About this listen
An irrational need for blood draws the killer, compelling them to kill. Two Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agents, Carrie Border and Randy Jeffries are working hard to find and take down the killer before their own tangled lives trip them and take them down first.

The story starts well, fu!filling the promise of the promotional synopsis; but then, instead of continuing as a straight police procedural, it reels off into a romance and an almost mystical Christian propaganda book. Not that it is bad, or even tedious, it isn't. The characterisation is good, there's the trail of a possible, if unexpected suspect and a final, dramatic denouement. But the killing spree and it's solution become secondary to the rest of the book and certain earlier aspects are seemingly abandoned, which is a pity.
The narrator, Daniela Acitelli, reads clearly and well, with good pacing, just enough emotion and good intonation. She also voices her protagonists individually, further increasing the already good characterisations. In particular, the three women most central to the story - the police woman, Carrie, and two librarians, are both well written and performed, and are interesting people.
My thanks to the rights holder of The Blood, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. It was an enjoyable read despite not being the book I had expected, and my feeling that the heavy Christian redemptive message was both overplayed and, in some ways, contradictory. But then, the series title is the Redemption Series - so perhaps I could have guessed. I am curious to know if book two will take place in this same fictional town and pick up on aspects abandoned in this story. If so, it could be very interesting. If not - well, then I doubt that I will bother with the continuing stories
I am the one, not the 99.
