My girls love to play on their tablets and love to read too so I thought it was time to try out audiobooks with them. I found this package with 3 different stories and thought they sounded like something the girls would enjoy so I got it for them. Their first time getting a audiobook. Needless to say they devoured these stories in no time flat and are asking to listen to them again. So I'd say that is a good sign based on their eagerness to hear the stories again. Personally I liked that the stories had a deeper meaning than just plain old entertainment, but the girls, they loved the different characters and voices and want to do their own adventures just like Whitney and I like that. A lot! Great job Susan and Marlene.

I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this 2 book set. The story of Catherine and her Count was filled with so many ups and downs that it kept me on the edge of my seat as I listened to it. Even though there was a lot of background information at the front, not to give away too much, I felt that it was very helpful in setting the tone of the era and of the area as well since the time and place are so foreign to me. I did enjoy that a lot. I felt it set the stage well for where the story took place and the time in history when it happened.

I 'm a huge fan of paranormal romances - you name it, vampires, werewolves and all of that. And this story did not disappoint! Not only did I enjoy the main character Catherine, but I also felt that many of the other characters grew on me as well as the story went along. Her family, I thought, were well laid out and described and the Count, what can I say about him other than I loved that he was strong yet also soft. Very unusual for a vampire but also very interesting.

In the 3 hour time frame this story took place a lot happened and I do not want to give anything away. But I can say through all the ups and downs in this small little village in a European town hundreds of years ago that I found many parts of this story that spoke to me in a way I could understand and empathize with even today - hundreds of years in the future. That alone really stuck out to me about this story.

Even if it included a few vampires and other supernaturals along the way I felt it could almost be real as I listened along. What a cool fantasy. I thoroughly enjoyed the pace of this fairy tale - I don’t have loads of free time, life happens, right, and I truly appreciated that the author packed so much story into such a short time frame so that I could enjoy the story and then get on to something else.

I loved this classic fairly tale in a land far away and long long ago! I loved the century bride and her vampire - Catherine was strong when she needed to be yet put the fates of others ahead of herself. And the count was strong too but also kind and caring of all the people in the village. The story was well told, the length was good, the pace was great for me, and the narration was well done. All A+ in my book.

I liked it so well that I am still pondering over many of the events of the story even now, smiling over some, a little sad over others hours after I have finished it. And like my favorite TV shows that I binge watch from time to time, this will definitely be one audio book that I will listen to again and again.

All in all, all I can say is, well done Susan Charles and Smokey Green! Well done!
