About this listen
Fang Meets Fang
The vampires of Candle Bay and Crimson Cove come together for the Biting Man Festival in Eternity, California, to celebrate a centuries-old tradition that quickly turns murderous as they’re faced with old enemies, uncontrolled bloodlust, and the unpredictable antics of a self-proclaimed vampire slayer who is hellbent on destroying them all.

"You may now kiss your bride". They were the last words my mother heard before she collapsed on the church steps, poison ending her pitifully short life. When her new husband dies minutes later, all eyes turn to me. There are whispers. Accusations. The verdict is split. I murdered them both. Or I'm the next to die.

I didn't mean to star in a sex tape, okay? It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds. It just happened. Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

Welcome to The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore and Bar. I'm Sam Quinn, the werewolf book nerd in charge. I run my business by one simple rule: Everyone needs a good book and a stiff drink, be they vampire, wicche, demon, or fae. No wolves, though. Ever. I serve the supernatural community of San Francisco. We've been having some problems lately. Okay, I'm the one with the problems. The broken body of a female werewolf washed up on my doorstep. What makes sweat pool at the base of my spine, though, is realizing the scars she bears are identical to the ones I conceal.

Lady Luck missed her flight to Dublin. My enemies, however, did not. All I need to do is stay alive until my 45th birthday, and then the rest of my life will be mine to screw up without the help of my family’s curse. A couple rogue vampires and the hottest man I’ve ever laid eyes on will do everything they can to derail my plans. Okay, maybe I don’t mind the hot man so much. Hopefully the ancestors will help a sister out for the next 36 hours. Midlife isn’t supposed to be this dangerous.

Phenomenal
They are phenomenal authors when the write about vampires together and I loved the original
The Crimson Corset
The Vampires of Crimson Cove, Book 1
By: Alistair Cross
That’s why I chose this one and there’s another one with a different title which I believe continues on but not in the series but in the story somehow it’s like each is tied in together . Phenomenal similar to the other one which I think you should listen to first but it is the one with the tuxedo on the cover called candle bay it’s similar in ways like this one I’m reviewing I like very them all

A Delightful Wild Ride
It’s time for the Biting Man Festival in Eternity California as Vampires mingle with tourists and residents with none the wiser except for a select few “in the know”. All hell is about to break loose, and break loose it does in this hysterically funny, at times totally appalling, but consistently mind blowing, inventive, and imaginative story. Seventeen plus hours, of fantastically narrated goodness! I absolutely did not want it to end! The character development, as with all Thorn and Cross stories is off the charts! Another huge win! I can’t wait for more!
