Blurb:
Become a bartender at The Vixen’s Den, they said.
The owner isn’t REALLY a vampire, they said.
It’ll be fun, they said.
And suddenly I’m neck deep in a world I’ve never believed in, no matter what my crazy Great Aunt Mabel used to say.
Seriously, I have more than enough drama in my life already, without adding an irresistibly mesmerizing nightclub owner to the mix. My boss-a man with a penchant for trouble and the echo of tragedy lurking behind his dark gaze.
My new coworkers appear to be universally insane. My deadbeat ex is in trouble with a capital “T,” and if history is any indication, he’ll do his best to drag my son and me right along with him. In other news, I’m also being hounded by creditors who seem to think you can make money appear in someone’s bank account by threatening them over the phone.
(Though to be fair, if that approach worked, I’d be all for it. Spoiler alert-it doesn’t.)
To top it all off, while my back was turned, I’ve somehow become a chess piece in a cold war between supernatural factions. Just because magic supposedly runs in my family doesn’t mean I know the first thing about Fae or demons or vampires or any of this craziness.
But it looks like I’m gonna have to learn. Because now they’re coming after the thing I hold most dear - my son. And I’ll do anything to get him back.
Thank you to the narrator for making this book a good experience to imagine and hear and to the author for writing such a good book i never new i needed to listen to ❤
We appreciate the kind words-Gwendolyn is a true talent at narrating, and R.A. Steffan builds really fun worlds to get lost in! The good news is, there are a total of 17 audiobooks in the series. All but the first six (Rans and Zorah's story) are already up on this channel. Check out Vampire Bound: Books Two, Three, and Four; Forsaken Fae: Books One to Three, and The Sixth Demon: Books One to Four!
@@OtherLove_PublishingAnd Imma litsen to all of them , thank uu!!❤❤❤
Book 1 fantastic, great pros, great narration, I have binged the whole series, now looking for the first series, The last Vampire, and the next . Thanks to all, from author, narrators and production team. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's absolutely our pleasure! The series is seventeen books in total-The Last Vampire (six books) is tied up in an exclusivity contract for another couple of years, but is available on Audible and Apple Books / iTunes.
Forsaken Fae and The Sixth Demon are going up on UA-cam as I can get to them. If you don't want to wait, you can follow the link in the video description to our publisher site, and if you poke around a bit you should find them. :)
What a book. On the edge of my seat. Great narrator and fantastic story. I'm hooked.
Good book! Can't wait for the next one. And thank you so MUCH for the human narrative!
Glad you enjoyed it! We love our human narrators for titles that can financially justify the outlay. Gwendolyn Druyor, Nick Hudson, and Cornell Collins are all amazing people to work with!
Wow, did you reply to everybody? Uncommonly nice of you🙃 Im loving the book. Thank you!
Thank you for listening! We try to respond to all comments that aren't some variation of "worst book ever, go die in a fire," LOL. It only seems polite.
About 7 chapters in. So far, so good. I really like the narrator. 👍
Glad you're enjoying it! Gwendolyn Druyor is a star.
Thank you so much for my new fav series!! Also thank you for the narrator! Much prefer human vs AI. And her range is IMPRESSIVE!!
Gwendolyn is a star! Thank you so much for listening-glad you're enjoying it!
I have fallen in love with this series. Thank you for all your work.
Thank you for watching! We love this series and its various spinoffs.
Halfway through and Loving it!!. I really hope the rest of the series comes soon.
So glad you're enjoying it! I'm currently immersed in the fiddly process of editing out all the bits of Book 2 that YT wouldn't approve of, LOL. I hope to have it up for you within a week.
Wow! Just. . . WOW! I'm only 7 or 8 chapters in, and I am completely captivated by this story!!!
Hooray! Glad you're enjoying it! There are three more books after this one, and I'm working on getting the next of the spin-off series edited for uploading!
@@OtherLove_Publishing ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
Love this author’s ability to delve into dark situations and subjects that many will not even allude to. Her ideas are penned with the utmost respect for her characters, written with class.
Plus, this “world” is wonderfully imaginative and fun, yet deliciously dark! I knew I was hooked when I found myself laughing out loud , while at other times -tearin up, grieving right along with my favorite hero/heroine. These are not “sparkly Vampire/ giggly Demon tales, not one bit …totally immersive, a wild ride, and My new favorites!
We're thrilled we could entertain you! R. A. Steffan has built a really wonderful world in this massive 17-book series!
This was such a good story 👏
I fell asleep listening woke up and frantically looked for last placed listened too. This is a wonderful audible.
We're thrilled to be able to tell you a bedtime story! Thank you so much for listening! ❤️
Thank you for the detailed blurb about the book in the description.
Our pleasure! It's always good to know what you're getting into, LOL.
I’m only halfway through, and I love this book. And I love the narrator, it’s the best I’ve Hurd in a long time.
So glad you're enjoying it! The good news is, there are seventeen books and a couple of novellas set in this world, and eleven of them are up on our YT channel. :D
Wow what a rollercoaster.
I have just finished all four books and I have to give it 5 stars and would definitely recommend this sarga. At first I wasn't sure I could listen to the narrator but they are truly brilliant she really drew me in and the further I went down the rabbit hole I really enjoyed how they grew into the characters and gave them life. The story line/lines are brilliant and compelling and had me laughing out loud pretty much the whole way through. All four books have been written really well. It's hard for me to get sucked in the way I did, I literally couldn't do anything else but listen to these books.
The spicy stuff has been beeped out but its not so bad because it's not overly spicy.
We're so glad you enjoyed it! Don't miss the other series set in this world-Forsaken Fae and The Sixth Demon (both on UA-cam), along with the OG series, The Last Vampire, available exclusively on Audible and Apple / iTunes!
Very good story. Can’t wait to hear the next book.
Thank you for listening! Lots more set in this world, so enjoy!
Loving this story!!! Great choice in narrator too!! Can’t wait to get to the rest of the series
Thank you for listening! Gwendolyn is fantastic. The rest of Vampire Bound is up on this UA-cam channel, as are the spinoffs Forsaken Fae and The Sixth Demon. The original series, The Last Vampire, is available as two audio boxsets on Audible and Apple Books.
I've loved this, thank you. Looking forward to the rest.
We're so glad you liked it! Enjoy Books 2-4, and I'm uploading the spinoff series with Len next!
Thank you! Love it
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
The last vampire was one of my fave books. I hope this one is good too!
Oh, wow! Great to have a Last Vampire fan here! The series ended up with seventeen books, all of which are now on audio!
Why do people talk so poorly about the narrator. Why does everyone do that? Especially when the book is free. FFS people are rude. Not only is it insulting to the Narrator who read the story, but it's an insult to the author, too. They picked the narrator as they feel they match the persona of the main character.
If you don't like the way someone reads the book for you, then read the book yourself. Otherwise stop complaining about a person doing their job. If you people keep complaining about the human narrator on a free book , the authors will switch to AI and no one likes an artifical voice. Sheesh, if you dont like it keep it to your self and go read the book.
Sorry to complain, but it ridiculous. She did a good job. You're all just being rude. Also, if you think you can do better.
Everyone has an opinion on the internet, LOL.
Enjoying your book 🎉❤ You definately are a talented writter 😊 Thankyou for putting this book out there for us.. Can't wait to listen to the next book 🎉😂
Thank you! We're blessed with some wonderful writers and narrators here!
Such a good book! I need the rest of the series!!
Thank you! I'm the designated audiobook-to-UA-cam-video maker (among several other jobs, LOL), and I'm hoping to get the next one up in a few days.
I love how it starts with a St Louis night club. STL born and raised 🤚
So is the author! She has several books set in the city. :)
Good book loved it ❤
We're so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening.
Real enjoyed, thanks for sharing🫶
It's our pleasure! Enjoy the rest of the series. :)
For a 30 year old single mom who has had it rough, she sure is weak and nieve. The other characters have me laughing.
@amydeal7468 I keep thinking she is only 21 and forgetting she is in her early 30s.
Brilliant book love it need more ❤
We're so glad to hear you're enjoying it! Book Two is now up (you can click our channel profile pic and it shouldn't be hard to find). We're aiming to get one new book in the series up every week!
Thank you for sharing ❤😅
ALMOST as great as Jeanine Frosts Night huntress series still have yet to find anything that has everything
WOW!! That's high praise indeed! (Love that series)
I'll be sure to pass this on to the authors-I suspect they'll be chuffed by this comment as well. Thank you so much for listening!
Have you read The Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton? Also J R Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood? Love this book too!!
@@amandalovelle7617love the Anita Blake series!!! I reread it all the time!
Have a good weekend.
You too!
When will the next book be available
Within the next few days, I hope! I'm plugging away at the project whenever I have a spare moment. :)
I love these books
Thank you so much for listening!
I hate Vonnies voice. I get she is naive in this new world, but she makes me cringe. Love the storyline though. 😊
Sorry to hear you're not enjoying the narration-but thank you for giving the story a chance!
When does the romance start? I'm halfway in....
I'd say it heats up partway into Book Two.
awesome!
Glad you're enjoying it!
5:46:42 I'm hooked ❤
Hooray!! The good news is, there are 17 books set in this world, eleven of which are on UA-cam. :) The others (The Last Vampire: Books 1-6) are exclusive to Audible and Apple / iTunes for another couple of years.
Okay, I am really enjoying the story and the narrator does a really good job with a lot of the voices but I laugh every time she does Jace because she sounds like a character on Rugrats, it's kind of hilarious (if that would be off putting to any listeners, the kid isn't in the book all that much, it doesn't take you out of the story or anything, it's just funny to me)
If the kid is like 16 why make him sound like he is 6 other then that good book
Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the portrayal of Jace, but glad you liked the story otherwise!
Agreed it’s was hard to hear him knowing he wasn’t a small child but teen the author wrote him n a innocent light ig good read tho she definitely has a range
She did a phenomenal job on voicing all the characters.... I just think she isn't around 14 year olds so was uneducated on how 14 year olds act. I noticed her character of the main woman in the story also slips into that same childlike behaviour... So let's just assume it's a learned behaviour and the 14 yr old speaks to his mother that way knowing it resonates with her. 😂.
Thank you kindly to the author and the narrator for the free upload. I truly appreciate the company of having an audiobook read to me while I'm doing chores and various other things 😁. Best regards 🎉
@teripharaoh8838 I may be biased as a former narrator. She was fantastic. Her immersion was spectacular. Also, its not the narrators job to replicate real-life voices, only for the listeners to recognize the different characters speaking voices. Also, its considered rude to critique a book you are getting to free. 😊
I honestly believe using years to measure age or maturity is 1 of the worst things we can do 4 kids, not every 14 yo is at what some believe is a 14 yo level. I really enjoyed the book regardless of 1 criticism.

Hi I'm new here
The narrator lowkey sounds like Jo Firestone. Jo Firestone from Dr. gameshow
I enjoyed the story, and i dont know ny 6 yo that cuss. So i think its a matter of actually paying attention to the story. 😊.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it-thanks for listening! The rest of the Vampire Bound series along with the first of the spinoffs, Forsaken Fae: Books 1-3, are up now on UA-cam. I'm working on edits for the first book in Nigellus' series as we speak!
Can you do contract bound by ella Mae?
We can only upload audiobooks for which we hold the publishing rights. It looks like Ella Mae is self-published, meaning she holds her own copyrights rather than going through a publisher like us. She appears to be on Instagram if you want to contact her directly and ask.
Just a reminder that any money someone else borrowed, is not my responsibility. None of that went to me, and I never even lived with any of these people. Address change fraud. Go hunt down the person who owes you. Not my problem.
I'm sure you'd be doing everyone a favor by getting him out of the way.
Like the story narrators voice is not good. It’s baby like or like a some child 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy Gwendolyn's performance. Thanks for giving it a try anyway!
I did enjoy this book, but started to get a weary with all the whinging coming from the fmc towards the end. Think I may give the next one a miss
Thanks for giving it a try-we really appreciate it!
I like the story but not the narrator ugh
Sorry to hear that! The Vampire Bound series is also available in print and e-book, if that helps.
I love the narrator lol 😂
Definitely a good book but that narrators voice…eek!
Sorry to hear you're not enjoying the narrator! The series is also available as e-books and paperbacks from major online book retailers, if that helps.

The voice of the Child is confusing and doesn't suit hus age. Boys of 14 are at the beginning of puberty, their voice gets deeper, they become heavy, don't want to get up in the morning, they don't want to listen to the parents antmore and start to get independent..they are quite big already on the first steps of discovering adulthood. You make the voice sound like a very young Child of 4 years old.
Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy Gwendolyn's narration of Jace! Thank you for giving the story a try anyway.
❤❤❤
Thank you for listening!
I want to listen to it but I just cannot stand the voices..
Sorry to hear that! Thank you for giving it a try.
fell asleep, not good
Thanks for giving it a try-sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it!
Good story w/excellent narrator. I just don’t like audio books. I need to keep my hands busy. I enjoy the weight of a book, page turning, skimming ahead, if wanted. Yes, bad me, I like reading the last page or two. I’ve vowed,once again, not to start the book two of a series.
Thanks for giving it a try! You're welcome to finish out the series in paperback-they're available at most online book retailers.
Gawd, her doing the guys voice is horrible!!!
Narrator sounds like a six year old. Otherwise, interesting book.
Sorry to hear you're not enjoying the narration! For what it's worth, the entire Last Vampire series (The Last Vampire, Vampire Bound, Forsaken Fae, and The Sixth Demon) is also available in print and e-book formats.
The voice used sounds awful!!😞
Sorry to hear you aren't enjoying the narrator's reading of Vampire Bound! If it helps, the series is also available in ebook and paperback from most online book retailers.
Boring!
Sorry to hear you aren't enjoying the story-thanks for giving it a try anyway!
