desires. To protect the
people she loves, she will have to make sacrifices, and evade the biggest threat
of all . . . a forbidden love. Fast-paced and full of twists, the Aurora Sky
series takes an entirely new, sci-fi approach to what it means to be a vampire.
AURORA SKY (Volume 1)
If there is one thing eighteen-year-old Aurora Sky wants, it's to get off the iceberg she calls home. Then a near-fatal car wreck changes everything. Government agents step in and save Aurora's life in exchange for her services as a vampire hunter. In Alaska. Basically she's a glorified chew toy. All thanks to her rare blood type, which sends a vampire into temporary paralysis right before she has to finish the job . . . by hand.
Now Aurora's stuck with an overzealous partner, a group of misfit friends, and a maddening attraction to a rebellious man keeping secrets of his own.
NORTHERN BITES (Volume 2)
Love bites.
Probation sucks.
Thanks to Dante’s recklessness, Aurora is now partners with Valerie: the redheaded, backstabbing vixen.
Dante is in full flirt mode. Fane’s tactics are more ruthless. Something carnal has awakened in Aurora and neither boy is helping tame her cravings.
When a member of the unit’s team is found dead, Aurora and Valerie are sent after a vampire in Sitka, but Aurora suspects the killer’s much closer to home.
STAKEOUT (Volume 2.5)
Noel Harper got a second chance at life when the government recruited her as an undercover vampire informant. Since the day they brought her back from the good-as-dead, she has wanted to prove herself worthy.
When a member of her investigative unit is murdered, Noel is paired up with a vampire hunter named Dante to spy on a suspect in Fairbanks. The problem? They're not the only ones on stakeout. Taking down murderous vampires is one thing. Dealing with the past is another. But this time, Noel isn't letting fear win. She's calling in help from the other side and discovers a shocking secret along the way.
BAD BLOOD (Volume 3)
Aurora returns from boot camp to a new assignment, an unwelcome roommate, and the increasingly amorous attentions of a certain vampire hunter.
College is starting, and so is Aurora’s undercover work at a network of swanky parties known as “Tastings” for high rolling vampires who like their blood laced with fine wine. But Aurora’s not the only one on the prowl. An underground investigation is under way to find out who killed one of Anchorage’s most prominent vampires… and Aurora is a prime suspect.
