What did you like best about this story?

Anna not only brings her braun into the character, but keeping true to her female soft side!

The Anna Strong Series is a well rounded, well written series by Jeanne C Stein. I was always on the watch for new releases to the series. This book here really dove in deeper with her strength as a vampire. Knowing her from Book one, it almost feels like she has become an old friend. 

There are those that love her in a way that she just not ready to let go. Bonding a friendship with her one friend that has guided her through her most difficult times of what it is to be a vampire. Still trying to adjust to a family life she knows she cannot have forever and planning her departure as painless as possible from her mom and dad and newly founded sister. 

This is one series that you do not want to miss out on and will come back in time to revisit. Do yourself a favor and at it to your TBL list today!

"Another winner!!!"

Overall

Story

What made the experience of listening to Blood Drive the most enjoyable?

Having the same narrator Dina Pearlman preform the book!

What did you like best about this story?

How it keeps you caught up to wait and hear what the character will do next. thinking or speaking outloud - watch out!

Have you listened to any of Dina Pearlman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Book one: the becoming

Wow, my reviews were so lame then, LOL! So to be more detailed on this series of books by Jeanne C Stein. This series was my first audio version of a series. Read series or character based books that are stand alone reads. So now time to fill in the empty spots above.

The experience that made me keep coming back for each book in the series and could not wait for each one to come out! It was the consistency of the story lines. The characters never changed only new ones were added. It captured me into the story as I could not wait to see how Anna managed to keep her family and doing it at arms length knowing that one day that it will have to end all contact with them. Knowing she will never age as they will. 

In this book, Anna comes to find out that her brother who past away in college. May indeed have a daughter the family knew nothing about. Anna comes to her rescue from a life that no young teen should ever be subjected to. How can she get her from her mother and show this young girl that there is others to love her. While still learning how to handle her new lifestyle as a vampire. 

The most enjoyable part is Dina Pearlman's performance she consistently has in each of the books in the series. I base a lot of my comparisons to other female narrators to Dina! 

If you have not read or listen to this series, please do you are in for a treat!

As a bounty hunter, Anna Strong knew how to find trouble. But now that she's a vampire, trouble seems to have a knack for finding her....

The death of Anna's old vampire mentor is causing ripples in the mortal world. His forensic report has brought up some anomalies, and people are asking questions - questions that no vampire wants to answer.

Anna needs to lie low, but the sudden discovery of a slew of drained bodies near the Mexican border brings an old flame back into her life and with him, a new challenge. Then, some stunning news from an unexpected source sends Anna and her friend Daniel Frey on a journey that may change both their lives - forever.

"Can't wait for the next book!"

Overall

Performance

Story

Would you consider the audio edition of Crossroads to be better than the print version?

never read the hard cover - I love the audio - makes driving to where ever I go more relaxing!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Crossroads?

Her making that final decision to stay vampire!

Which character – as performed by Dina Pearlman – was your favorite?

Love both Anna and Frye are exceptional characters that are meant to be together - someday!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Another one for Anna Strong - giving vampires a good name!

Any additional comments?

This series is so easy to get caught up in that you really want to listen to it non-stop from the first book to the 7th. To me this would make a great series and I would be a number one fan of Anna Strong! Bring a strong women character to life is far more harder to do than a male character and Jeanne Stein did just that! thumbs up!

Story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

For having a variety of stories in one collection is great way to enjoy the ride!

What did you like best about this story?

Each story was completely different - yet the same genre.

What about Cassandra Campbell and Renée Raudman ’s performance did you like?

How they brought each character to life. However, disappointed in Jeanne Steins' narration of her story since I am so use to Dina Pearlmans narrated voice. But the story was well read.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

if I could have I probably would have while sitting doing my craft works

Any additional comments?

Really loved the first story in the collection.

THROWBACK THURSDAY - THE BECOMING: Anna Strong, Vampire, Book 1

The Becoming: Anna Strong, Vampire, Book 1

By Jeanne C. Stein

Narrated by Dina Pearlman

Anna Strong Series

7 hrs and 4 mins

3.8 rating (796 reviews) on Audible

This was the first Audio Book that I bought on Audible back in April 2012! Wow already been a member for 5 years! I have the entire series and I do have the entire series! I highly recommend this series. It is not all blood and guts. The story line that Jeanne C. Stein has developed with the Anna Strong character and her friends. 

Anna Strong is a bail bonds person. She was once a teacher that wanted more to life. So with her partner a former NFL player. They bring their man or woman anyway they can. Anna however, meets her match one night and gets attacked by the man she was racing after. Little did she know that he was a vampire. So "The Becoming" was a huge hit with me. I have a friend that could not wait until I finished the book to start the next one. 

Dina Pearlman is one of my favorite narrators. I so enjoyed her narration of the series along with a few other books in my Audible Library. She hits the mark for every book she narrates! She brings the characters and stories to life! To date she has 219 books on Audible that she has brought to life. Check out her list of books on Audible.

Check out this page of all Jeanne C. Stein's books on Audible. You can also check her out on her website, facebook, Goodreads, and Twitter .

My First Review! Before I knew about the free-form review!

What did you love best about The Becoming?

It grabs you from the first paragraph read! You can envision the characters that are in that hot pursuit!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Becoming?

When Anna realizes she is not your typical vampire!

Have you listened to any of Dina Pearlman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I have not - but I certainly look forward to listening to other books she has preformed!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I found myself so caught up in the story could not wait to listen to the next and the next!

Any additional comments?

This is certainly not your typical vampire book of blood and gore - even though there is. But, there seems to be a somewhat auroa that surrounds this series! A must listen to! Dian Pearlman is an excellent narrator bring Jeanne Stein's characters to life!
