Summary
Ashara Konrad, rock music photojournalist and vampire, has a secret. One she hasn’t spoken of in over a century.
Now, that secret has come back from the grave, hell-bent on destroying the most promising musicians of the age in service to an old voodoo curse.
If Ashara hadn’t seen her vampire twin, Zariaz, dismembered and scattered after going on a killing spree, targeting musicians a century earlier, she would think Zariaz was behind the slaughter, looking to fulfill her 1000-musician curse.
But it takes more than dismemberment to keep a bad vampire down. And this time, Zariaz is looking for revenge against the twin who betrayed her and the musician she's in love with.
Will Ashara be able to keep her new love safe from her deadliest secret? Or will he become the latest musician to feed Zariaz's curse?
Dark Duet is a haunting and lyrical vampire romance, set in the music world, during the Age of Aquarius. The author, Staci Layne Wilson, is the daughter of a rock star and pin-up model. Her own travels and upbringing in the music world help weave a rich tapestry for this series.

Dark Duet
I was given this audio book by courtesy of the author and Bookboom in return for an honest opinion.
I have to admit this was not the most exciting book I have read/listened to, but it was pleasant and well narrated and it did liven up half way through. The twist at the end was well thought out, though, for me, not a complete surprise, and yes, that said I would read/listen to the next instalment.
However, I have to say, for the first half of the book I felt it tried much too hard to set itself in the swinging 70’s, so much so that that it grated with the effort every time a reference was made. The voice of Liam (when playing the 70s musician) was stereotypical and cringe worthy, but improved when he revealed his true identity and things became a bit more action related. I only mention this because I am old enough to remember those heady days but understand that a younger audience may appreciate the effort being made by the author/narrators.
I liked the fact that Ashara could function in a recognisable modern world, but couldn’t come to terms with the amount of dead bodies vampire Ashara alone would be leaving in her trail (and never raising alarm with law enforcement) just to keep herself fed. And the excuses for taking their lives were a bit far-fetched. Murder is murder, there are no excuses.
All in all, the story felt original, and despite it’s slow start, finished well. It would probably make a great beach read/ listen or for a great afternoon relaxing in front of a crackling fire. Also more for the YA market than us older folks!

Wonderful listen!
Dark Duet, the first book in the Immortal Confessions, is a very well-written paranormal vampire tale with a unique premise warped in the world of music. The storyline is nicely composed, with romance, passion, and darker elements, making it more intriguing. The story reads almost like a memoir; I found it both refreshing and appealing. The character development was excellent; I connected and emotionally responded to predicaments. Hopefully, the second book, Music at Midnight, will be released soon. Need to find out what happens next! The narration by Lillian Yves and Vincent Lee Grayson is absolutely fantastic. They captured the essence of the characters, emotions, and animation, literally breathing life into the story. All in all, the Dark Duet is a very intriguing paranormal listen, one I'll recommend.
