About this listen
As a null, Scarlett Bernard possesses a rare ability to counteract the supernatural by instantly neutralizing spells and magical forces. For years she has used her gift to scrub crime scenes of any magical traces, helping the powerful paranormal communities of Los Angeles stay hidden. But after LAPD detective Jesse Cruz discovered Scarlett's secret, he made a bargain with her: solve a particularly grisly murder case, and he would stay silent about the city's unearthly underworld. So when two witches are found dead a few days before Christmas, Scarlett is once again strong-armed into assisting the investigation. She soon finds a connection between the murders and her former mentor, Olivia, a null who mysteriously turned into a vampire, who harbors her own sinister agenda. Now Scarlett must revisit her painful past to find Olivia - unless the blood-drenched present claims her life first.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Today, thanks to a farewell ritual gone awry, Lela is standing in paradise, looking upon a vast gated city in the distance - hell. No one willingly walks through the Suicide Gates, into a place smothered in darkness and infested with depraved creatures. But Lela isn’t just anyone - she’s determined to save her best friend’s soul, even if it means sacrificing her eternal afterlife. As Lela struggles to find Nadia, she’s captured by the Guards, enormous, not-quite-human creatures that patrol the dark city’s endless streets.

I’m one placement away from becoming a fully fledged London detective. It’s bad enough that my last assignment before I qualify is with Supernatural Squad. But that’s nothing compared to what happens next. Brutally murdered by an unknown assailant, I wake up 12 hours later in the morgue - and I’m very much alive. I don’t know how or why it happened. I don’t know who killed me. All I know is that they might try again.

She used to work for the US government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon.

Exciting!
This one was so exciting. Learned a lot about SCAR. Glad to see Jesse and Scar continue their getting to know one another. Glad Jessie's overdone accent from the last book was gone in this one. Narration was excellent. Listened twice before writing this review. Now going to the next book. So love this series. Thank you for the audible versions. I listen, then read-listen, then go back and listen. Enjoy.

Hidden Gem
I really love this story and this book was even better than the first. I have to be in the mood to read supernatural and this book really put me in that mood. Great story of witches, vampires, and werewolves that really kept me reading until the end. This series is a hidden gem that proves free can be really great reading. The narrator was perfect for this series and did great with the different characters. Can't wait to see where it goes.

Awesome read!
I love Scarlett and her crew. Olivia, her mentor has been turned into a vampire and is after Scarlett. She tries to stop her from going after her friends and family.
Well written characters. I always get sucked in and want to spend more time with them.

Can hardly wait for the next!
Where does Trail of Dead rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Near the top. I have been a member of audible for several years and have quite a collection going. I usually read a book and if I like it then will get it on cd to listen to in the car. When I love a story and then the narrator of the audio version stinks it can ruin it for me. I am happy to say that this narrator is well suited to this series and didn't detract from the story. Although it was strange that she used a different voice for Jesse the cop - I really liked the Hispanic voice she gave him in story one. I decided I didn't care though, just different. She did a good job, hope she reads for the next one as well.

Love this series!!!
This is one of my favorite book series. The main character is relatable in her reactions to this supernatural world she is in. With action throughout it and an interesting cast of characters in the story it keeps you wanting to hear what will happen to the characters in every turn.

Whoa
I knew some of the events of the future that happened due to having read the third trilogy first. Not by any fault of my own. I just wasn't aware that there were two other trilogies. And I'm glad that I found out before I begged the author for the back stories of things referenced in the third trilogy. I really enjoyed this book. I was still on my edge through the entire thing! I won't give specifics on certain things because I don't want to give the book away. All I'll say is that knowing how things end up doesn't mean that the events don't floor you! This is an AMAZING series! I would recommend reading them in order for full effect. I'm so in love with the characters in this series and just can't get enough. I really hope there's another trilogy set that I can read after I'm done with all of these!!!

Thumbs up--Great Book Excellent series
I could see this is a first book of a series--a few rough points but I must say I like the characters, the action and intrigue. Couldn't wait to read Book 2---I was very surprised at the book--REALLY WELL DONE. Again all of the above but those rough spots are now gone.
I had to get Book 3---SO HAPPY I DID--great flow of story line and new action to spice up the story. Great imagination---time well spend and I really have enjoyed the reading/ listening.
Now for your narrator--Amy McFadden--excellent choice--you are doing a great job!
One problem--WE NEED BOOK 4!
