The smallest of creatures often carry the sharpest of stings. Lydia Chapman is just such a vampire. Her small stature hides a mighty wit, a razor-edged tongue, and an implacable protector of the only natural-born vampire in existence. Here is the back story of the snarkiest hero on Team Gordon/Demidova, told in her own words, just for fans of the Demon Accords. Go ahead and underestimate her ... it'll be fun.

As a massive fan of the Demon Accords series this was a complete let down all because of the narrator......I've listened to the series 5 times so far and if I listen again I'll give this one a miss. Trying to work out who was talking due to different voices and persona's was the main thing that ruined it. Pronouncing Barbiel - Bar-Bile, Bar-BELL & and numerous other ways for one was driving me mad :) Should of stuck with James Patrick Cronin, even when doing the different genders he is ideal.

Wrong narrator

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series in the main and thought it a good move to have a female narrator tell a female character’s story.
I LOVED the Lydia story.
However, the inclusion at random points of Vorsook/Hell storyline annoyed me. I felt it unnecessary and I didn't enjoy it.
You are always going to get different pronouciations with different narrators, but overall I think she did a great job and will be purchasing the other stories she has narrated.

Loved Lydia’s story, shame about the rest

I really like the series, but the woman who performs this story has an awful, highpitched voice. And very non-versatile with it.
I had to turn the volume down, for her voice hurt my ears. Literally. This is a perfect example of how to ruin a story. I may consider to buy the e-book instead.

Good continuity of the story

You can't help but love Lydia and this is a great opportunity to find out more about her and how she came to be a vampire. Not only that though, this book continues the Demon Accords story really well as it goes between the past and the present. I am really looking forward to discovering which character Conroe focuses on next and where the story goes.
