About this listen
I grew up with them, the creatures of the night, the blood suckers, the monsters. I knew vampires before I could walk - not that I knew what they really were, just that they weren’t really like me.
I was human, just like my parents. And when I turned eighteen, I decided to work for the vampires after college, too. We had worked for their nest for over five generations, and I wanted to continue that tradition. But then, the master of the nest died. He’d practically raised me, my mother, my father, and everyone before us. He had looked at humans working for the nest as part of the nest. We were part of the family, even though we weren’t immortal or drank blood. He kept tight control, and accidents were so rare that I had never seen one happen.
The new master of the nest is not so kind or good at the job.
We need help. I need help. The new master is letting the vampires get out of control. Bodies are starting to pile up and even the other staff are at risk.
I’m Everly Abbott, and I need a solution to this before more people get killed. But, the solution might be more dangerous than the problem.

Needs a better narrator
I enjoy this author, and this book is no exception.
However, the narrator was just wooden enough to sound forced, which prevented me from immersing into the story. Whoever tells these narrators to enunciate slowly and clearly, needs to stop and say "speak normally, our readers can speed up/slow down as necessary!" .
I am going to continue the series in Kindle, but will not buy another Audible with this narrator.

Outstanding
K.N Banet is one of my favourite authors and this book is no exception. It is quite different from her other series, quite dark but very appropriate. This is more a vampire horror story than standard Urban fantasy and I appreciated the change in style. Strength is the ability to continue to find a way to survive when everyone around you can kill you with a flick of thier wrist and just might if you do or say anything to upset them. Strength is being so scared you are about to throw up but you push on anyway because people are counting on you. Strength is controlling your emotions so you can appear submissive and subservient long enough to find a way to take down a Vampire. That is Everly Abbott and I think she is going to be one of my favourite Characters.

Not Surprising If Heroine Was Dessicated
Boy howdy does she cry a lot. A LOT. LOTS. Also ricochets dangerously and inexplicably from panic attacks to ill-timed and unwise bravado.
This first of 9 intended books has something of the feeling of an extended set up in which the punches are telegraphed, with never any doubt who the immediate bad guy is, just the depths to which he may sink, but the series may well pick up from here with this out of the way.
There are differences from 'classic' vampires, and these are being introduced. Vampires in the Tribunal Archives have always come across as unrelentingly bad, and I worry it may be hard to introduce more than evil vs anguished as personality options. Prediction: among the supernatural, vampires don't produce many comedians.
Sheer prejudice & a question of taste, but I found the narrator's accent like super annoyyyinggg (mind you, I come from a country whose accent is described as "nasal twang", so: glass houses & stones). I therefore recommend trying the sample audio, though I would probably have decided to listen anyway and try to get over myself as I've enjoyed all this author's different series (serieses?), other than the main characters' tendencies to blame themselves for Effects Of Things Done By Bad Other People to an extent which somewhat uncomfortably reminds me of my work with victims of real-world violence and trying to help said victims place accountability where it should be: 'I blame myself for the psychopath's behaviour, I should have known better than to provoke him by behaving like a normal person and/or predicted his irrational punishment of me by hurting me/others' is not an attitude I much endorse, however much it may be written in as a sign of being an adult and a leader.
This review sounds a bit flippant and perhaps over-exacting, but clearly there's enough in this book to engage a reader quite strongly, which I encourage you to take as a good sign!
