The Demon Count

Written by Anne Stuart

Narrated by Corinne Davies

In a world of grandeur but also nightmarish evils, his dangerous passion drew her to him . . .

As soon as she arrives in Venice, golden-haired Charlotte Morrow is pursued by the city's most dashing and celebrated men. Young and reckless, the orphaned English ward of a mysterious guardian expects a life of parties and adventure.

Instead she finds herself little better than a bird in a gilded cage at Edentide, her guardian's immense palazzo on the Grand Canal. A "Ghoul of Venice" is terrorizing the city, draining beautiful young women of their blood. To Charlotte's horror, her handsome, brooding guardian, whom she secretly calls the Demon Count, is considered a prime suspect. Every night in his mansion is a spine-tingling battle between passion and fear, as he draws her to him with irresistible desires and dark cravings.

Is he protecting her from the Ghoul, or savoring the prospect of her seduction and murder?

Reviews for The Demon Count

[Nata Kis · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The book is really good, but for narration.. really annoying. Messed up a good story. All the voices and accent are just horrible. Would've been better if the narrator just stuck to a different intonation. Sometimes, the simpler, the better. Hate overacting by narrators.

The story itself was good, but the narration was lacking. The MC female voice was fine, it was the male voices that were bad. They all sounded the same and like evil villains.

[Melissa Nagle McCollom · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is my favorite book of hers so far! ❤️ This one held mystery and intrigue, postponing the intimacy until near the end of the book. It even made me tear up. Well done!

[J Plested · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

The narrator turned me off this book as soon as it started.

[LM Rader · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The premise of the plot is good.... the execution was somewhat lacking. I found the mundane was explained as if the reader was a simpleton and anything important or impressive was rushed.
