THE BLOOD COUNTESS A Pandora English novel

Nineteen-year-old Pandora has just moved to Manhattan from a small town. She’s living with her eccentric great-aunt and has landed a job at a fashion magazine, so she’s got the world on a string—except for some problems with ghosts. And vampires. And prophecies. Narrator Rosemary Watson portrays the youthful naïveté of Pandora, the world-weariness and Transylvanian accents of the ancient vampires, and the husky tones of Pandora’s suitor, all with equal grace. The production is a bit reminiscent of a 1940s radio play, with its chipper girl reporter in the midst of a mystery. There’s good humor in the writing, and Watson makes sure the listener has as much fun as she does. G.D. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2011]
