About this listen
Family is power. The Original vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together always and forever. But even when you're immortal, promises are hard to keep.
Arriving in New Orleans in 1722, Original vampire siblings Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah Mikaelson believe they've escaped their dangerous past. But the city is lawless, a haven for witches and werewolves unwilling to share territory. The siblings are at their mercy...especially after Klaus meets the beautiful and mysterious Vivianne. Her impending marriage is key to ending the war between the supernatural factions - and Klaus' attraction to her could destroy the uneasy alliance. As Elijah works toward securing a piece of the city for his family, and Rebekah fights her unexpected feelings for a French captain, will Klaus' volatile desires bring their world crashing down - and tear them apart for good?

Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years. But there's something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what's broken in me. Which could spell death for us all.

Surviving a werewolf attack should’ve been the strangest thing to happen to me tonight. But no, the universe had other plans. Now, I’m stuck dealing with a broodingly hot guy named Wesley St. John—who seems way too comfortable with murder. Definitely a red flag, right? Wes isn’t just some guy I stumbled upon—he’s a protector, but not the friendly kind. His job is to keep the supernatural world in check, and my ignorance is making things complicated.

Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him. Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone.

Story
As the heir to a billion-dollar empire, Kian Maston's future was promising - until the day he saved my life. Everything changed for both of us, and there was one more word that could be used to describe him: dangerous. The nation fell in love with Kian while falling in hate with me. He was sent to prison, and as far as they were concerned, it was my fault. I was forced to go into hiding until today. Kian's being released from prison, and he should go back to being the golden boy he always was supposed to be.

Story
Crulden the Ruiner is the most dangerous gladiator in the galaxy. I'm his clone—equally ugly, equally dangerous, and just as feared. I'm also being held captive, since no one trusts a creature like me to be let loose. A curvy, determined human named Bee doesn't think I'm a creature, though. In fact, she thinks I just need a guide. She's got half the males on this planet eating out of her hand, and she's confident she can do the same with me. The managing little female has no idea what she's in for.

Series was good the Books are Better
I found the Originals streaming one night and just loved the series. I did go back and watch the Vampire Diaries but I am a little too old for that one. I had a bunch of credits and thought hmm why not. And to my Very Happy surprise I am asking you why have you not downloaded them. Well read and definitely a great way to learn about how the Original Family cane to New Orleans. Ready to bite into the next book!!

Great story! Narration is terrible and distracting.
Great story, but the female attempted male voice narration is terrible and very distracting. 10/10 otherwise.

I loved it all
I was hesitant on “reading” this book due to a review about the narrators voice for the characters. A good narrator makes it or breaks an audible. I had my reservations because of my love for Klaus. I have high standards for that character. Joseph Morgan plays his character so well. Let me say that the narrator did a phenomenal job matching the cadence of the characters. I was blown away. I would highly recommend. I love the show. I love the characters. They have such a variety of personality but yet also intune fundementally on a deeper level with each other. The author does a great job with making you fall in love with all of the characters. Each one holding a special place in your heart. There is at least something in all of them the reader can relate to and in someway humble the spirit in the best way. I love the setting. New Orleans is such a magical city. It does feel like stepping into the old world. You can feel the history and presence of magic of old walking the streets of New Orleans. The music, the art, the history…The author gives homage to that beauty and mystery. I love the conflicts within the characters as well as conflicts with external forces. The passion, the loyalty, the romance, the rage, the chaos, the hope, the mixture of fantasy and real world circumstances. I really wish the show would have followed this story path because it really would have been a game changer. I couldn’t get enough. I can’t wait to read the next book. So so good. Great job Julie Plec. You created something special I will cherish always. Great job Saskia Maarleveld. You brought these characters to life and continued my love for them. All the stars. Bravo.

I absolutely love The Originals!!!!
I am so intrigued by The Originals Vampires, especially now that I am finally able to sit and read the books after watching the first three seasons. I can't get enough of them. Thank you Julie Plec for such an amazing storyline and irresistible characters.
