This is a first for me – an audio drama. The dramatization is outstanding, though the story is very atypical for me. 
 
This is a post-apocalyptic scenario where Earth is hit by a comet and is a cold frozen place which no longer receives adequate sunlight. The central characters are two sisters – Darcy and Hope. Darcy is a vampire hunter, while Hope just wishes things would get better. The survivors face great challenges including from vampires. I am not used to vampire storylines which is quite prominent, other than the survival adventure. 
 
The immersive audio & sound effects are amazing and the best I have heard in an audiobook. The sound effects conjure good imagery, and the actors are all very good. Though the story is not one I typically read/hear, I still largely enjoyed this audio drama. 
 
The second season is also out – I am in two minds but will probably take it up in a few months.
