This was an entertaining audio production. Less a book and more an old style radio show with voice actors and sound effects.
The story itself isn't anything new or fresh, but it was well told and the actors all did a great job in delivering their lines. The sound f/x worked well to enhance the immersion.
If this had just been a book, I likely would have given it 3 stars, but overall I had a good time with it. It ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, so hopefully they continue it.

The dramatization is a thrill to listen to. Literally got goosebumps when the creatures showed up, the sounds of their sniffing and snarling as they hunted for our heroes.
It ends with the possibility for a sequel, and I desperately hope one is in production.
This audiobook is a full cast book, most of the voice actors are famous actors from game of thrones and that got me really excited to read it. It's also fully engineered with footsteps, animal sounds, breathing, glass breaking and environmental sounds. It's only five hours long so it's pretty easy to get through.
This is an apocalyptic survival horror book, where vampires and humans are at war. The overall plot is fantastic, and the originality of it all really got to me. They really do portray vampires in a new way, it doesn't feel like a copy and paste of everything that has already been done. Also the fact that the entire story happens in a very desolate snowy place adds a lot to the atmosphere.
The characters are all very compelling and lovely, but the overall execution of the plot is not the greatest. If this wasn't the most over-produced audiobook in the history of mankind, I believe reading it on paper would be a little boring.
Lucky for us, the overproduction worked.
It is totally worth a listen.
This stands out so much not only because of the great voice acting and sound engineering, but I really love the way they brought something new to the vampires we are used to. All of these vampire hunters were forced to face their own hatred when one of their own gets turned, and I love how human the whole thing felt.
"There isn't a violent thought in our heads that wasn't already there before the change."
"Your heart may not beat, but it still breaks, like everyone else's."
So yeah, surprisingly romantic, filled with tons of character development and a very scientific/interesting way to look at our own human condition when facing the unknown.
It does end on a cliffhanger, it seems to be a little collection of novellas. So if you end up reading it, you might need to pick up the next physical books that are not produced in audio yet.
