Procure Bloody Acquisitions (Fred, The Vampire Accountant, #3) Presented By Drew Hayes Displayed In Manuscript
not to love about a vampire accountant that wears a sweater vest!! This series is a lot of fun, My favorite Fred book yet! While not the greatest book ever written or even a series, this is what I expect from my guilt pleasure A belated selection for the r/FantasyBingo for the 'Novel Published In' square.
This kind of reading is a palate cleanser for me, This is the third book in the series and they just keep getting better and better, The humor is entertaining and the book has characters that I care for, I will probably end up binge reading the rest of the published books in the series now, Stars

This was yet another sweet, light, funny, enjoyable audiobook in the Fred series, It's getting harder for me to review them though since I've liked the same things every time, Fred is definitely a unique, atypical sort of vampire, but that's what makes him so likeable, The found family aspect is great too, I also thought it was neat getting to see a vampire hunter from a vampire's perspective, There are lots of books/movies/shows in which hunters just go around killing any creature they find, but just because someone is paranormal, that doesn't means they're a monster.
Oh, also, I would totally read a book about Arch, Anyone who can sit at a table pointing a gun at hostile vampires with one hand and casually eat his meal with the other is someone I want to know more about lol.
Anyway, these are not the most actionpacked or gripping books out there, but they're definitely enjoyable to listen to!
sitelinkOriginal Metaphors and Moonlight The adventures of Fred and his friends are just getting more interesting as we move along.
Alos like that his group of friends is going,
Highly recommend this series to people who like short adventures set in the paranormal urban fantasy setting, The continuing adventures of Fred the Vampire Accountant are anything but uninteresting, Fred now has to deal with the fact that a vampire clan has moved into his hometown and are dead set on recruiting him, Fred has difficulty with the idea of being forced to answer to be a bunch of preening sociopaths and looks for a loophole to get him out.
He also faces his first vampire hunter that is determined to destroy such an evil monster as Fred must be since no vampire could be so inoffensive.
I had a lot of fun with this book and it nicely expanded on Fred's adventures while also moving his character forward, These are harmless adventures and mostly on the PG side of thingswhich is a nice contrast to many other books set in the urban fantasy genre, Fred could use a bit more edge but that would defeat the purpose, wouldn't it I've already picked up theth novel and intend to finish the series.
It's just solid entertainment and a good afternoon after midnight read,
Two fangs out, I adore this series. Yes, I think I have said this before It is so much fun, I listened to all three books and the narration is very good, I love the way the story is told in segments as memoirs and how the author has other characters take the role of storyteller as needed, Fred is one my favorite vampire characters, Not a stereotype at all, I enjoyed the way the story develops the relationships between Fred and his friends, It is choosing who we are,who we want to be, and not who people think we should be, Our choices in life, ones moral compass and how family is more than blood or type of parahuman, This book is humorous, at times predictable, but not always as I imagined things would go, For those who wonder, it is not MM which is my usual genre, but has LGBT characters, There is no on page sex and mild cursing, There is mage drug use her own creations and a lot of standing up for others regardless of your gender or para human form,
I enjoyed this book and the ending very much and I am excited that there is a fourth book in the plans, Go Fred! This one has been my favorite of the series thus far for being exciting and surprising, The individual stories themselves are still not polished but as a whole the character arcs are fun, There is a lot more swearing in this book, so I could not listen to the audiobook with children audiences nearby, I AM DEVOURING THIS SERIES AND I DID NOT EXPECT THAT WHATSOEVER,
I am telling you this, dear reader, that Fred, the Vampire Accountant has quickly become one of my FAVORITE series of all time, ever.
The fact that I almost DNFed the first books makes it hilarious, but it's true, These characters consistently are amazing, the new characters that come in make their mark almost immediately, I was basically crying on my way home from work while listening to the end of this book specifically, Like nearly full on sobbing, I adore these people, and the way they care for one another, It's a beautiful sight to behold, My favourite so far. There's something incredibly joyful about a bunch of misfits using paperwork to slap down murderous villians,
A light, comedic fantasy tale, The MC is as the subtitle suggests a vampire accountant and a coward, His moral compass, however, finds him overwork and in dangerous situations, What makes this series unique is that instead of one novel length story, each book is a series of interconnected novellas, I confess myself surprised. This being the third foray into this world sitelinkDrew Hayes could've just cruised on autopilot and I'm sure I would've been suitably entertained, however he chooses to go deeper.
This installment explores the widening or deepening of Fred's character: who is he when it matters what is it to really be brave the nature of chosen family etc.
and he approaches these themes with humor and generosity of spirit,
I'm delighted to have been derailed by this series, and the narration by sitelinkKirby Heyborne continues to be perfect,
Wat een topserie dit!! Super vreemd en daardoor heerlijk om mee te ontspannen My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at sitelinkHotlistens.

Once again, we are back in the world of Fred, the Vampire Accountant, This series continues to be a lot of fun as Fred and his gang of friends go through his utterly interesting and adventurous tales, In this series, each book has five shorter stories that all come together to tell a larger story about Fred,
A Hunter in the Streets
In this story, Fred meets up with a vampire hunter and the first vampire, besides his creator, that Fred has ever met.
He learns that he is quite infamous amongst the other vampires,
A Sheriff in the Country
In this story, Fred and the gang travel outside of Winslow, Colorado to Boarback, Texas, Borback is a small town that isnt well known to humans, In this town, paranormals live out in the open, Many live there because they cant live anywhere else without exposing themselves, It was really interesting seeing all of these other creatures of legend,
A Lawyer in the Mansion
Here, Fred is invited by an old friend, which we met in an earlier book, who needs help settling a dispute between two siblings.
Their father had died and the estate was to be divided amongst the two, However, figuring out the even distribution was difficult, The siblings couldnt get along, so Fred was called in to do his accountant thing to assess the value of everything, including the business,
A Spy in the Company
There are new vampires in town and they offer one of their clan to Fred as a “gift”, She works as his intern
for a while, Fred doesnt want her to like the job, so he takes her on what he thinks will be very boring cases, but nothing around Fred is ever boring.
An Accountant in the City
This one was my favorite, The new vampires want to takeover the city, Fred, being a single vampire and not involved with a vampire family, is at a disadvantage, I loved watching Fred flex his muscles as on he can,
This series continues to be a very fun series, I love spending time with Fred, He is such a nice guy and doesnt want to hurt anyone, Just wants to live his life and keep himself and his friends safe, Oh, and he wants to grow his business, Business is very important to Fred, but not in a greedy way, Fred would never be so rude as to be greedy, To learn more about this series and the author, check out this sitelinkgreat interview with Drew Hayes from The Reading Frenzy,
Narration
Kirby Heyborne continues to do a great job with narration of the series, He has a very calm voice that really portrays Fred to a tea, When I listened to book one, I wasnt in love with his womens voices, but I think they have gotten a lot better or Ive gotten used to them.
I cant imagine anyone else being the voice of Fred or anyone else in the gang,
I like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review, .
