Entertaining

I had high hopes for this one, I loved Bill the Vampire and expected this to be just as amusing, it is not really in the same groove as Bill but it is entertaining and it is amusing, albeit in different ways, I found this book to be more serious than Bill in general but a pretty good storyline kept me listening and I loved the narrator who kept me on track when my mind would otherwise have wandered off.

Cool vamp story

To keep this simple… I really enjoyed this because it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

The narrator was really channelling his Samual L Jackson vibe, which isn’t a bad thing. I’m pretty sure that it’s something the author was trying to do.

It is funny. Not as LOL as the Supervillainy series which is my favourite but is more so than his other series.

Hilarious!

I loved this, Wraith Knight was good, but this is so much better.

It's not your typical vampire story. there's calamity galore. The jokes had me laughing my head off while driving and I must have looked hilarious as there were a couple that had me in tears. So many references that just made this story one of my all time favs!

Charles really knows how to do funny! And Cary was the perfect voice for the characters, especially the MC Peter Stone. Great fn all around and I want more of this one too! well just more of this to be honest.

Thank you for sharing this one.

Another Great Phipps Book!

Would you listen to Straight Outta Fangton again? Why?

Definitely. It was hilarious!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Peter was an easy guy to root for so he was definitely my favourite but he was backed by a good cast of fun secondary characters.

Which character – as performed by Cary Hite – was your favourite?

I felt like Hite gave a good performance of all of the major characters. He did have a couple of bad accents for a few very minor characters but on the whole I thought he was excellent. He got the tone of the story right at all times which was important as this was a dark comedy that balanced the hilarious moments and witty banter with some pretty dark moments.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. I liked the characters and the story was definitely engaging.

Any additional comments?

The whole story was a lot of fun. The banter between Peter, David, and Melissa was hilarious and I do love the fact that Phipps packed the story full of fun pop culture references and jokes. The story turned out to be pretty dark as the vamps were definitely not the fluffy Twilight type but the humour and the witty banter helped keep the story from being to bleak.

I think I own all of Phipps books in audio and outside of his Supervillainy Saga books I think this is his most enjoyable world yet. The world is interesting and I loved how a lot of the stuff in the story was a clever analogy for everyday bigotry in modern society.

Fans of CTP's books will enjoy it

If you're familiar with CTP's books then you won't be disappointed here. His style holds true with the humor and immediate leap into the story with no slow burn winding up. Just boom, here you go! The main character as well as the supporting ones are well-rounded with distinct and charming personalities all their own. I really enjoyed the narrator's voice and almost hoped he would launch into Barry White "I can't get enough of your blood, babe!" The only issue, and why I gave him a measly 3.5 stars, was his cadence. There was some very long pauses between dialogue and dialogue tags. I'm talking what felt like a full 3 count. It did get better toward the middle onward. Looking forward to the next book.
